Earls Barton Day Nursery

Last week, we had a very special visitor! Can you spot him? He’s incredibly slithery and scaly! We met Miss Natalie’s special friend, Noodles, and you guessed it—he is a snake! 🐍

Today is Global Wind Day! We had so much fun exploring how we can use our breath to create wind and move light objects. The children enjoyed using straws to blow pom poms around the tray! We also made our very own kites and added string to them, hoping they’ll soar high in the sky! What a wonderful way to celebrate the power of the wind together! 💨🍃

Tomorrow is a very special day. It is Sir David Attenborough’s 100th Birthday! And because he is a national treasure and one of Miss Hannah’s favourite people we decided to make him some pictures for his special day! We used our finger print to create lots of different creatures and preschool joined in creating him some beautiful pictures too!

Happy Birthday Sir David! ❤️

Our toddlers have been wonderfully engaged in exploring how to use their bodies for building activities. During this time, they have been developing both their fine and gross motor skills as they transport various building materials around the room. It has been truly heartwarming to witness their creativity and teamwork as they build together. 👷👷‍♂️🧱

Baby Room ❤️s Messy Play! Recently our Under 2s have been busy exploring a variety of different media using their whole bodies, enveloping themselves in different textures ❤️

Our toddlers have been busy discovering the joy of different textures! They've enjoyed exploring materials like shaving foam, paint, water, and sand, using their hands to feel the exciting changes in texture. What a fantastic experience! ☀️🏖️💧

Quiet half term days + Sunny weather = Whole nursery park visits ❤️

Babies have been getting into the Easter spirit 🐣🐰

Our toddlers have become quite fascinated with farm animals! 🐷🐴🐄We've set up a mini farm using soil, shredded paper, and thin pasta. The children explored different textures while arranging the animals, creating a delightful experience that brought the essence of a real farm to life.

This week we have celebrated saint Patricks day. We have discussed what Saint Patrick’s day is about and took part in lots of activities painting clovers, treasure hunts in the garden and Pom Pom and pictures in the tuff tray. We’ve had so much fun x
