Glover House Nursery - A Toad Hall Day Nursery in Hitchin

✨ Welcome to the team, Jade! ✨

We are excited to welcome Jade to the team as the new Room Leader in Owls! 🦉

Jade holds a Level 3 qualification in childcare and brings with her several years of experience in early years education. She is passionate about supporting children as they grow, learn and reach new milestones every day. 💛

One of Jade’s favourite things about working in a nursery is building strong bonds with the children and watching their confidence flourish through play and exploration.

Outside of work, Jade is a huge Disney fan and enjoys spending quality time with her family. 👨‍👩‍👦

We can’t wait to see all of Jade’s wonderful ideas brought to life within the room. 🌈

International Dance Day 💃

Last week Hedgehogs🦔 celebrated international Dance Day💃 by having an amazing Dance party🎉 They listened to music from around the world🌎 and waved sensory scarves and explored new ways to move their bodies. The children loved exploring the fish lava lamp🐠 and bubble machine🫧

The weather☀️ has been so lovely recently we decided to cool off in the garden with a little bit of water play💧 The children loved splashing about and developing their gross motor skills using the cups to tip, pour and transfer the water🤽‍♀️

Top tips for staying safe in the sun
🌞Lots of play in the shade (always check the uv levels) 🌤
🌞Top up your suncream regularly ⛱️
🌞 Wear protective clothing 👒
🌞 Stay hydrated💧

The children have loved exploring the new resources and now have an excellent space to relax and regulate their emotions.

In light of recent cases, a gentle reminder to know the signs of meningitis.

While rare, it can become serious quickly—especially in young children. Look out for symptoms like a high temperature, unusual drowsiness, vomiting, sensitivity to light, a stiff neck, or a rash that doesn’t fade when pressed.

If you’re concerned, trust your instincts and seek medical advice.🧑‍⚕️
