Woodleys Park Day Nursery

The Bunnies have been busy exploring and developing their fine motor skills through sensory play! 💦🌸

The children enjoyed practising their filling and pouring skills in the water tray, carefully scooping, transferring and emptying water using a variety of containers. This activity helps to build hand eye coordination, concentration and early mathematical concepts.

We also had lots of fun investigating beautiful flowers frozen in ice. Using wooden hammers, the babies worked hard to break the ice and free the flowers, exploring different textures, temperatures and cause-and-effect as they played.

A wonderful activity full of discovery, problem solving and sensory exploration! ❄️🌷💙

Potion Making Fun at Nursery! ✨🧪
Our little scientists had a fantastic time creating magical potions! The children enjoyed exploring different ingredients and discovering what happens when we mix things together.
As they stirred, poured, and combined their ingredients, they observed exciting chemical effects such as fizzing, bubbling, colour changes, and new textures. This hands on activity encouraged curiosity, problem solving and lots of discussion about what they could see happening.
Most importantly, the children had so much fun experimenting, making predictions, and using their imaginations to create their own magical concoctions! 🌈🔮
What a wonderful way to learn through play and exploration! ⭐

💚At Woodley’s park, strong relationships are at the heart of everything we do.💚

Our staff take the time to build special bonds with each child, helping them feel safe, valued, and confident. In line with the EYFS, we get to know each child's interests and use what they enjoy as inspiration for our activities and learning experiences.

By following the children's lead, we create engaging opportunities that spark curiosity, support development, and make learning fun every day. 🌟

This week, our toddlers have been getting creative alongside their peers, exploring painting with a variety of different creative tools to create prints and patterns. 🎨🫟

The children have shown great interest in painting their own hands and the hands of their grown-ups, creating special keepsake prints together. To add even more to our creative activity, we added some dinosaurs and used them them to make some dinosaur footprints in the paint!🦖🦕

It has been wonderful to see the children use their imagination by expressing themselves through art, developing their creativity, and having lots of messy fun along the way.

There is nothing more special than watching friendships begin to blossom in our Baby Room. 💕👶

The Bunnies enjoyed spending time together, sharing smiles, babbles, toys, and precious moments of connection. Through these everyday interactions, they are learning important social skills such as communication, turn-taking, kindness, and understanding others.

Whether sitting side by side, exploring together, or sharing a giggle, these special friendships help build confidence, emotional wellbeing, and a sense of belonging.

We love seeing our babies form such lovely bonds and create memories together as they learn and grow. 💙✨

🌸💦 Water Play Fun with Miss Jade 💦🌸

Miss Jade and the babies enjoyed a wonderful sensory water play activity with a beautiful flower-themed water tray. The babies explored the water using a variety of different utensils, scooping, pouring, and splashing as they investigated how the water moved and flowed in different ways.

As they poured water from one container to another, they watched with curiosity and excitement, developing their understanding of cause and effect while strengthening their hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills. The colourful flowers added an extra sensory element, encouraging the babies to engage their senses and explore through play.

It was lovely to see so many smiles, focused faces, and moments of discovery as the babies experimented and learned together. Well done, everyone! 🌼✨
