We can't wait to welcome Georgia into the hive.. ๐
Watching our eggs hatch into beautiful, fluffy chicks has been such a magical experience for everyone at nursery. ๐ฃ๐
Our toddlers have loved nurturing the eggs from the very beginning and seeing, first-hand, the incredible life cycle of a chick. From patiently waiting for the first cracks in the shells to meeting our fluffy new arrivals, it has been an unforgettable learning journey for both the children and our staff.
A huge thank you to one of our wonderful nursery mums, who supported Daisy with expert advice on caring for the eggs and chicks. She even showed Daisy how to gently help a chick hatch if it became too tired to peck its way out on its own. We are so grateful for all of her guidance and for Daisyโs dedication throughout this special experience.
Now our little chicks have returned home to the farm, where theyโll continue to grow and enjoy a happy life. Weโll miss them, but weโre so thankful to have shared such a memorable and educational adventure togetherโฆ.๐ฅ๐พ๐
What a fantastic afternoon we had celebrating our preschool children! โ๏ธ๐
There was dancing, bubbles, crown making, lots of laughter and plenty of fun with friends โ the perfect way to end the summer term togetherโฆ
While some of our preschoolers will be back with us over the summer before starting school in September, it was lovely to take a moment to celebrate this special milestone. Itโs been a real privilege to watch them grow in confidence, make friendships and become the amazing little people they are todayโฆ
We know theyโre going to do brilliantly in their next adventure, and weโre looking forward to making even more memories with many of them before they head off to schoolโฆ.๐ฅฐโ๏ธ๐ฟ๐๐

From garden to table ๐ฅ๐ฑ
Our outdoor toddlers harvested fresh courgettes from the veg plot too, they carefully chopped them up, and cooked them together to try. Exploring where food comes from and tasting something theyโve grown themselves is such a rewarding experience and many were surprised by how much they enjoyed trying something new! ๐

From seed to salad ๐ฅ๐ฑ
Daisyโs potatoes were finally ready to harvest from our veg plot! The toddlers loved digging them up before taking them inside to make their own delicious potato salad. A wonderful way to learn where food comes from while enjoying the fruits (or vegetables!) of their hard workโฆ๐

๐ Dig, Dig, Digger! ๐
Our outside toddlers have been inspired by the story Dig, Dig, Digger. Their interest in construction led to a week packed with exciting, child-led learning experiences both indoors and outdoors.
Through digging, building, transporting, and creating, the children explored how construction vehicles and tools work while developing their communication and language, problem-solving, and teamwork skills. They worked together to design and build a marble run, strengthening their ability to collaborate and think creatively. The children also used construction vehicles for mark making and, inspired by the story, created their own large-scale construction artwork, expressing their creativity through a range of exciting, hands-on experiences.
Following the childrenโs interests helps create meaningful learning experiences, encouraging curiosity, confidence, and a love of exploration through play.
Take a look at all the fantastic things theyโve been getting up! ๐ง๐ท๐๐งฑ๐

Last week our babies had so much fun at the shoe shop! ๐ฃ๐
We had our little feet measured, tried on lots of different shoes, drew around our feet and even measured our friendsโ feet too!
Our trip supported lots of EYFS learning, including maths through measuring and comparing sizes, communication and language through chatting about what we were doing, and understanding the world as we learned about why we wear different shoes. It was a lovely morning full of exploring, learning and smiles! ๐โ๏ธ๐ฟ๐
