ABC Nursery Coventry

The rain hasn’t stopped us diving into some exciting activities this week ✨

The toddlers have been taking part in the big green week, using recycled materials to get creative and add different features to their play. They have used boxes to play sorting games and also created a large recycling truck ♻️

The Raindrops children have been using problem solving skills at group time Looking for specific items hidden under stacking cups.
They have also been using physical skills over in the art room scooping, filling and emptying containers and searching for mini beasts in a sensory tray.

The preschool and sunshine children took part in a following instructions game out in the garden followed by a dance lesson with our talented teacher Tilly 💃
They have also been using the train resources to encourage number skills. The children had to match train numbers to the numbers on the stations.
Over in the art room the children had the chance to make fruit salads, talking about the smell and texture of the fruits and then take them home to taste them 🍋‍🟩 🍎 🥭

It’s going to be another beautiful day! ☀️

This week the ABC children have been joining in with our mini beasts theme!
The toddlers have had sensory trays with miniature insects to find, as well as making creepy crawly pictures!
Over in the preschool art room we have been creating buzzy bee pictures and a bee hive for them to live in 🐝
In their role play room lots of the children engaged with the bug hotel, dressing up as different mini beasts and checking in insects of all kinds! The children used imaginative skills to create mini beast delicacies and serve them up to their friends 🐛 🐞

Today’s visitor was one of our very own ABC parents who came to chat to the children about her job - A doctor 🩺

Caitlin used a doll to model some of the equipment used at check ups such as a stethoscope and thermometer. The children gained some hands on experience having a go and seeing how the items are used.

Caitlin spoke to the children about things that keep us safe and healthy such as suncream, a helmet, antibacterial soap and Calpol.

A very big thank you to for coming over and talking to the ABC children today and gave some hands on experience for our ‘people who help us’ theme.

2 lovely officers came and spoke to the children about their day to day role, showed them around their equipment vests they wear and allowed the children to dress up.

The preschool children were given a task to learn their road name and house number to help them if they ever get lost. I wonder how many of you can practise this at home?

Visits like this help children build confidence, learn about safety, and develop positive relationships with the people who help keep our community safe.

Today we celebrate an incredible milestone as we say “see you soon” to our wonderful Nursery Manager after 21 years at ABC.

Over the years, you have helped shape the lives of so many children and families with your kindness, patience, guidance, and unwavering support. Your passion for creating a safe and nurturing environment has made such a lasting impact on everyone who has walked through our doors.

While we are sad to see you retire from your role as Manager, we are so grateful that this isn’t truly goodbye, as you’ll still be coming back to spend time helping and supporting the children who adore you so much.

Thank you for the memories, the laughter, the hard work, and the love you have given over the past 21 years. Your legacy will always be part of our nursery family, and you will be deeply appreciated by staff, parents, and children past and present.

Wishing you all the happiness and relaxation you deserve in this new chapter — although we know the little faces here will still be lucky enough to see you around! 💐❤️

This week we have had a super exciting visit from ZooLab uk! The preschool and sunshine children have been up close and personal with lots of different creepy crawlies 🐛🐞🐜🕷️
