This week our focus is on The Gruffalo! 🌳🦊 🐾

We’re so excited to be enjoying the brand new story ‘Gruffalo Granny’ alongside our favourite Gruffalo stories 📚🤎

We have also set up our Gruffalo small world roleplay and have some lovely new Gruffalo puzzles for the children to enjoy! 🧩

We had our Ofsted inspection over the summer and we are SO proud of the outcome! 🥹🤍

Starting Nurturing Nook has been such a huge journey for us, and to see all of the hard work, love and care we put into our setting recognised in our very first inspection means so much 🥰

We are incredibly proud of the little home from home we have created and, most importantly, the wonderful experiences we provide for the children in our care 🌿🧸✨

Thank you to all of our families for trusting us with your little ones and supporting us along the way 🤍

Here’s to everything we have achieved so far and everything still to come at Nurturing Nook! 🥂✨

This week on the farm! 🐷🌾 🐄🧑🏼‍🌾

We have been enjoying lots of farm themed play, including our farm small world, puzzles and jigsaws. The children have loved exploring the different animals and using their imagination through play 🐑🐓🐖

A lovely week of learning through play! 🤎

To go along with our ‘On the Farm’ topic, yesterday and today the children made their very own fluffy sheep! 🐑🤍

We used cotton wool to create their coats while practising lots of new vocabulary, including ‘soft’, ‘furry’ and ‘fluffy’ 🥰

A lovely hands-on craft encouraging the children to explore textures and build their vocabulary 🫶🏻

Alongside all of our farm animal learning today, we got busy in the kitchen and made some delicious biscuits! 🧑‍🍳🥰

The children loved getting hands on, rolling out the dough and using cutters to make their very own biscuits. It was a brilliant opportunity to develop their fine motor skills, hand strength, hand eye coordination and concentration, whilst also exploring different textures and learning new vocabulary ✨

We enjoyed tasting our yummy biscuits at snack time, and the children loved getting to try something they had made themselves! 😋🍪

We even packed some up to take home and enjoy with our families ❤️

🛒 Welcome to Lidl! 💙💛

Our coffee shop role play has had a little transformation and is now officially Lidl supermarket! 🛍️

We’ve created our very own little supermarket, complete with a trolley, Lidl leaflets, a till with money, a card machine and lots of familiar foods you would find on a supermarket shop 🥦🍎🥖🥛

We’ve even added a big Lidl sign so the children can recognise the shop that we regularly visit on our walks. This helps children make connections between their real life experiences and their play, whilst developing their communication, language, social skills and understanding of the world 🌎✨

We can’t wait to see what our little shoppers get up to! 🛒

We’re looking forward to a brand new week at Nurturing Nook, and we’re starting a lovely new topic all about ‘On the Farm’! 🐑🐴🐔

We’ve been busy getting everything ready for the week ahead, including creating a brand new farm role play area for the children to explore. We’ve also added some new farm themed games and puzzles for the children to enjoy! 🧩🐄

We can’t wait to see where their imaginations take them as we explore farm animals, farm life, sounds, vocabulary and lots of new learning through play 🌱🚜

Here’s to another fun filled week at Nurturing Nook! 🤍✨

We’ve had such a lovely first day back at Nurturing Nook! After our summer break, we have welcomed some new children to our setting, so today has been all about getting to know each other, building relationships and helping our new little ones feel safe, happy and settled 🥰

We’ve been gently getting into our routines and enjoying lots of familiar, open ended play. The children have loved exploring puzzles and games, building towers with the blocks and, of course, having just as much fun knocking them all down! 🧱👷🏼🏗️

We’re so excited to watch our new friendships grow and see everyone settle into life at Nurturing Nook 🌿🤍✨

🧸 A little makeover for our baby room! 🤍

Our baby room playroom has had a little makeover, ready for our youngest children to enjoy! ✨

We are so lucky to have two dedicated playrooms at Nurturing Nook, allowing us to create spaces that are carefully tailored to the different ages and stages of development of the children in our care.

This room is focused on our youngest children and babies, with lots of open-ended resources, sensory experiences, books, musical instruments, cause-and-effect toys and opportunities for exploring, moving and discovering at their own pace 🥰

We want our youngest children to have a calm, inviting space where they feel safe, secure and confident to explore their environment and develop through play 🌿🤍

I’m so pleased with how our little baby room is coming together! 🧸✨

We have been very busy over the past two weeks of the summer holidays, making the most of the sunshine and enjoying lots of exciting adventures together! 💛

Last week we headed off to explore a brand new park, where the children had so much fun climbing, balancing, running, jumping, crawling, stretching, swinging, sliding and navigating their way around the different equipment. These experiences provided fantastic opportunities to develop their gross motor skills, balance, coordination, strength, agility, spatial awareness, core stability, body control and confidence 🧗‍♀️🛝🏃‍♂️

We also went on a little adventure into the woods to search for The Gruffalo! 🌳🐾 The children explored their surroundings, used their imaginations and enjoyed spotting things along the way.

Then, using sticks as our very own dinosaur detective tools, we went searching for dinosaur bones! 🦖🦴 We talked about dinosaurs, fossils and how bones can be preserved for millions of years. The children even learned some fantastic new vocabulary, including the word ‘fossil’.

It has been such a lovely couple of weeks filled with outdoor adventures, imaginative play, physical challenges and lots of opportunities to learn new things through real life experiences 🌿✨
