Little Ducklings at Windhill community centre

☀️🛝What a beautiful day in the glorious sunshine…we made the most of the morning shade with lots of invitation play set ups in our outdoor area. As you can see from the pictures they were a massive hit with our little ducklings 🐥 Lots of children exploring their ideas, using connecting and imaginative language in their play.
We ended the day with group games and singing with the parachute! Nursery days are happy day!! 💛

Does your child turn 2 before 31st August? We have a few spaces for September for FREE childcare with no hidden fees! Please feel free to message me or pop in for a look around 😊

🚨🚓👮🏽‍♀️This week we was visited by the West Yorkshire police. The children enjoyed a water fight in the sunshine, using the sponges and shields, testing their running speed using the speed guns, trying on their uniform and learning through play the role of the police. At little ducklings we take a collaborative approach to community and topic learning through outings and visitors! Thank you to Jerry and his team for visiting us the children and staff had a fab day! 🚓👮‍♀️🚨

🌼 We love being part of the Communtiy Centre here at Windhill and involving our nursery children in local sessions and events. Yesterday, the children joined in the gardening group and helped plant hanging baskets, making our community garden brighter and more welcoming for everyone 🌸🌷🌻 We hope you admire they’re hard work next time you come along to our centre! 🪻

🦋🐛☀️ What a lovely end to a busy term we’ve had! Lots of fantastic hands on learning around planting, life cycles and growing.
All of our butterflies emerged from their cocoons this week and the children have been mesmerised watching their fluttering wings grow and develop, we enjoyed releasing them this week to start their own adventures 🧡
We are now closed for 2 weeks until Monday the 8th of June for half term. 🗓️
When we return we will be focusing on the world
Around us, changes and the season of Summer! Look out for changes to the role play area and more enhancements around our nursery to support these new topics! ☀️🌎🪴🍦⛱️

🫘🫛🐈‍⬛Messy days are happy days 🐈‍⬛🫛🫘 Today at Little Ducklings the children have loved exploring the messy tuff tray, scooping and pouring the beans and soil and making their own beanstalks by balancing the foam pieces as high as they could.
We are very lucky to have such dedicated practitioners who follow the Children’s interests and plan motivational daily activities for the children to enjoy. We had lots of foamy hands, conversations and fabulous creative ideas from all 🙂 See you on Monday for more fab play! 🦋

💦🦋📚🐞🐛We’ve made the most of the sunshine today at nursery..with lots of free play in our outdoor garden! The children have enjoyed hunting for mini beasts, reading topic
Books, mark making in the water and exploring messy foam. Finishing our play with a refreshing ice pop! We hope you all have a lovely bank holiday weekend. We’ll be back on Tuesday ☀️

🦋🐞 🐛🕷️The children have loved learning all about the life cycle of a caterpillar this week. We have shared a variety of topic books during group time to support their learning and enhanced our areas to promote language, motivation and role play skills underpinning their characteristics of learning.
This week we welcomed the delivery of our very own caterpillars to watch grow in to butterflies.
At little ducklings we follow a child led approach to learning, the children have enjoyed creating bug houses using various materials in the small world areas, making fruit crumbles for the bugs in the home corner caterpillar cafe and re-telling the stories using stick puppets and props🐞🦋🕷️🐛
