Doves View Day Nursery

There’s something truly magical about watching our children transform the garden into their very own adventure zone Using their imagination, teamwork, and problem-solving skills, they design and build obstacle courses filled with balance beams, tunnels, stepping stones, and jumping challenges. Not only is this wonderful fun, but it also plays a vital role in their development

supporting gross motor skills, coordination, resilience, and confidence as they navigate each new challenge.

We love seeing the children encourage one another, take safe risks, and celebrate their achievements together. Here, learning is always led through play, and moments like these perfectly capture how we nurture curious minds, active bodies, and happy, confident children 🌿

This winter, the youngest members of the Doves family have truly embraced the colder weather, heading out on lots of walks wrapped up in their puddle suits with great enthusiasm and getting well and truly stuck in the mud (quite literally!). By exploring their outdoor environment in all weathers, the children have developed growing confidence, resilience, and a genuine curiosity about the world around them.
During these adventures, they made new connections with our very own animals, approaching these experiences with excitement and care, and having great fun along the way. All of these big adventures often resulted in some very tired little ones, leading to a peaceful and much-needed nap on the journey back to Doves every single time.

Our collective commitment fosters a culture of mutual respect and kindness, where everyone feels valued. By lifting each other up, we create a space where children can flourish, learn, and develop into compassionate individuals.

Dear Parents,

We wish to inform you that the Met Office has issued a warning regarding significant rain or snow, which is expected to exacerbate the already icy conditions in our area.

While we are not closing the nursery at this time, we urge all parents to take a comprehensive view of the situation. Please consider the following:

- **Travel Safety**: Assess the road conditions and potential travel restrictions. Your safety and that of your children is our top priority.
- **Staying Home**: If possible, we recommend that families stay home to avoid any unnecessary risks associated with travel during adverse weather conditions.

In the unlikely event that we need to close the nursery, we will inform parents via WhatsApp at the earliest possible point after conducting necessary risk assessments.

We kindly ask for your understanding and patience as we work to ensure the safety of our Doves family during this challenging weather situation.

Thank you for your attention to this matter x

🌟 Embracing Free Play: The Power of Child-Led Learning! 🌟

In a world where structured activities often take the spotlight, let’s celebrate the magic of free play! 🎈 When our little Doves take the lead, they explore their interests, develop creativity, and learn at their own pace. This approach isn’t just spontaneous; it’s intentional and purposeful!

Through free play, we # introduce new concepts and skills in a natural, engaging way. Whether it’s building a fort to explore engineering principles or pretending to be chefs to learn about nutrition, every moment becomes a learning opportunity.

Our practitioners foster curiosity and encourage our little ones to ask questions, experiment, and discover the world around them. After all, the best learning happens when they’re having fun!

🌿🌟 Today was an adventure at preschool as our little explorers took part in their very own bush tucker trials!

It was amazing to see their curiosity and willingness to try new things! The smiles and giggles as they tasted and discovered were priceless. These experiences not only teach them about our environment but also foster a love for nature and curiosity.

A big thank you to our pre school teachers for organising such a fun and educational day! Here’s to more adventures and learning! 🍃❤️

🚦🌟 Road Safety Adventure at Doves 🌟

Our little explorers took a fun-filled walk to learn about road safety! They not only learned the importance of staying safe near roads but also got creative along the way.

👦👧 The children made their own traffic lights, sang catchy songs, and decorated traffic light biscuits to reinforce their learning! ❤️ It was a fantastic day of hands-on experiences, laughter, and teamwork.

We’re so proud of our little ones for being such great safety ambassadors! 🚦✨

🌟🔥 What a magical day at nursery! Our little chefs had a blast cooking homemade soup over an open fire. With fire safety as our top priority, the children learned how to enjoy the warmth while staying safe.

They sang delightful fireside songs, creating a cozy atmosphere that filled the air with laughter and joy. And of course, no outdoor cooking adventure is complete without some delicious s'mores! ✨

Watching their faces light up as they roasted marshmallows and stirred the soup was truly heartwarming. Here's to more fun, learning, and tasty treats! 🥣❤️

Alongside our cooking adventure, we enjoyed hours of bug hunting and creative scratch art!

Wha a truly wonderful day!
