πŸŽ‰ A huge congratulations to Mille & Heidi! πŸŽ‰

We are so proud to celebrate Mille and Heidi, who both successfully completed their Level 3 Early Years Educator qualifications over the summer and have now officially received their certificates! πŸŽ“βœ¨

We have seen first-hand how much hard work and commitment they have both put into completing their qualifications, all whilst continuing to give so much to the children at Nurture.

We are incredibly proud of you both and so lucky to have you as part of our Nurture team. We can’t wait to see you continue to grow and develop in your Early Years careers. πŸ’›

Well done, Mille & Heidi! You should both be so proud of yourselves! πŸ₯³πŸ‘

🎨 Self-Portraits in Pre-School! πŸͺžβœ¨

Our Pre-School children have been getting creative with self-portraits! Using mirrors, the children carefully looked at their own faces, noticing their individual features before putting pencil to paper to create their very own masterpieces. πŸ₯°

This simple activity supports so many areas of learning within Birth to 5 Matters, including:

πŸ‘€ Observation & attention – looking closely at the shapes, colours and features they could see in the mirror.

✏️ Fine motor control – developing the hand strength, coordination and pencil control needed for early writing.

🧠 Thinking & problem-solving – working out how to represent what they could see through their drawings.

😊 Sense of self – recognising their own unique features and developing a positive awareness of themselves and what makes them special.

πŸ’¬ Communication & vocabulary – talking about features such as eyes, hair, eyebrows and expressions, as well as discussing similarities and differences.

🎨 Expressive Arts & Design – using drawing to represent their ideas, observations and experiences.

Activities like this are a lovely way for children to explore β€œWho am I?”, celebrate their individuality and develop important early skills at the same time. πŸ’œ

We think our little artists did an amazing job! πŸ–ΌοΈβœ¨

πŸ§™β€β™€οΈβœ¨ Potion Making Fun! βœ¨πŸ§™β€β™‚οΈ

Our Toddlers have been busy getting creative this week with a magical potion tray! πŸ‘‘πŸͺ„

The children had lots of fun exploring, mixing and experimenting with different colours, textures and ingredients as they created their very own magical potions. πŸ§ͺ✨

This type of sensory and imaginative play offers so many benefits for our toddlers, including:

🌟 Developing fine motor skills through scooping, pouring, stirring and transferring
🌟 Encouraging creativity and imagination as they create their own magical recipes
🌟 Supporting language development as they describe what they can see, feel and do
🌟 Building early maths skills through counting, measuring and comparing
🌟 Encouraging curiosity and exploration as they discover what happens when ingredients are mixed
🌟 Promoting social skills through sharing resources, taking turns and playing alongside their friends
🌟 Supporting sensory development through exploring different textures, smells, colours and consistencies

Most importantly, they had lots of fun learning through play! πŸ’•πŸ‘‘πŸ§ͺ

🌟 We Got a 5! 🌟

A huge congratulations goes to our wonderful cook, Kat, for this fantastic achievement.

Park Adventures at Etherow Park 🚌🌳

Our Pre-School children enjoyed a little bus ride to Etherow Park for an afternoon of exploring! 🚌

They spent some time feeding the ducks and geese, watching the waterfall and enjoying a picnic snack together. As they explored the park, the children loved spotting different things in nature and talking about what they could see around them. 🌿

The highlight of their trip was when one of the park wardens found a tiny baby frog in the river and kindly let them have a closer look! 🐸 The children were fascinated and asked lots of questions as they carefully observed it before it was safely returned to its natural habitat.

A lovely afternoon filled with fresh air, curiosity and plenty of smiles! πŸ’š

πŸŽ“βœ¨ Pre-School Graduation 2026 βœ¨πŸŽ“

On Friday, we had the pleasure of celebrating our wonderful Pre-School children as they graduated from Nurture Nursery.

We held a special graduation ceremony where each child was presented with a medal and a graduation certificate to celebrate everything they have achieved during their time with us. One of our favourite moments was hearing what each child wants to be when they grow up, as our staff proudly shared their dreams with everyone. We had aspirations of becoming a nurse, a road sweeper, a train driver and even a mum, a lovely reminder that every dream is special and worth celebrating. πŸ’š

After the ceremony, families enjoyed drinks and refreshments while spending time together, catching up with one another and celebrating this very special milestone.

To all of our amazing graduates, we couldn't be prouder of each and every one of you. It has been a privilege to watch you grow into kind, confident and curious little learners and we know you are going to do incredible things as you begin your Reception journey.

Thank you to all of our wonderful children and families for letting us be part of such an important stage in your child's life. We wish each and every one of you the very best of luck as you start Reception this September. We know you'll all shine! 🌟

Congratulations, Class of 2026! πŸŽ‰πŸŽ“

🐸🌸Garden Explorers🌸🐸

This afternoon, 2-3's enjoyed exploring a water tray featuring the fascinating life cycle of a frog. The children loved discovering each stage, talking about the differences, and learning new vocabulary such as 'frogspawn' and 'tadpole'.

As they explored the pond, they also took time to admire the beautiful flowers, discussing their different colours and sizes.

Activities like these encourage children's language development, build their understanding of the natural world and develop observation, communication and early science skillsπŸ’š

🌳🫧 Local Park Adventure 🫧🌳

Our babies had a lovely morning exploring our local park today! They enjoyed spending time on the swings, sharing a tasty snack together and were fascinated as they watched bubbles floating through the air. There were lots of smiles, giggles and curious little faces as they reached up to catch them. πŸ₯°

Outings into our local community are such an important part of our children's learning. Exploring new environments helps to build confidence, encourages curiosity and supports their understanding of the world around them. The swings help to develop balance and coordination, while simple experiences like watching bubbles create opportunities for communication, shared attention and sensory exploration. πŸ’š
