Alvaston Achievers

We’ve had some fantastic well being days taking place this week at Alvaston Achievers🌈

To kick start the fun we had Aimee to teach us a range of Circus skills🎪🎩

All the children and staff took part in the workshop and learnt some impressive skills and techniques, watching their confidence grow each time supporting each other beautifully 🤹‍♀️

We also talked about the importance of healthy eating and staying active and believing that we can achieve anything we set our minds to 🌟🤸🏼‍♂️

What a Joyful day of team work determination and fun for all 🌟

What a colourful afternoon we’ve had creating our unique designs throughout the day 🧦

Our Tie-dying socks is the perfect craft at Alvaston Achievers that blends artistry, science, and fun 🫟

Seeing the children hang their designs to dry with such a proud feeling was incredible adding a vibrant atmosphere within the garden area at Alvaston Achievers 🧦🫟

Tie-dying is also an excellent way to engage their imaginations and teach them about colours and patterns plus, the end result is a wardrobe full of unique and vibrant socks and creating unforgettable experiences for all 🌈

Please remember it’s our stay and play session tomorrow for our new starters for September 🌈

Don’t hesitate to give us a call if you need to book last minute 📞

Hope your all as excited as we are 🌟

🦄The unicorn ponies came to Nursery today 🦄

Pony rides are rarely just a simple lap around our nursery garden. They frequently come packed with bonus experiences that foster deep life skills, sensory fun, and core childhood memories 🐴

Hands on experience highlights how early interactions with ponies shape a child's imagination 💭

The "bonus experiences" of grooming, feeding, and bonding are the exact building blocks that turn a temporary childhood dream into a lifelong love for animals, discipline, and responsibility 🌈

Visits to Alvaston Achievers brings beneficial activities Hands-on Grooming.
Children learn to use dandy brushes, stroke the ponies, and use core muscles whilst riding the unicorn ponies 🦄

This builds fine motor skills and tactile confidence ✍🏻

We offer experiences whilst attending Alvaston Achievers to help build childhood memories that they may not experience elsewhere 🌈

Does your child go to our before and after school clubs? Or go to a sports or holiday club?

🧊Painting ice cubes at Alvaston Achievers 🧊

Painting on ice builds fine motor skills, teaches colour mixing through melting, and provides soothing sensory input. It’s an open-ended activity that lets children explore science and art at the same time at Alvaston Achievers 🎨

Here are the top benefits of ice painting 🎨

Fine Motor Skills: Grasping a paintbrush or holding a frozen, colorful ice cube strengthens hand and finger muscles. These are the same muscles needed for writing ✍🏻

Sensory Exploration: Feeling the cold, smooth ice helps children explore different textures and temperatures. The cool sensation can also have a calming, soothing effect 🧊

Colour Mixing: As the ice melts, the colours blend and mingle. It is a great way to show how colours change and combine into new shades.

🧊Science Learning: Children learn about the properties of water by watching the ice melt and evaporate. They explore cause and effect by seeing how heat or a sprinkle of table salt changes the speed of the melting ice.

🧊Process-Based Art: Ice painting focuses on the fun of making art rather than the final product. This gives children the freedom to experiment without rules, which builds self-confidence 🌈
