We are looking forward to welcoming our returning children and new children to nursery this week. If you are unsure of your allocated date please give nursery a call and we will be able to help.

Good luck to Turncroft children and families that start reception class this week!

See you all soon 😊

Today is always a day filled with mixed emotions. We say goodbye to most of our children who are now more than ready for their next adventure in primary school which always a proud and yet tearful moment.

A huge thank you to the wonderful children and families at Turncroft. You make a fabulous job even more special. Thank you for entrusting us with your children and we wish you all the very best of luck. Please call in to see us!

Some of our children will return in September and we look forward to you all setting a wonderful example to our new children.

I wish the wonderful children, families and staff a wonderful summer.

Thank you 🥰

This week at nursery we have enjoyed all things Easter!
We had a surprise visit from the Easter bunny who hid eggs for us to find🐰
We have had a visit from the Zoolab who brought a corn snake, tarantula, cockroach, gerbil, giant African land snail and a tree frog. We had some very brave children touching and holding some of them!
We had hot cross buns for snack and have had lots of fun filled activities going on through nursery throughout the week.

We wish all of you a lovely Easter break!

We have had a very busy week in nursery this week. We started the week celebrating Nursery Rhyme week. We have sang, played games and been very creative whilst singing: Humpty Dumpty, Two Little Dickie Birds, Sing a song of sixpence and I hear thunder. We have loved nursery rhyme week and it has been lovely to see the children singing so much!

We have had a wonderful day today raising money for Children in Need. The children have looked wonderful in their yellow clothes, ears and some with crazy hair! We have raised £50 so far so thankyou for your support.
Have a lovely weekend.

It was lovely to welcome everyone back on Monday after the half term break, the children have settled quickly back into the routines which is great to see.

This week we have been reading 'Room on the Broom' by Julia Donaldson. The children have loved acting out the story and dressing up. We have been thinking all about bonfire night, fireworks and the changes that we see around us. We have been learning all about the number 1 too which has been lots of fun. We looked at the artist Jackson Po***ck and his artwork 'Firework' and then created some of our own. We made breadstick sparklers and loved eating them!

Take a look at our photographs to see the exciting things we have been upto.

Have a lovely weekend.
