The Children's Garden Norwich

Today we have been reflecting on Father’s Day, what we did and what we love to do with the father figures in our lives.

We hope that all who celebrated had the most wonderful day and that everyone had a lovely weekend!

Our friends were so confident sharing their thoughts, feelings and news, outdoor learning helps to promote language development as well as confidence and leadership skills. Great sharing team!

Goals, giggles and great gross motor skills. Our outdoor setting is perfectly placed for supporting confident gross motor development.

Some of our friends have shared about the sports that they have seen recently and we had great fun putting our skills to the test. We are on our way to being World Cup ready!

We have a few spaces becoming available in our Adventurers Space where we enjoy outdoor adventures every day! Get in touch to see if we have a space that meets your needs.

A year to celebrate! 🎂 Wishing our Grounds Manager Carl the happiest birthday!

Children deserve beautiful environments and we certainly have that here thanks to Carl’s hard work and dedication🌱

Following children’s interests led us beneath the waves this week as we explored all things under the sea perfect timing in celebration of World Ocean Day 🌊🐠

Using sensory projections to create an immersive underwater environment, children engaged in imaginative play, creative expression and wonder-filled discussions about marine life.

When learning begins with curiosity, creativity naturally follows. 💙

This morning we enjoyed a wonderful multicultural breakfast together 🌍🌿

Sharing food, stories about holidays and countries that are special to us helps children develop curiosity, respect and an appreciation for the diverse world around them. We’ve looked at food from around the world and thought about cultural traditions.

It was a lovely opportunity to come together as a community, celebrate our differences and discover the many things we share. 🤍

Can you guess our Makaton song of the month? 👨‍🌾

A little clue... it features a cow, a pig and a chicken! 🎵

Combining Makaton with songs is a wonderful way to support communication, language development and confidence. The rhythm, repetition and actions help children remember signs while making learning fun and inclusive for everyone.

There’s so much to discover when we slow down and look closely 🌿

From searching for minibeasts in our gardens and forest to observing life cycles unfold before our eyes, children develop a deeper understanding of the natural world through first-hand experiences.

These moments of wonder help nurture curiosity, promote respect for living things and inspire us everyday. Creating a lifelong connection to nature. 🌿

Montessori practice is woven throughout our days 🌿

From Practical Life experiences that foster independence, to hands-on maths, rich literacy opportunities, sensorial exploration, STEM investigations and developing a deep knowledge and understanding of the world, we believe children learn best through meaningful, purposeful experiences.

We are passionate about creating environments where children are respected as capable learners and where curiosity is nurtured every day.

If you’re a Montessori educator who values child-led learning, the outdoors and thoughtful practice, we’d love to hear from you. We also have an apprentice vacancy available for someone who would like to learn in our Nursery classroom.
