At our Long Road Nursery in Paignton we have created a new reading area within our Preschool room.
A lovely quiet area for children to access books and explore pictures and sounds. As practitioners we understand how important it is to encourage a love of books from an early age. In response to a strong interest in books the Preschool room we have enhanced the reading area. The children are all engaging with this and are enjoying a cosy space which we all are benefitting from. This supports our book of the month topics too. If your child has a particular favourite book please share with us and we will be able to enjoy as a theme altogether.

This month the Bouncies at our Long Road Nursery in Paignton have been exceptional explorers.
They have been using different materials to create butterflies and other insects to decorate their room.
We have been looking at what grows in Spring, including plants, animals and us.
We have also been gifted some real life Caterpillars to watch grow into butterflies. The Bouncies have also helped to plant some sunflower seeds ready to watch them grow. 🦋🌻

At our Long Road Nursery in Paignton this month's theme in the Bouncy room has been 'I wonder how it grows.'
We have been using our new story sacks to involve the children more within our story times. The children were very intrigued by all the props.
They were each able to name their animal and guessed what colour they were.
