Summerbridge Pre-School

Our topic this half term is ‘Time’ and ‘Our wonderful world’ 🌍 . We spent last week exploring the past and this meant lots of fun with dinosaurs!🦕 We are beginning to understand what makes up our wonderful world, last week we investigated animals and hot countries. The children enjoyed the small world play using touch and exploring animal patterns 😊 more activities to follow.

Our rabbits have some friends today at Summerbridge Preschool. Lois and Mertyl meet Mushroom and Miffy. I think we are going to have lots of excited children (and staff) today!

Pre school can be so much fun! 😊 we have been very busy! Kings, Queens and Castles, Autumn and Winter. More photos to come 😊

🙏I NEED YOUR HELP🙏
One of the pre schools I manage DARLEY PRE SCHOOL is a finalist at the MUMBLER awards. We are ecstatic to have made it to the finals and for our small rural setting to get the recognition it deserves. To have made it this far has meant the world to me and my team. It’s hard when we are so small and to be up against bigger pre schools. If we have played a part in your child’s early years or we took care of you and you’re all grown up, please vote for us! Or if you are happy to support our pre school please vote TONIGHT! Voting closes at midnight!!!

Thank you so so much! # # # 🫶🏻😊

⭐️ CHILD SAFETY WEEK ⭐️

Today marks the start of Child Safety Week 2025 - a chance to focus on the importance of keeping our little ones safe.

The theme this year is all about 'Safety is for Sharing' to help to combat all the misinformation that is out there. Safety week is run by The Child Accident Prevention Trust and they produce lots of free resources including a parent pack for families that covers a wide range of topics.

It’s that time of year again when mini eggs are lining the supermarket shelves. But, did you know that, just like grapes, they are the perfect size to block a small child’s airway and choke them? And, their hard shell can make it difficult to dislodge with standard first aid techniques.

With whole grapes we advise cutting them in half lengthways and ideally into quarters to create thin strips. But chopping up mini eggs isn’t as easy. So, what can you do?

1. Hide them from the children and eat them yourself – good luck with that!

2. Break them into small pieces with a rolling pin. Or, crush them in a pestle and mortar. Or melt them a little first.

3. Opt for a different treat. Larger, hollow eggs are much safer for little ones.
