Today, the children have been very busy enjoying lots of fun and active play. They had a great time in our active room exploring the soft play equipment, ball pit and balancing sensory spots, which supported the development of their core strength, balance, coordination and confidence while encouraging them to play and interact with their friends.🤸😃

The children also enjoyed using chunky crayons to colour different shapes, letters and numbers on the wall. This was a fun and engaging way for them to develop their early number, shape and letter recognition, as well as their fine motor skills and creativity. The children showed lots of enthusiasm, confidence and enjoyment throughout their play.🔢🖍🔠

Yesterday tweenies enjoyed exploring the woodland tuff tray with porridge. They used their hands to feel, scoop and move the porridge around. This helped to develop their fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination and sensory development. The activity also encouraged the children to explore different textures, build their confidence and curiosity, and develop their communication and language skills through play. 🐿️🐻🦔

This morning, the Tweenies enjoyed walking around the garden and exploring outside. They developed their walking, balance and coordination skills while moving around the garden. They also built their confidence and independence as they explored and played with their friends 🌼🍃🛝

⭐We are so excited to celebrate our wonderful Summer as our Staff Member of the Month! ⭐

Summer is such an incredible asset to our nursery. She is kind, caring, compassionate and always gives 100% to everything she does. Her passion for her role shines through every day, and she is constantly coming up with wonderful new ideas and ways to make learning and play even more exciting for our little ones. ✨

The children absolutely adore Summer, and it’s easy to see why! She builds such lovely relationships with them, making every child feel valued, cared for and supported. 🥰

We are so lucky to have someone who is not only incredibly hardworking, but who brings so much enthusiasm, creativity and heart to our nursery every single day.

Congratulations, Summer! 🏆💐 You truly deserve to be our Staff Member of the Month. We are so proud to have you as part of our team! ❤️

What a busy and exciting week the toddlers have had! They have had lots of fun exploring and learning through their play. The children really enjoyed our woodland-themed water tuff tray, where they explored all the different bugs and used pots and pans to create little homes for them. It was lovely to see their imaginations come to life as they played alongside their friends, sharing, talking and working together. They also enjoyed listening to some of their favourite stories and having a go at creating and sharing their own stories with their friends, helping to build their confidence, communication and language skills. The children had lots of fun completing the wooden jigsaws too, developing their hand-eye coordination, concentration and problem-solving skills while learning about numbers, shapes and different foods. It has been a wonderful week full of laughter, curiosity and learning, with the children developing new skills while having lots of fun together!📚🧩✋️

Babies have had a fantastic morning getting stuck into our woodland-themed tuff tray! 🍁🌲 They enjoyed exploring a wonderful
selection of sensory foods, textures and autumn treasures, getting messy, curious and creative as they investigated everything in the tuff tray. From crunchy leaves and natural treasures to squishy, colourful foods, there was lots to touch, smell, scoop and discover. A lovely autumn adventure full of sensory fun and exploration! 🍂 🐿️🦔

A small group for toddlers had lots of fun getting messy and creative while exploring autumn colours through painting. They enjoyed using tissue paper and toothbrushes as painting tools, experimenting with different techniques and mixing red, yellow, orange and brown paints to create their own autumn shades. The children were excited to see how the colours changed as they mixed them together, encouraging their curiosity, creativity and sensory exploration. They also worked together to help one another put on their aprons, supporting their independence, teamwork and communication skills. Throughout the activity, the children had opportunities to practise recognising and naming colours in both English and Welsh. This fun, hands-on experience supported their fine motor skills, confidence, language development and social skills while allowing them to learn, explore and enjoy themselves together.🍂🎃🟠🟡🔴

Today tweenies were provided with a range of sensory, creative and exploratory experiences, including playdough mark making using pine cones and leaves, sand play with pots and utensils, and hedgehog painting. These activities support Exploration, Physical Development, Communication, Belonging and Well-being. Through playdough mark making, the children explored different textures and natural materials while developing their fine motor skills, hand strength and hand-eye coordination as they squeezed, pressed and manipulated the playdough. The use of pine cones and leaves also encouraged curiosity and exploration of the natural world.

During sand play, the children developed physical skills through scooping, pouring, filling and emptying pots, while beginning to develop an understanding of cause and effect. We supported Communication by introducing simple words such as sand, pot, full, empty, leaf, rough, soft and smooth, responding to the children's sounds, gestures and attempts to communicate.

The hedgehog painting activity encouraged the children to explore colour, texture and creative expression, while making choices and developing their confidence and independence. These experiences provided opportunities for the children to learn through play, sensory exploration and meaningful interactions with familiar adults, supporting their individual development and well-being at their own pace. 🦔🎨⛱️🥄
