A Learning Space Full Of Possibilities ✨

Children learn best when they have an environment that gives them the freedom to choose, explore and follow their interests.

At Stoneygate, inviting areas for books, imaginative play, creative activities and hands-on discovery give children a variety of ways to engage throughout their nursery day. Carefully arranged resources also encourage children to make choices, develop independence and become confident learners. 📚

More regular attendance gives your child even more opportunities to enjoy the full range of experiences available, while building familiarity with their environment, routines and friendships throughout the week.

The children have shown so much interest in dinosaurs and volcanoes that we decided to make a volcano ourselves!
We have used many recycled items that we could reuse and the children were super engaged in this activity, every step of the way! They kept asking “how are we going to make a volcano?”, “what’s this for?”, “how is this going to be a volcano from this?”. So many curious questions!
(Slide over for more information about our fun!)

We used a glue mixture to apply pieces of paper to our structure and the children didn’t mind getting messy at all! It’s quite the opposite, they actually asked if they can do it themselves and get their hands messy! 😆 they have learned how and why we put pieces of paper in the glue mixture. Once the structure has dried, the children rushed over to it to touch it to find out if it’s still soft or if it has hardened, also if it’s smooth or rough! We then painted our volcano!

We sealed it with a few layers of PVA glue and once it dried, we added some bicarbonate of soda.

And more

And more

And more!

And some more!

And a little extra for good measure!

We then added red food colouring and squirted lots of lemon juice to make it fizz!
Our volcano exploded and the children gasped in awe and giggled in excitement!
We have learned lots of new things during the whole process of making the volcano, including new words such as lava, magma, eruption and so much more!

Bricks in playdough, mark making on giant paper, and fishing letters out with tweezers! So much fun!

Learning Comes To Life Outdoors 🌿

Some of the best learning happens when children can get hands on, ask questions and explore ideas together.

This outdoor activity gives little learners the chance to investigate familiar everyday materials while sharing the experience with friends and a supportive member of the team. Experiences like these can encourage curiosity, communication and confidence, all while making learning feel meaningful and enjoyable. ♻️

With more regular attendance, children have even more opportunities to take part in the varied experiences that make up nursery life, helping learning, friendships and familiar routines develop naturally over time.

We have recently been on a trip to our local supermarket where they have a book collection for children who might need them. Our preschoolers were excited to give some books; it’s great to give something back to our community! Children said that it was a very kind thing for us to do 🥹
Whilst there, we all grabbed something for our afternoon snack!
Our chef kindly cooked corn on the cob that we bought so we could eat it with our yummy lunch. It was so juicy and delicious!
We then got read to cut up our snack and make our own tea afterwards! The children were very excited and they have been looking forward to making their own tea all day! Some children said that it was a very special day for them. It was indeed! 🥰

Pre-schoolers had a great opportunity to use a hand held saw closely supervised by our specialist forest school teacher to cut off pieces of wood to craft their own log dog! The children became very creative with these as they made unicorns, tigers, dogs, t-Rex and a shark! We used some twine and pens to add features to our log pets where children showed lots of great ideas! Great work pre-school!

Stories That Bring Little Learners Together 📚

Shared story time gives children a calm and engaging way to enjoy language, imagination and time together.

Our Stoneygate toddler spaces include cosy areas where children can settle in with books, listen to familiar stories and share these moments with their friends and practitioners. These everyday experiences can support early communication, listening skills and a growing love of stories. 💛

Regular attendance also means more opportunities to enjoy these familiar group moments, helping children build confidence, strengthen relationships and feel part of their nursery community.

The children’s imagination takes them to wonderful imaginative worlds 🗺️ and dressing up clothes enable us to do just that. What’s your child’s favourite pretend play?

Under the sea 🌊 🎶 🧜 we loved to learn all about sharks and ocean creatures during a world shark awareness day! The children looked through a fact book about sharks, read stories about fish and other sea creatures, and have drawn their favourite sea animals!
