The Play Academy Day Nursery Southsea

CLAY EXPLORATION CHALLENGE

We set the rooms a challenge over the space of a couple of weeks to plan, implement and photograph clay exploration in their rooms.

The children had a great time and here are some of the results, we would like your help in judging by liking your favourite activity or adding a heart for your favourite picture. There are some fabulous photos that we can not share due to consents but we will judge those internally.

Winners will be announced at our 10 year anniversary/Christmas party weekend, this weekend.

10 Years! The nursery turns 10 years old this week and what a journey it has been.

What started as a crazy idea between friends has grown to a wonderful family that has cared for over 400 children. As we reflect on how far we have come we can be nothing but grateful to the wonderful families that have entrusted their children in our care, those that have returned time and time again and those that have been with us from day 1 as we have cared continuously for all siblings.

We are forever thankful to our wonderful team, past and present, who without, none of this would be possible. Their belief in our vision and their passion for what we do allows us to run as an 'outstanding' nursery.

Here is a very small selection of photos of the last 10 years as we remember the wonderful times that have been had and hoping for many more to come.

Thank you to all that have supported us past and present,

Rahma and Emily.

Thank you to our families that were able to attend our Halloween stay and play today, we had so much fun and loved sharing with you what the children enjoy at nursery!

Today we have said goodbye to the last of our amazing school leavers as they start their new school adventures.

Many of the children have been with us for over four years and some families from the very beginning with older siblings. We will never stop feeling fortunate and being grateful when families pick us to care for their wonderful children.

We hope as you transition to your next adventure you keep learning with the same curiosity and joy you have shown every day here. We are so proud of each and every one of you and although we will miss you, we know you will shine brightly at big school.

Here is a very small snapshot of the fun we have had in the last few days.
