A big thank you to all of our toddler families who joined us for our Transition Picnic! 💚

It was lovely to spend some time together, giving the children and their families the opportunity to meet their new key person, explore together and get to know some of the other children and families who will be joining them in their new room! 🥰

We would like to say a huge thank you to Fran and Colette from TasteEd, who joined us to lead two wonderful sessions with our children and parents!🍎🍍🥭

The sessions supported our us and our families with healthy eating and introducing new foods, encouraging the children to explore food using their senses, looking, touching, smelling and, of course, tasting! 👀

It was lovely to see our children exploring different foods and having fun while developing positive experiences around healthy eating. 🥕🍓🍋

This weekend, some of our team had the fantastic opportunity to attend the EPOP, Exploring the Power of Play Festival, where we were invited to host our very own workshop all about sustainability and our Eco Club! 🌱♻️🐝

We had such a brilliant day sharing some of the ways we embed sustainability into everyday nursery life, the work we have been carrying out with our children through Eco Club, and lots of practical ideas that other settings can take away and try too. 💚

It was wonderful to share our practice and knowledge with so other passionate Early Years practitioners and professionals, while also learning from and being inspired by others throughout the day. 🌻✨

A huge well done to Sophie, who recently attended her Level 3 Forest School training! 🌳💚

Sophie had the chance to explore lots of practical skills, activities and fresh ideas that she can bring back to the children🌿

We can’t wait to see her learning embedded even further into our everyday practice and all the new Forest School experiences it will inspire! 🪵✨

Outdoor play is such a huge part of what we do at Scallywags, so we make sure our outdoor environments are given just as much love and attention, if not more!💚

We want our outdoor spaces to be places where children can explore, investigate, get messy, connect with nature and simply enjoy being outside!🍃🐝

With the lovely warm weather, our preschool children have been enjoying learning all about the sea and oceans, with plenty of water play to keep us cool! 💦☀️

Megan extended this learning into our Forest School sessions, where the children had the opportunity to design and make their very own wooden fish using real tools🪚🔨🌿

We think they look absolutely brilliant!🐠
