Bodhi Tree Nursery

🥗 What have we been eating lately at Bodhi Tree Nursery? 🍲✨

Our days have been filled with warm, nourishing meals made to support growing bodies and busy little minds 🌱

From wholesome grains and colourful vegetables to homemade pasta dishes, comforting soups, fresh fruit, and healthy snacks, mealtimes are an important part of our day.

We believe food is about so much more than eating — it’s a time for connection, independence, conversation, and exploring new tastes together.

Sharing meals helps children build healthy habits, confidence, and a positive relationship with food from an early age 💛

✨ Open Day | 25 February ✨

Join us to see how our children develop language, confidence, and independence through hands-on learning, storytelling, and purposeful play. Rooted in the Montessori approach, we create a calm, nurturing environment where children learn at their own pace and build real-life skills every day.

This term we have been diving into the magical world of Julia Donaldson 📚✨

This week the children are exploring Monkey Puzzle, matching our animal figures to the story was definitely the highlight.

Through storytelling and small-world play, they are building:
🗣️ language
🧠 memory
🔍 observation skills
💛 empathy

Stories come to life when little hands can hold the characters.

We have an Open Day scheduled after half term — come and see how we bring stories to life every day. Get in touch to book your visit 💫

🌿 From Shelf to Table: The Montessori Cycle in Action!

At Bodhi Tree, children experience learning as a complete, purposeful journey. They choose an activity from the shelf, work independently or with a friend, and then bring their finished work to the table — whether it’s a snack, a craft, or a practical life task. 🍽️✨

This cycle fosters independence, concentration, responsibility, and pride in their accomplishments. Every step — from choosing, exploring, and completing the task — helps build confidence and a love for learning that lasts a lifetime. 💛

🐾 Welcome to the Bodhi Tree Vet Shop! 🩺

Our 4 years olds transformed their classroom into a busy veterinary clinic, caring for their furry friends with love and imagination. Through role play, children practiced language, empathy, cooperation, and problem-solving — all while having so much fun! 🐶🐱

They took turns being vets, pet owners, and receptionists, using tools and special vocabulary to bring their learning to life. These kinds of activities help develop social skills, communication, and confidence — key foundations for lifelong learning. 🌿✨

🎨 A curious ceramic adventure! ✨

Our children loved following the Family Trail at the V&A Museum — discovering colours, textures, smelling roses and finding shapes hidden in the world of ceramics. 🏺🌈

Exploring art together outside the nursery helps children see creativity everywhere and strengthens the wonderful school learning we value so much. 💚

🌍 Now that our children are happily settled into the new year, we’ve started welcoming parents into circle time to share a little piece of their world with us. 💚

From hobbies and jobs to stories and special foods, these visits help children connect learning with real experiences. This week, as we continue our journey through Europe, we explored aivar from Macedonia 🇲🇰 — and even attempted learning how to count from 1 to 10 in Macedonian! ✨

Thank you to our wonderful parents for helping us make learning so rich and meaningful. 🌿
