The Old Station Nursery Dover

🐖🐄🐎

This week in the baby room the children have shown lots of interest in farm animals. To extend their learning further, the children used their fine motor skills and gross motor skills to paint with the farm animals. To help develop their speech and language we also spoke about the names of the animals and the sounds they make.

A fresh new look✨
Choochoos Day Nursery Dover is Beginning a New Chapter as The Old Station Nursery Dover

While the nursery's name and appearance have changed, the things that matter most haven't. Children and families will continue to be supported by the same caring team, with the same commitment to high-quality early years education in a refreshed and inspiring environment.

Happy Graduation!
The children had a lovely time celebrating their early years journey with a party, games, lunch and a graduation ceremony. Families joined the children to watch the graduation and listened to the children share their aspirations for the future!

Good luck to all of the school leavers!
