St Augustine's Nursery

Little bakers love to get creative with cooking! The children have had a blast with messy play in the kitchen, baking friendly gingerbread men! They have used their creativity, fine motor skills, and hand eye coordination in this engaging sensory activity that is playful but also builds useful skills in the kitchen.

We’d love to have you join us at our family friendly Christmas fundraiser event! Entry is free and there will be festive games, crafts, food, activities and fun for the whole family. We hope to see you there!

🎨🐻 Our nursery little ones had the best time today getting crafty with Pudsey Bear! From colourful collages to tiny painted pawprints, their creativity was shining just as brightly as their smiles. Supporting a great cause while having fun? The perfect combo. 💛✨

🎨✨ Making fireworks with paint! When nursery-aged children explore paint, mud, or water, they’re not just making a mess — they’re building imagination, problem-solving skills, and confidence. 🌈 Hands-on play helps little ones express ideas, experiment freely, and discover that mistakes can lead to amazing new creations! 💡

The children had so much fun exploring domino play! 🎉
They worked together to build lines, sort by patterns, and carefully balance each piece. Not only did they enjoy the challenge, but they also practiced problem-solving, turn-taking, and fine motor skills. 🌟

We love seeing their confidence grow as they learn through play! 💛

🍂 Autumn Fun at Nursery! 🎃

The children had a wonderfully messy and creative time carving pumpkins! They explored the shapes, patterns, and textures of the pumpkin inside and out — lots of giggles and curious faces as we scooped out the seeds together.

Activities like pumpkin carving help build fine motor skills, encourage sensory exploration, and spark imagination as the children decide how their pumpkins should look. Some were spooky, some were silly, and all were full of personality!

We love celebrating the changing seasons and creating memories together 🍁✨

Parent praise for the nursery! ⭐️

“The staff are loving and caring with all the children, providing a safe environment where children thrive and bond together.”

We love being able to create an environment where children are uniquely cared for and able to thrive.

🍂✨ Autumn magic in the making! Our little artists have been busy collecting colourful leaves and turning them into beautiful painted masterpieces. Using nature’s treasures, we explored textures, colours, and creativity — and had lots of fun along the way! 🎨🍁

🌿✨ Balance play isn’t just fun — it’s powerful learning! ✨🌿

When children explore balance beams, stepping stones, or wobble boards, they’re building:
⚖️ Core strength
🧠 Focus & coordination
💪 Confidence in movement
💡 Problem-solving skills

Every little wobble helps them grow stronger, braver, and ready for new adventures! 💚

🚲 Riding a tricycle isn’t just fun – it’s fantastic for building balance, coordination, and strength! Trike time helps children develop gross motor skills, boosts confidence, and encourages independence while they play. 🌟💪

What are some of our families saying about the nursery?
