The Enchanted Tree Nursery

If you're currently looking for a nursery for your child, we'd love to welcome you along to our open day on 22nd July, where you'll have a chance to look around the nursery and speak with a member of our team! 💚🌳

We are proud to be joining road safety charity Brake in taking part in their Beep Beep! Day, with the aim of teaching our children important road safety basics.

New research has highlighted the shocking extent of child casualties on roads in the UK, with 10 children aged 7 and under being killed or seriously injured on our roads every week.

It is crucial to teach children the importance of holding hands with grown ups when walking near roads; crossing roads at safe places with a grown up; and using a child seat when travelling by car.

Let's all work together to keep our little ones safe! 🚗

🏀A huge THANK YOU to all at Caledonia Gladiators Pro Basketball who invited our children and their families along to cheer them on at last night's game against Surrey Scorchers. It was an evening enjoyed by all, and a fantastic result! 🏀

Thanks to David Linden MP, who visited the nursery recently and spent time reading and singing with the children ⭐️🌳

Nature building! 🌱

Last week, some of our Little Stars participated in an outdoor activity that encouraged them to use their imagination and creativity skills.

They worked as a team to collect lots of natural materials from around the park, such as sticks, leaves, stones, and pinecones, then used play dough as cement to stick the materials together and create some impressive structures! ⭐️🌿🌳

We hope that everyone had fun celebrating St Patrick's Day last week! Here's a look at the themed Tuff Trays which our children enjoyed exploring ☘️☘️

A huge thank you to the staff team and the Primary 7 boys and girls at St Francis of Assisi Primary School for inviting some of our preschoolers to participate in their STEM week activities. The children received a lovely welcome and really enjoyed the activities!

Meet our new nursery pet Caterpillars 🐛💚

As we discussed life-cycles during our recent eco drama classes, we decided to get our own Caterpillars to look after in nursery and watch them grow into Painted Lady butterflies.

The children are excited to explore and discuss each of the stages of metamorphosis, developing their knowledge of the butterfly life cycle.

Once the Caterpillars are ready to come out of their cocoons we will transport them into their hatching habitat and allow them to come out into the net. We will keep the butterflies for a few days and feed them nectar and fruit until we release them forever. 🦋❤️

Use this ‘feelings chart’ with your child to help them understand the emotion they are feeling 🤩

Having fun in the jungle 🦧🐵🐯🐘🦁🐆💚

Our story corner turned into a jungle over night! The children have been exploring the different animals and have been enjoying singing nursery rhymes around the campfire and learning our ‘Down in the Jungle’ song. The children engaged in role play throughout and had fun making different animal sounds.

We discussed what carnivores and herbivores are and identified which animals eat meat and which ones eat plants. Lots of fun 💫💚

🏃‍♀️👟🚴‍♀️⚽️ STAYING ACTIVE ⚽️🚴👟🏃‍♂️

“I can choose to have an active life and participate in a range of recreational, social, creative, physical, and learning activities every day, both indoors and outdoors”

(Health & Social Care Standard 1.25)

Early years is a crucially important time to encourage children to develop an enjoyment and interest in physical activity which will last into their adult years. Being physically active supports children to learn about themselves and the world around them and helps them to develop healthy bodies and minds, as well as personal and social skills.

That’s why the team at ETN are so passionate about providing children with a wide range of physical activities to participate in on a daily basis, such as Play on Pedals 🚴‍♂️, the daily mile 🚶, adventurous play 🧗, dance 💃, sport classes 🧘‍♀️, and dough discos 🕺.

We have attached some infographics from the UK Chief Medical Officers’ Physical Activity Guidelines, which demonstrate the types of activities and the duration that children should be involved in across their day.

It’s important your child has all of the vaccines offered to them as they protect against different types of diseases. For more information on your child’s vaccinations visit nhsinform.scot/immunisingyourchild

Here are a few of our children from each room modelling our new aprons and chef hats they now wear when helping to prepare their own snack 👩‍🍳🧑‍🍳👨🏽‍🍳👩🏾‍🍳🍌🍊🍎🍓🥒🍉

Transient art under the trees 🌳💚

Recently, the children had fun using a variety of loose parts when getting creative with their transient art. It allows children to explore pattern, shape, space, colours, and textures. It is moveable art and allows the children to use their imagination and be creative 💫👏🏼💚

***Children in Need 2022***

Last month, our team and children had fun participating in lots of Pudsey-related events in aid of Children in Need, including Odd Socks Day, Pyjama Day, Crazy Hair Day & Spotty Day!

The children took part in a variety of activities, such as scavenger hunts, biscuit decorating, and arts and crafts, which provided them with lots of learning opportunities!

Throughout the week, the children discussed why we raise money for Children in Need, and the importance of doing so.

Thanks to the generosity of our wonderful families, we managed to raise a grand total of £250 for this fantastic charity, and here are some photographs of the fun that we had along the way!

We are all very excited for Halloween with our Room on the Broom tuff tray 🧙‍♀️🎃❤️

This morning we had fun reading the story ‘Room on the broom’. After doing so the children had fun using their creativity and imagination to make a potion. The children worked as a team and understood turn taking 🎃💫🧙‍♀️❤️
