The Farmers Den Home Nursery

Thank you everyone who attended my Easter Stay and Play today. We had so much fun and was lovely catching up with the parents. 🥰

Another example of a typical morning set up, engaging the children to make hand overs simple and easy for both parent and child.

I have now left Tiney Agency and registered directly under OFSTED 🤗

A world of adventure awaits your child at our farm, where they can connect with nature and learn through hands-on experiences. Visit our website to discover how these farm adventures can unlock their potential and foster a love for the outdoors.

The hard work has finally paid off!

So pleased to be able to share my grading with you.

Book of the Month: Zog
We are excited to introduce our new Book of the Month initiative! Each month, the children will have the opportunity to explore a featured story in depth through a range of engaging activities.

This month, we are reading Zog by Julia Donaldson. The children are encouraged to get to know the story well by decorating their favourite characters and exploring story sequencing to help build narrative understanding.

On the story table, we’ve created an interactive follow-on activity using dragons, princesses, and padlocks. In this imaginative play, the dragons have captured the princesses, and it’s up to the children to rescue them by finding the correct keys to unlock the padlocks. This hands-on approach not only supports comprehension but also builds fine motor skills and problem-solving abilities.

The activity will be refreshed once the children begin to lose interest, ensuring ongoing engagement and learning.

Last week, we focused on the theme "All About Me" with a special emphasis on where we live. The children thoroughly enjoyed exploring the different types of homes people can live in. They were especially engaged in finding pictures that resembled their own houses and sharing them with their peers.

Through group discussions, the children were able to talk about who they live with, helping to build their confidence and communication skills. We also incorporated a hands-on activity where the children used the wooden blocks to build simple structures that represented houses. This not only supported their understanding of home types but also encouraged creativity, problem-solving, and fine motor development.

It was a lovely way to begin our learning journey by celebrating each child’s identity and background.

The children love going outdoors and collecting special treasures to get creative with in our Art and Messy room

Our ducklings have hatched!

What a great turn out at The Farmers Den Valentines stay and play yesterday. It was lovely to see the children show their parents some the creative things that we do 🥰

Woohoo!! Very pleased with the result for my first inspection 🤗
