Our babies love exploring the beach through throwing stones, watching ripples and discovering cause and effect. These beautiful, repeated actions support their trajectory schemas, curiosity and sensory development.
Fresh air, freedom to explore and meaningful outdoor experiences nurture wellbeing, confidence and early learning, linking to the Curriculum for Wales and the development of healthy, confident individuals. 🌿

Our children have been doing so well with self-registration at circle time! 💛

This simple Montessori-inspired activity encourages independence, confidence and a sense of belonging, as the children recognise their own photographs and take an active part in their morning routine.

We love seeing the children take ownership of their routine and grow in confidence every day! ✨

🌿💚 Wellbeing in Bloom at Toadhall Montessori Crèche 💚🌿

Today our garden was transformed into a wonderful wellbeing space, where the children explored different ways to care for themselves and others through play.

Our Foot Spa gave the children the opportunity to enjoy a calming sensory experience, while our Relaxation Station offered a peaceful space to unwind, rest, and enjoy quiet moments together. At our Hydration Station, the children learned the importance of drinking water to keep their bodies healthy and strong.

We also enjoyed caring for our dolls by gently washing them and applying cream, helping to develop empathy, kindness, and nurturing skills through imaginative play.

These meaningful experiences support children's physical, emotional, and social wellbeing while encouraging independence, compassion, and healthy lifelong habits.

💚 At Toadhall Montessori Crèche, we believe that caring for ourselves, caring for others, and connecting with nature are all important parts of growing and learning.

Today our crèche children enjoyed a visit to the river, exploring nature by throwing rocks into the water. 🪨💦

Outdoor learning encourages curiosity, develops coordination, builds confidence, and helps children learn through hands-on experiences. Another wonderful day of exploring the world around us! 🌿🍃

⚠️ WARNING - ARTIFICIAL GRASS! ⚠️

Do you have, or are you considering getting artificial grass in your garden? One thing to bear in mind, particularly if you have pets or little ones running around barefoot in the summer, is just how hot artificial turf can get because it can cause BURNS.

❗️As this image shows, artificial grass will heat up way more than natural grass and as it doesn’t have the same natural cooling effect as real grass, it can stay hotter for longer, too, making it a burn hazard for little feet.

🔆 The heat can depend on what type of artificial grass you have installed and how/when it was laid. Some have temperature moderation technology reflecting and dissipating heat into the atmosphere.

⚠️ So be aware, check your artificial lawn to see if it is safe to walk on without footwear. 🔥

💦 AND DON'T FORGET FIRST AID FOR BURNS:-

All burns for babies, children or adults must be treated with:-

✅COOL/TEPID
✅RUNNING WATER
✅FOR 20 MINS! ❗️

‼️If this is your friends/ family’s first summer with a baby please consider sharing this post with them to raise awareness!

💚 Also, consider attending a local 2 hour Mini First Aid class to ensure you’re confident in all first aid emergencies with babies and children.
