🛡️ Safeguarding Day at Nursery 🛡️

As part of our nursery curriculum, we celebrate a Pantosaurus Day each month to help children learn important safeguarding messages in a fun, age-appropriate way. 💚

Take a look at some of the wonderful learning that took place across the rooms today. The children enjoyed a range of activities that encouraged discussions about feelings, trusted adults, personal boundaries, and how to stay safe. Through stories, songs, creative activities, and group discussions, the children were able to build their understanding and confidence in a supportive environment.

We are proud of how engaged the children were and the thoughtful conversations that took place throughout the day. 🦖✨

For more photos of your child taking part in today's activities, please see the Famly app. 📸

Jeanette brought in a table tennis activity for the preschool children to explore today. 🏓 The children had lots of fun taking part and showed excellent turn-taking skills as they waited patiently for their turns and encouraged their friends. This activity helped to promote coordination, concentration, and social interaction. 😊

🌙✨ Preschool Pyjama Day! ✨🌙

Today, Payton and two of our preschool children were having a lovely chat about their favourite pyjamas. During their conversation, they came up with a fantastic idea – why not have a Pyjama Day at nursery? 🧸💤

The children were very excited and decided together that Monday would be the perfect day to celebrate! 🎉

We would love to see as many children and staff as possible joining in by coming to nursery in their favourite pyjamas. Whether it's colourful, cosy, character-themed, or covered in stars, we can't wait to see everyone's choices! ⭐🌈

The children are already talking about it and are super excited for the special day. We hope you'll join us in making it a fun and memorable experience for everyone. 💙

📅 Pyjama Day: Monday
👕 Wear your favourite pyjamas
😊 Lots of fun and excitement guaranteed!

We can't wait to see everyone in their comfy PJs! 💤✨
