Circus Day Nursery

🎓✨ Preschool Graduation Day! ✨🎓

Today we celebrated a very special milestone at Circus Day Nursery as we said goodbye to our wonderful preschool children as they begin their next adventure at school.

It has been such a privilege to watch each child grow, learn and flourish. 💛

A huge thank you to all our families for their continued trust and support. We wish all our preschool children the very best of luck for their exciting next chapter — we know they will continue to shine! 🌟

Good luck, Class of 2026! 🎓💫

🐘🌍 World Elephant Day 🌍🐘

The children had a wonderful time celebrating World Elephant Day by creating their own elephants using a variety of resources. They enjoyed being creative while learning about these magnificent animals, and the importance of protecting wildlife. 💚

It was lovely to see the children turn-taking, sharing resources and working together. 🐘✨

Threading is vital in the early years education because it builds foundational motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and concentration.
Guiding a string through a small hole strengthens the precise finger and hand muscles children need later for writing, drawing, and self-care tasks like doing up buttons or tying shoes 🙏

All the children at Circus are enjoying observing the sunflowers in the garden growing and reaching the clouds.
Growing sunflowers in early years education teaches children about plant life cycles, builds responsibility through regular watering, enhances fine motor skills and introducing basic maths concepts 🌻

Today Jugglers have been exploring and investigating our woodland area.
The children have been taking safe risks climbing the trees, digging with the diggers in the mud and role playing in the mud kitchen.
At Circus day Nursery we are so proud of our extensive outdoor environments which offers the children ample opportunities to explore the world around them showing curiosity, awe and wonder 🌳

Colour recognition activities are a great way to support early childhood development. They help children learn to identify and name colours, sort and match objects, and enjoy creative activities like art and colour collages.

These fun experiences also support early maths and reading skills, improve fine motor and hand-eye coordination, and help children build important social skills like sharing, taking turns, and working together.

Puzzles are a valuable learning tool in the early years, supporting children’s development in many ways. As children fit pieces together, they build problem-solving skills, strengthen fine motor control and develop perseverance and confidence through play.

Puzzle activities also encourage important social skills, such as turn-taking, sharing, and working together, making them a fun and meaningful part of everyday learning. 🧩

Clowns have been enjoying reading books outside in the garden. When children read in a peaceful outdoor setting, they can experience a sense of tranquility and being clam 📚

This month our Circus library is focusing on shells.
Teaching children about shells involves hand on experience of textures, sorting by size, shape, and discovering that shells are a protective home for sea animals called molluscus 🐚

This morning some of our clowns children embraced a morning stroll to the local park.
Developing cultural capital, social interactions, physical development and understanding of the world.
The children also enjoyed their picnic snack whilst visiting the park 🛝
