Osmaston Day Nursery

🎓💙 A HUGE Thank You to Our Amazing Preschool Team! 💙🎓

We want to take a moment to say a massive thank you to our incredible Preschool Team for everything you have done to prepare our children for their next big adventure — starting school! 🏫✨

You have supported, encouraged and nurtured our preschoolers every step of the way, helping them develop the confidence, independence and skills they need to take that exciting next step. 🌟

We are especially proud that all of our children leave preschool potty trained and ready for school, which is such an important milestone in their independence. 🚽👏 From learning to manage their own personal care to putting on their coats, shoes and belongings, your patience and encouragement have helped them become confident, independent little learners. ❤️

And what better way to celebrate their journey than with such a wonderful Graduation Party! 🎓🎉

From the planning and preparation to all the little details that made the day so special, your hard work and dedication truly shone through. ❤️

We are so proud of our preschoolers, but we are equally proud of the team behind them. Thank you for helping them grow, learn and believe in themselves. 🌈

Here’s to the next chapter for our little graduates! 🎓✨ We know they are going to do amazing things! 💙

Thank you, Preschool Team — you are amazing! 👏🥰

🖤✨ Sensory Sunday! ✨🖤

Today our children had so much fun exploring our sensory blackout tunnel! 🌈🔦

We filled the tunnel with lots of exciting flowing, light-up balls, creating a magical sensory experience for the children to explore. 💫⚪✨

The children loved crawling through the dark tunnel, watching the lights move and change, reaching out to touch the glowing balls and discovering what was around them. 👀👐

Sensory play provides so many opportunities for children to explore, investigate and use their senses while developing curiosity, confidence and coordination. 🧠💙

There were plenty of smiles, giggles and lots of “WOW!” moments! 😍

✨ A little bit of darkness, lots of glowing lights and a whole lot of fun! ✨

💙🌞 Summer Fayre Donation – Giving Back to Our Community 🌞💙

We are so proud to share what happened with the money we raised at our Summer Fayre! 🎉💰

Our children and staff walked over to our local care home to personally hand over the money as a donation. 🥰

It was so lovely to be able to give back to our local community and teach the children the importance of kindness, generosity and helping others. 💙

We would also like to say a HUGE thank you to all of our wonderful parents and families who came along to support our Summer Fayre. ❤️ Without your support, we wouldn’t have been able to raise this money for such a wonderful cause. Your generosity and participation helped us make a real difference. 🌈

And what a lovely surprise they had waiting for our children! 🥹🧩

The care home kindly rewarded the children with their very own jigsaw puzzles, and the children got to choose their own one! They were absolutely delighted and couldn’t wait to get started. 😍

Although… judging by the size of some of those puzzles, they might be busy for a little while! 😂🧩

A huge thank you to our wonderful care home for welcoming us, supporting our children and making this such a special experience. ❤️

Small acts of kindness can make a BIG difference. 🌈✨

😊💙 Smiles That Last a Lifetime 💙😊

There’s nothing better than seeing our children arrive at nursery with the biggest smiles on their faces! 🥰

From those very first days as tiny babies, watching them grow into confident toddlers, and then seeing them become independent, curious preschoolers ready for their next adventure — every stage is so special. 🌱✨

We love seeing the excitement on their faces when they walk through our doors, ready to play, explore, learn and spend the day with their friends and their nursery family. 🧸🎨🌈

These smiles, giggles and little moments are what make all the hard work so worthwhile. ❤️

At Osmaston Day Nursery, we want every child to feel safe, loved, valued and excited to come to nursery — creating happy memories that they can carry with them for a lifetime. 💙

From their first little steps to their graduation day… what a journey it is! 🎓🥹

✨ Smiles that last a lifetime, memories that last forever. ✨

🌈🎨 Colour Explorers in Our Baby Room! 🎨🌈

Our Baby Room have been busy exploring the world of colours, focusing on one colour at a time! 💛❤️💙

So far, we’ve explored yellow 💛 and red ❤️, and the babies have absolutely loved getting involved!

They have been exploring the room, searching high and low for different objects that match our colour of the week. 🔎👀

It’s been wonderful watching them notice the colours around them and become excited when they find a match!

Some of our little ones even came into nursery dressed in yellow to join in with our colour exploration. 🥰👶💛

Next week it’s BLUE! 💙 We wonder how many blue treasures our little explorers will discover! 🔵👀

We’re loving watching our babies explore, discover and learn through play! 🌟

🦉💚 A Magical Visit with Some Very Special Guests! 🦉

What an amazing day our children had during our visit to the care home! 🥰 We were so excited to meet some very special feathered friends — OWLS! 🦉✨

The children were absolutely fascinated and couldn’t wait to get a closer look. We were so proud of how brave and gentle they were, with some of our children even having the opportunity to hold the owls themselves! 🥹👏

We learned lots of interesting facts about these amazing birds and discovered something that made us all giggle… owls don’t actually say “twit to woo”! 😂🦉 but they do have a bath 🤣

It was such a wonderful experience for the children, creating memories, learning something new and spending time with the residents at the care home. ❤️

A huge thank you to Kiwi House Care Home for inviting us and giving our children such a wonderful opportunity. We really appreciate your kindness and hospitality and had the most fantastic time! 🥰Kiwi House Care Home Derby

A huge well done to all of our little explorers for being so brave! 🌟 We certainly won’t forget our very special owl adventure! 🦉💫

👮🚓 People Who Help Us – A Special Visit from the Police! 🚓👮

As part of our People Who Help Us topic, we were delighted to welcome a police officer into our nursery today! 💙

The children were so excited to learn all about the important role the police play in keeping us safe and helping our community.

They listened carefully, asked lots of fantastic questions and loved finding out about the police uniform, equipment and how officers help people every day.

Experiences like these bring learning to life, helping children to build confidence, develop their understanding of the world around them and learn about the people they can trust if they ever need help.

A huge thank you to our wonderful police officer for taking the time to visit us and inspire our children. We had an amazing day and learned so much! 👮✨
