Busy Bees Nursery and Pre-school

🐛 🦋 What a magical moment! 🦋🐛

A huge thank you to Daisy for capturing this incredible butterfly transition. It was such a special experience for both the children and staff to witness, inspiring awe, curiosity and lots of excited conversations.

Sometimes the simplest moments in nature create the biggest memories...💛

Our Forest School sessions are now up and running, and what a fantastic start we’ve had! 🌳🍃☀️🐝

The children have been busy exploring the woodland environment while learning all about the important rules that help keep everyone safe. So far, they have been learning about forest safety, road safety, and fire safety, developing valuable skills and knowledge through hands-on experiences…

One of the highlights has been the opportunity for the children to cook their own lunch over the fire. This was a really exciting experience, and they thoroughly enjoyed taking part while learning new skills, building confidence, and working together…

We are looking forward to many more adventures, discoveries, and opportunities for learning in the great outdoors throughout the year! 🔥🌿😊

Our garden is looking absolutely blooming lovely again this year! 🌸🌿🌼

A huge thank you to the Old Railway Line Garden Centre for their incredible generosity once again in supporting our garden with their donation. Their kindness helps make projects like this possible year after year…

Everyone has been hard at work nurturing seeds, watering, weeding, and caring for the plants, and all that dedication has certainly paid off. The garden is now bursting with colour and life, and it looks truly incredible…

Thank you to our lovely children and busy bees ladies who have contributed their time, care, and enthusiasm. We are so proud of what has been achieved together and can’t wait to enjoy the garden throughout the season! 🌻💚☀️🌸🍃🪏

Over the last few weeks, the children at preschool have been fascinated watching the crops and grass growing in the fields nearby. We have enjoyed observing all the changes in nature and talking about how farmers care for the land…

Today was especially exciting as we watched the farmers busy cutting the grass and wrapping the bales ready for storage. The children were full of curiosity and loved seeing the large machinery hard at work!

We were also very lucky to spot Mr Tom the Red Kite soaring above the fields, keeping a close eye on all the activity and helping the farmers in his own special way. A wonderful real-life learning experience for the children and a lovely chance to explore the world around us together…❤️🚜🍃☀️

Mike brought in his beekeeper suit and smoker for the children to explore during our bee-themed learning. The children and Robyn had lots of fun trying on the protective suits and learning about the important role beekeepers have in caring for bees. They were very interested in the smoker and learnt how it is used safely to help calm the bees…

The children also enjoyed learning lots of interesting facts about bees, including how bees make honey and help flowers to grow. The activity encouraged curiosity, listening, and lots of discussion between the children as they shared what they already knew and asked questions. Ask your child about the bee facts they can remember! 🐝🍯🍃☀️🥰
