Oakmere Day Nursery

The babies continue to explore the world we live in by being out in the garden.⭐️

They all enjoyed walking over the Billy Goat Gruff Bridge - developing their balance, core strength and coordination.

Today we celebrated Sir David Attenboroughs 100th Birthday with a very special bug hunt.

Our little explorers searched high and low through the garden hoping to discover a brand new species of creepy crawly. Inspired Sir David’s love of nature and wildlife.

Happy 100th Birthday Sir David - thank you for inspiring generations to care of our planet 🌎

Mark making fun in the fresh air! 🌿

Today we used jumbo chalks on recycled card, giving the children lots of space to explore big movements and express their creativity.

Activities like this help to strengthen gross motor skills, build coordination, and support early writing development - all while having fun outdoors 🎨

Becca has received her flowers as she celebrates 10 years with us 🎉

Thank you for everything you’ve given over the years - we’re so lucky to have you as part of our team.

We were recently asked by Blakemere to contribute some art to their Happiness Trail, located right here at Blakemere - and we thought, who better to take on the challenge than our little artists?!

The children had a wonderful time painting stones that will now be placed all along the trail for other children to discover, follow, and enjoy.

Keep an eye out for them next time you're on the trail!

Exploring sound through play 🎶

When children engage with musical instruments, they’re building coordination, strengthening listening skills, and expressing themselves in new ways. It’s a simple activity that supports creativity, focus, and confidence as they learn through experience.

Moments like these help lay the foundation for lifelong learning.

The children headed out into the woodland - and the mud made it even more exciting!

From balancing along logs to carefully navigating the uneven, muddy ground, the experience supported their physical development while building confidence, independence, and problem-solving skills.

Outdoor learning gives the children the freedom and space to learn through real, hands-on experiences in nature 🌿✨

⭐️A Trip to the Pet Shop ⭐️

Our babies enjoyed a calm visit to the pet shop, where they were able to observe their surroundings and experience something new!

These early outings support curiosity, sensory awareness, and confidence in a gentle way.

Bird watching in the woodland area is a great activity as it helps children develop observation and listening skills while encouraging curiosity about the natural world 🌿.

It also supports calm focus and patience, helping children learn to respect wildlife through real-life outdoor experiences.🐦
