Summer 1 2026

This half term was filled with joy and some sadness as we prepared to say goodbye to those children starting primary school in September.

The children immersed themselves into our topic of Pirates and the Seaside. They searched for treasure, counted loot, made flags and maps and patterns with shells. We even had a pirates and princess day! During the last week we brought the seaside to nursery and made good use of the lovely weather with a large pool and our own “beach”.

Before we knew it Sports Day had been and gone and it was time for the Rainbows Graduation ceremony! With the end of the summer holidays approaching, the staff at Wellingtons would like to say goodbye and good luck to you all in your new schools- We will miss you all!

What a lovely couple of days at Wellingtons Forest School Summer!

We have had so much fun exploring the woods, building bug houses, creating nature pictures, playing on the tyre swing, climbing trees, and enjoying a picnic in the forest.

The children took part in team-building games, including guiding each other while blindfolded, and learnt all about fire safety and how to safely build a fire before toasting marshmallows over the campfire.
We also enjoyed a lovely woodland walk, racing each other along the way and spotting shapes and patterns in the clouds.

We have had lots of fun and can’t wait for our next few days at Forest School in two weeks time! 😁

September places are filling up fast, and we are running out of days to show prospective parents around nursery. With this is mind we have uploaded a video onto our website, which gives parents a chance to look around the nursery virtually. Please click on the link below to have a look around.

This video aims to give you a snapshot of our setting. It is aimed at prospective parents who are thinking about sending their child to us, or can be shown to children who are starting nursery soon so that parents can talk to their children about what to expect when they start with us.Our nursery.mp...

Summer 1 2026
During this half term children explored the topic Superhero! We made our own Supertato’s in nursery with Mr Potato Heads and then with actual potatoes, with our families at stay and play. We talked about real superheroes such as doctors and fire fighters. Later in the term someone stole Fiona’s lunch! The children followed the clues to find the culprit- The police were invited in to help us solve the case! They spoke to the children about their important role in helping people and keeping us safe. The children loved learning all about what police officers do and were very excited to try on some uniform and hear the siren in the police car! We took delivery of some Living Eggs this half term and the children watched in awe as they hatched and grew strong bigger and stronger! We continued to explore our living world and re-visited chapes and patterns, looking for them outside in the natural environment!
