At this time, when schools are no longer able to play such a central role in protecting children and young people, the role of communities is even more important. Please keep your eyes and ears open for children at risk from abuse or neglect https://crowd.in/W9N4UY

Grace has taken the lead on developing our story area this month. You will see lots of changes to the environment from Grace’s consultation with the children. Today she developed her story shelves, such a lovely invitation to play ❤️

Yesterday one of the children thought he found a dinosaur egg in the garden. So today we went back to see if we could find it again. The children wanted to make a nest for the egg, and we had lots of discussions about what kind of dinosaur it would be. "A big big blue one" "a pterodactyl" "I think a velociraptor!". One of the children discovered a bit of broken egg.

Busy building our own private island 🌴 at nursery today! Where are you going this weekend.......?

It’s Friday! It’s gloop time!
