🚀✨ Happy British Science Week! ✨🔬Our little learners have been getting involved, from dressing up as astronauts 🌍 to peering through telescopes and exploring sensory experiments.

Because science in the early years isn’t about textbooks, it’s about wondering why, testing ideas, building, exploring and learning through play.

Happy World Book Day! 📚✨ Today the little ones brought stories to life in the most magical way. From creating colourful caterpillars with playdough 🐛 to dressing up as beautiful butterflies 🦋, their imaginations were in full flight.
There were lots of giggles too... especially whilst exploring squishy, slimy spaghetti in our sensory play! 🤭
Because books aren’t just for reading… they’re for inspiring creativity, curiosity and joy.
What’s your child’s favourite story right now? 💛

🐾 It’s National Love Your Pet Day! 🐾 Across our nurseries, we’ve been lucky to welcome a variety of furry, feathered and scaly visitors. Animal experiences support children to develop empathy, confidence and an understanding of how to care for living things.
Plus… they bring LOTS of smiles too 💛

Across our nurseries this week, children have been celebrating wellbeing in so many thoughtful ways, from sharing hugs and talking about what makes them happy, to slowing down with yoga and mindfulness 🧘‍♀️💛

These moments help children learn how to understand and manage their feelings, build empathy and friendships, and grow in confidence as they discover who they are.✨
