Greenglade Day Nursery & Forest School

Greenglade Day Nursery & Forest School We are an independent, family run, Scandinavian inspired Day Nursery located near the centre of Hipperholme, Halifax.

Additionally, we also own a six acre, totally private, Forest School where children can play & learn outdoors in a natural environment. Our normal opening hours are from 7:30 to 18:00 Monday to Friday, fifty-two weeks of the year (except Bank Holidays). The Nursery is covered by a series of webcams, to which parents are also given access. We believe that providing parents with the ability to watch their child at play in Nursery, whilst sat at their office computer or at home, is the ultimate quality assurance system. We are not part of any chain of nurseries or larger company. The Nursery is located near the centre of Hipperholme on Denholme Gate Road, Hipperholme, Halifax. The building was specifically designed and built for its purpose. The Nursery has an extensive, private, exciting and totally secure, out-door play area located to the rear of the property.This cannot be observed by anyone walking or driving past the Nursery. Also, to the rear of the building is a large secure covered balcony area which provides a large additional space for children to play all year round. All the rooms on the ground floor (Baby and Toddler Unit and the Over Twos Unit) open directly on to this area. Great emphasis has been given to safety and security. Access to the building can only be achieved via an intercom system. Parents gain access to the building and the downstairs Units is via a series of biometric finger print recognition system. Parents thinking of using our services are welcome to visit and look around the Nursery whenever they wish and without prior appointment. We always recommend parents to visit a number of Nurseries before finally deciding which one is right for themselves and their child.

At Forest School we learned how to safely pick nettles when foraging for ingredients for the mud kitchen. We learned about new types of plants we haven't seen before and even found some catapillar eggs!

Give children a simple pile of tree logs and their imagination does the restโ€ฆ today, those logs became a car! ๐Ÿš— The children worked together to design and build it, deciding where the seats should go and who would take on each role.
Once their car was ready, they added โ€œpetrol,โ€ climbed aboard, and set off on their adventure. Our driver took their role very seriously, making sure everyone had a seat and that all passengers had their seat belts fastened. It was great to see them remember our morning chat about car safety too, even thinking about rear-facing and forward-facing car seats!

Today at Forest School the children discovered a baby bird that had just left its nest. They observed it carefully and showed such kindness and curiosity.
The children went off to find worms and then worked together to set up a bird bath, helping to make the space safe and welcoming. ๐Ÿ’ง๐Ÿชฑ
The children also had a lovely discussion about what type of bird it might be....Do you know? ๐Ÿ’š

Last week, the children enjoyed a trip on the Polar Express in their pyjamas! ๐Ÿš…

They queued patiently to have their golden tickets stamped ๐ŸŽซ and took part in lots of different train themed activities! The children also loved reading the Polar Express book. ๐Ÿ“–

The children decorated some biscuits to eat and then made some hot chocolate to go with themโ˜•

They then enjoyed playing lots of different party games!

We hope all the children have a lovely Christmas. ๐ŸŽ„
