Who knew a bath bomb could create so much excitement? 🫧💚

The children loved getting hands-on with this water play activity, dissolving the bath bomb, watching the water transform and using different pots, jugs and utensils to pour, scoop and explore. 💦

A fun sensory activity with lots of little discoveries along the way! ✨

Choosing a nursery is a big decision… you want somewhere your little one can feel happy and secure, make friends, explore, create and grow in confidence. 💛

At Small Explorers, every day brings new opportunities to learn through play, get messy, ask questions and have plenty of those “look what I did!” moments. 🌱🎨

A little look at what we’ve been getting up to at Monks Hill Nursery this week! 🌈✨

From colourful sensory play and getting creative with paint, to building, constructing and exploring through imaginative play, there’s always something to get stuck into. 🧱🎨

Plenty of opportunities to explore, create and learn through play. 💚

The biggest impact often comes from the smallest moments. 💚

Reading together, encouraging curiosity, making time to play, speaking kindly and helping children feel safe all help shape confident, happy little explorers.

Every little thing really does make a big difference. 🌱✨

What a way to kick off Summer Club! ☀️

These were just some of today’s activity stations, all ready for a day full of exploring, creating, building and playing.

Seeing every table, game and activity enjoyed by the children made all the preparation worthwhile. 💚

Roll on Day 2! 🌈

There’s something extra special about a lunch you’ve made yourself. 💚

This week, our little chefs have been busy preparing their own lunches, building confidence, developing new skills and having lots of fun along the way. 👩‍🍳✨

Cooking is about so much more than food – it’s a chance to encourage independence, communication, fine motor skills and a willingness to try new things.

We think they did an amazing job! 👏💛

An hour outside is never just an hour outside. 💚

To children, it’s climbing, exploring, collecting, creating and asking endless questions.

To us, it’s science, maths, communication, confidence, resilience and so much more.

Every puddle jumped in, stick collected and bug discovered is helping to build skills they’ll use for life.

Sometimes, the best classroom has no walls at all. 🌳✨
