Chipmunks Nursery OSC

A few photographs from Brookside Chipmunks coronation celebrations. The children enjoyed learning about the royal family and some of the traditions that take place during royal occasions. The baby room enjoyed a rice themed tray and earlier this week Toddler room got ready by making their very own crowns. We also enjoyed a lovely BBQ to celebrate for lunch on Friday and sang the national anthem altogether.

Good luck to all our Chipmunks families waiting to hear about their child's primary school place on Monday.
Keeping our fingers crossed🤞that you get your chosen school xx

Brookside Chipmunks had lots of fun this week especially doing the Easter craft sessions in the Baby, Toddler and Preschool rooms. As you can see the children have done lovely activities with their Mom's, Dad's, Nans, Cousins and Aunties 🙂 Baby room even hosted their own little easter egg hunt. We had a great bonnet parade but more importantly made more memories together! Happy Easter all 😘

Due to the weather conditions, we have made the decision to close both Chipmunks settings today.
Apologies for any inconvenience caused.☃️

World book day 2023 at Chipmunks Stirchley...............................

Paige bought her dog 'Thor' to nursery this week. Thor spent the day with the children where he had lot's of fun playing with in the construction area and having a big run around in the bike area. He was very popular in toddlers too and was certainly tired by the time we sat down for stories where he snoozed along as Paige read to the children. Thor had a fantastic day and we look forward to Thor's next trip to preschool especially after the children asked "Can we keep him?". We used this opportunity to talk to the children about pets and why looking after them is important as well as the dangers and encouraging boundaries with unfamiliar animals we may come across.

Chipmunks Pre-school Brookside taking a walk in the local community. The children were saddened to see the litter all around them, so they grabbed their bin bags and had a morning litter picking and looking after our lovely community surroundings.

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth ll.

We are extremely saddened to hear of the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth ll.
It does not seem long ago that we were celebrating the Queen’s Jubilee with the children. We will continue to celebrate the Queen’s life at Chipmunks with the children to ensure that we maintain a positive environment at such a sad time.
When change happens it is important that we speak as much as possible to our children to explain what is happening.
We will continue to celebrate the life of her Majesty Queen Elizabeth ll. We will talk about her and focus our activities on the monarch to support the children’s interests over the coming days.

To celebrate England's first euro football match last week Chipmunks Brookside had a football day. The babies, toddlers and pre-school all joined up on the field to take part in some ball related games and had loads of fun. The children dressed up in sporty clothes, football kits and their favourite bright colourful outfits. Lot's of team work with some team photo's at the end.
Come on England!⚽️⛹️⛹️‍♀️

Busy babies at Brookside Chipmunks - a discovery walk and a teddy bear's picnic! It looks like they have had a lovely time. 😘

There has been lots going on in the toddler room at Chipmunks Brookside. They have been exploring vegetables and making vegetable soup in the mud kitchen! Tea bag painting, car ramp painting and having fun with a car wash. It sounds like they have had a great time!

Pre-school Brookside, have been having lots of fun in the sun with their new firepit. They cooked sausages and made smores using marshmallows and chocolate biscuits. The children sat around the firepit and sang songs while they waited for the fire to settle ready to cook the food for dinner. It was lovely to sit and talk about all the children's experiences and special times at home as well as reflect on all the fun exciting moments we have in preschool.

The Pre-school children did a fabulous job this morning at the Chipmunks Brookside sports day. They have been practicing so hard the past few weeks in preparation for this. They were confident, eager and very competitive! Pre-school had a mini ceremony afterwards to award the certificates and medals to all the children, who are now proudly telling everyone they are the champions 🙂 It was lovely to be with the parents again celebrating all the children together! What a turnout!

Always remember the Pre-school motto:

We are strong 💪
We are kind 🙂
And we can do anything!

Thank you to all the mums, dads and friends who cheered us on. Well done Pre-school you are all winners xx

Remember to send your little ones to nursery with sunscreen and a hat
Thank you 🌞
