Back To The Garden Childcare Lymm

S C H O O L • R E A D I N E S S 🌟 🎥 We’ve created this video for our nursery parents and social Back to the Garden Family! Lucy, our new Deputy Manager and early years teacher, delves into the true essence of school readiness. At BTTGC, we’re passionate about nurturing every aspect of child development during these crucial early years. Our curriculum, aligned with the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), supports children holistically, ensuring they are emotionally, socially, and cognitively prepared for this exciting transition. Here's how we support your child's journey to school readiness: • Emotional Well-being: Building confidence and resilience through positive interactions and experiences. • Social Skills: Encouraging cooperative play and communication to foster strong peer relationships. • Cognitive Development: Integrating fun, engaging activities that promote curiosity and critical thinking. • Reading & Writing: Providing a solid foundation in literacy through playful and meaningful learning experiences. Let us know what you think and get in touch if you have any questions. 🌱

A T E L I E R • 🎨Awe and Wonder✨

Here’s our tour of the Atelier, part 2. In this part we discuss the objects and materials that help to create Awe and Wonder opportunities within the child. (We highly recommend heading back to Part 1 if you haven’t seen it yet.)

Watch all the way to the end to hear why Alex feels it’s everyones favourite room in the nursery.

We have Atelier’s in both our settings and professional artists who manage the spaces. We place such value in the importance of the environment as the third teacher and the incredible creatives who work with us. Art and education should always go hand in hand. Art is a key part of learning in early years and beyond.
�Would you feel creativity and inspired in this space? What objects create awe and wonder in you? What objects have you noticed create awe and wonder in children?

A T E L I E R • 🎨 would this inspire your creativity? ✨

Let us show you how we nurture and celebrate early years artists with professional artist teachers (Atelierista’s) in our very own art studio (Atelier).

Creativity is fundamental in early learning and it is part of our holistic trilogy to nurture the ‘whole child’. Every aspect of our little one’s learning and self-expression is supported through our philosophy.

The Atelier is the most incredible, creative space where ideas can run wild and ‘the environment’ really is the third teacher. The work that’s created gets displayed throughout the nursery so children feel a sense of pride. Alex, our deputy is guiding us around the space in this reel look out for Part 2 where we explore ‘Awe and Wonder’.

Do you feel inspired by this space? Would you love to learn in a space like this? All our nurseries have areas where creativity is sacred and where children’s art is valued. It is fundamental in early years education that children can express themselves freely.

Watch our reel where Alex, our deputy manager at Lymm talks us through the space, on Instagram 👉 https://www.instagram.com/reel/C4gIWXFItFp/?igsh=MTlpNGlkMmdzN3ExMA==

Empowering children helps to foster independence, which is an important life skill that needs to be nurtured early on.

One of the ways we do this here at nursery is around mealtimes. We involve children in the serving and clearing of meals, each day giving a different child a task. They enjoy taking ownership of their role and they feel valued. It also creates that sense of being a family and taking things in turns so it’s always balanced. You can see the joy in all of their faces.

What a HUGE success World Book Day was.

Across our settings the team and children all dressed up as their favourite characters and there were activities happening in all of the rooms.

We visited Statham Avenue New Care home owned by McGoff Group, who are our co-founders. The children dressed as their favourite characters from books and enjoyed storytime together, celebrating the love of books. 👀👉 https://www.instagram.com/reel/C4OZNaZIzNm/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

🌎♻️In the spirit of Back To the Garden, and sustainability, we want to do something to aid the slow approach and these special days can sometimes contribute to the fast fashion industry and be quite commercial. With that in mind, we are offering to take any costumes your children may have outgrown in order to repurpose them for future events, helping the planet and pockets. We will always welcome homemade and shop bought but we thought it would be fun to bring a rail out each year with preloved costumes.

✨Last week, Lisa, our holistic therapist, led an incredible journey through sensory workshops inspired by the book “Superworm”!

🌿From the cosy sensory room, she transported the children into the magical world of the story. The tuff tray had fresh herbs, inviting little ones to explore scent, texture, and taste, crafting the very habitat of book!

🎣They delicately manoeuvred fishing lines, diving deep into the tale’s adventure and exercising their fine and gross motor skills. And through yoga, they embodied the wriggling wonders of life under the earth, just like our hero!

🦅Lisa believes in the power of movement to foster inner calm and co-regulation. She sparked creativity through visualisation, as the children soared like crows and crawled through tunnels, embracing the essence of the story’s magic!

Cultivating a sense of self-love in children through breathwork, yoga and movement sets them up to feel confident and calm as a foundation for years to come. This is a little insight to the holistic activities that we do at our nurseries.
