Thank you to everyone who took part, it was lovely to see all of the fabulous creations! 🫶🏼
The winners will be announced on Famly! ✨

It’s that time of year again when mini eggs are lining the supermarket shelves. But, did you know that, just like grapes, they are the perfect size to block a small child’s airway and choke them? And, their hard shell can make it difficult to dislodge with standard first aid techniques.

With whole grapes we advise cutting them in half lengthways and ideally into quarters to create thin strips. But chopping up mini eggs isn’t as easy. So, what can you do?

1. Hide them from the children and eat them yourself – good luck with that!

2. Break them into small pieces with a rolling pin. Or, crush them in a pestle and mortar. Or melt them a little first.

3. Opt for a different treat. Larger, hollow eggs are much safer for little ones.

For more practical tips and advice to keep children safe from choking take a look at our guide: https://capt.org.uk/resources/choking-fact-sheet/

✨National Apprentice Week✨

🌱 From Apprentice to Manager 🌱
Did you know that most of our managers at The Granary started their journey as apprentices?
That’s right — apprenticeships here don’t just lead to jobs… they lead to real careers. 💼✨
Our Leadership Team truly understands Early Years inside out because they’ve grown through the sector themselves. They’ve been in the rooms, supported the children, worked with families, and developed their skills step by step — just like many of our team members today.
Here’s what Julie, one of our management team, has to say:
💬 “Starting as an apprentice gave me the confidence and experience to grow in my career. I was supported every step of the way, and now I’m proud to help lead and inspire the next generation of Early Years professionals.”
We’re so proud of the journeys our team members take — and the futures they build with us. 💚

✨National Apprentice Week ✨

Remember your first day? 😬 The nerves, the excitement, the unknown…
From first-day nerves to confident practitioner 🚀
Three apprentices tell their stories in their own words 🎥🗣️

Meet Sarah! 💛
Sarah works in our baby room, where she loves helping our older babies grow in confidence and independence as they get ready for the exciting move to the toddler room 🚼➡️👣
We’re so lucky to have Sarah as part of our team, and she’s been with us since September 2025 🌟

🌟 National Apprenticeship Week 🌟

This week at The Granary we’re proud to celebrate National Apprenticeship Week and the important role apprentices play in early years education.

All week long, we will be showing our appreciation for our apprentices and the amazing work they do every day. We’re delighted to introduce our wonderful apprentices: Millie, Sammy, Caz, Romana👏

Each of our apprentices brings enthusiasm, kindness, and a genuine passion for supporting children’s learning and development at The Granary. Through their apprenticeships, they are gaining valuable skills and confidence while making a real difference to our children and families. ✨

We are incredibly proud to support and nurture our apprentices as they grow in their early years careers and help shape the future of childcare 🌈

Thank you for all that you do at The Granary Day Nursery! ❤️
