Little Leaders Nursery

All the children enjoyed the visit from the mobile farm on Thursday. They got to meet a sheep, goat, duck, turkey, guinea pigs, rabbit, hedgehog, blue tongue skink, a snake, frog, bearded dragon, and a gecko. The children were so brave and gentle.

This March, we received 5 duck eggs. The children watched all 5 hatch and observed them grow into cute, fluffy, funny ducklings. The ducks spent two days in and out of the paddling pool, and the children enjoyed handling them and cuddling them.

This week Christmas has entered Little Leaders nursery. The children have been decorating our trees and getting into the festive spirit.

This week, the children have enjoyed exploring various sensory materials, engaging in mark-making with glitter and flour. They’ve been climbing and enhancing their physical skills in the garden, while the babies have been discovering the home corner and different foods.

Winter Off in our Edgware Nursery!!

Today the children learned about recycling. We have recycling bins for paper in the nursery and the children recycle and then take turns going to the big recycling outside the nursery and tip their paper in there for recycling.

The children are matching scents to photos. They have a selection of scent bottles - strawberry, banana, coconut, vanilla, coffee, mint, orange, lemon, rose that we have made in the nursery.

While covering the scent bottle label, the children will try to guess the scent and match it to a photo card (or real objects).

Last week, the children enjoyed diving into this month's theme of light, sound, and safety. They created their own traffic lights and practised their fine motor skills by cutting play dough. They also made rainbow fish, explored various shapes, and focused on writing their names. They had the opportunity to hold our stick insects and observe them closely. Meanwhile, the babies had fun playing with play dough, engaging with sensory books, and enjoying musical toys.

Today, we resumed our visits to Knights Court care home. The children took the bus to Edgware and were delighted to reconnect with the residents. They spent the morning colouring and chatting together and sharing a drink. Before we departed, the children enjoyed visiting their fish as well.

This week, the children have been busy writing their letters to Santa. They also included stamps and addresses, and took turns visiting the post box to send them off. We're all excited for Santa's upcoming visit!
