Shooting Stars Preschool New preschool opened in January 2024 providing new and exciting learning experiences to all children We are open Monday- Friday 8-3. Becky # # #

Hi my name is Becky, and I run the newly established Shooting stars preschool, based in leigh park. I have over 15 years experience within the childcare sector. I have a level 3 in childcare, as well as all relevant high level safeguarding, first aid, SENCO etc training. I also provide lunches, daily trips and weekly educational outings. Fees vary depending on the hours and type of care you require. My age range is between 4months old to 5year olds. All government funding is accepted, as well as the tax free childcare scheme. As working mother myself I fully understand it isn’t always an easy choice, but I hope I can make the transition as easy as possible for both parent and child. I have a passion in teaching children, and enjoy seeing the progress they make whilst in my care. Please contact me for further information.

We have had a great week continuing learning about healthy eating. We have tried new fruits, with melon now becoming a close favourite. The children loved creating different fruit stamps, discussing the different shapes they can make with each fruit. We used our fine motor skills threading fruit treats, counting how many we thought the right portion would be (with some children taste testing as they counted 🤣).
Next week we will be continuing the theme, introducing the effects healthy eating has on our bodies, especially our teeth.

This week we are focusing on healthy eating. We have been discussing the children’s favourite foods and deciding if they are healthy or not so healthy. The children have loved creating apple stamps, searching for hidden fruit in the tuff tray and connecting the correct puzzles together to find a healthy or unhealthy snack.
For snack today the children tried some different fruit, with a firm favourite being peach!

Please also see the attached ‘healthy lunch box’ poster, please do continue to use this as a guide to ensure your child has a nutritious and health lunch each day. Polite reminder for lunches As always we do not allow, chocolate, sweets, fizzy/juice drinks and nuts.

Over the last few days our little stars have had great fun building on their gross motor skills. They have enjoyed joining in with our obstacle course, jumping, climbing and balancing, with some of the older children helping their younger friends.
We enjoyed some sensory play using oats and water, the children loved the feeling, describing the texture as ‘wet,sticky and cold’.
With the weather looking to be very wet next week please ensure your child attends with appropriate clothing for the weather as we will still access the garden through out the day.

Huge thank you to all parents who have been bringing in a named pot for your child’s cooking, this has really helped us keep your child’s masterpiece fresh and safe for home time.

Today we have great fun matching shapes and numbers in the correct puzzle places, the children got very excited and shared their achievements with the adults. In the garden we explored our surroundings, talking about the changes we could see as we go into autumn.
For cooking we made yummy healthy bagels, we spoke about our favourite toppings, with some children trying their masterpieces before we could send them home 😂. Polite reminder, on our cooking days please provide your child with a named container, this helps us send their cooking home safely.

Over the last few days we have had lots of fun in the garden.
We have been exploring different ways of moving by using our bodies, tools and equipment. 🌟
Our stars have showed amazing perseverance by challenging themselves on obstacle courses, balancing beams and the climbing frame.
We have been giving our friends a helping hand too. ❤️
Inside we have made some beautiful sticky pictures, and have been busy constructing towers, houses and models using bricks, blocks and magnetic tiles.
Well done everybody.🌟
We hope you have a lovely weekend and look forward to seeing you all next week.

A huge ‘welcome back’ to all of our stars , and it was lovely to meet some new faces too. ❤️
The children have done amazingly well at settling back in, and have really enjoyed exploring their surroundings.

In the garden the children showed great team work by throwing frisbees to their friends, and getting creative with the chalks in the tuff tray.
