🎃🍂 What a busy week of Autumn adventures! 🍂🎃

We kicked off our Autumn topic with lots of fun!

🍁 We made our own Autumn shakers, took our Sylvanian Family friend’s pumpkin picking 🎃🐰, sorted colourful pom-poms 🌈, and counted Autumn objects while spotting which ones were different.

Our little ones showed fantastic teamwork, communication, problem-solving and counting skills, well done everyone! 💛

🌟 WOW Slips! 🌟
Our children have also been sent home with a WOW slip. We love seeing what your little ones have been up to. We love to celebrate their learning and achievements together! 🥰🍂

🗒️ A little childcare info! 🗒️

We often get asked, “When is too early to start looking for childcare?” 👀

The honest answer? It’s never too early! 🤭

We already have children on our waiting list who haven’t even been born yet! 🤰🏼💕

Our advice to all parents is to start looking as early as possible to give yourself the best chance of securing a place.

🫣 A little update on spaces…

We are currently full and already have a waiting list for September 2027. 🍂

That said, we are always happy to hear from future families, so all enquiries are welcome! 🥰

If you’d like to find out more about us, please feel free to get in touch and make an appointment to come and see us. 📞✨

We’d love to meet you! 💕

🌟What our little ones have been up to lately🌟

Life is always busy at A Step Above! 💕 There’s always something exciting happening, lots to explore and plenty of opportunities to learn through play.

🌿 We’ve been enjoying lots of time out in the garden, exploring nature, getting messy and making the most of the sunshine!

🎨 We’ve been getting creative with paint, experimenting with colours and letting those little imaginations run wild.

🔤 Our daily phonics sessions are a big part of our routine too, helping our little ones build confidence with sounds and early literacy skills. 📚

💦 From exploring, creating and learning to simply having fun with our friends, there’s never a dull moment! 🤪

A Little Goodbye ❤️

Today we say goodbye to two very special little ones who have been part of our nursery family for the past 18 months.

What makes their journey even more special is that their family have travelled over an hour each way just to bring them to us. 🥰

That incredible commitment has meant so much to us, and we feel honoured that you chose us to be part of their early years.👶🏼

Over the past 18 months, we have watched both children settle, grow in confidence, make wonderful friendships and develop so many important life skills. It has been such a privilege to watch them flourish and become the happy, capable little people they are today. 👏

Thank you for trusting us with your precious little ones and for making that incredible journey to be part of our nursery family. ❤️

We wish you both the best of luck! 💗

What a busy few weeks we've been having in Nursery! 🌟

Our Transport topic has been such a hit with the children that we've decided to keep the adventure going... all the way to the seaside! 🚗✈️🚤🏖️

We've been developing our cutting skills by creating runways for our aeroplanes, making our very own passports, writing and sending postcards, and learning all about different types of transport by sorting them into land, sea and air.

Our learning has taken us to the beach too! We've transformed our big steps into a seaside adventure, rescued frozen sea creatures, enjoyed a foam ice cream pop-up shop, decorated delicious seaside biscuits, and so much more. 🌊🍦🦀

We've also had the pleasure of celebrating two of our little ones' birthdays – happy birthday! 🎉🥳

Oh... and we nearly forgot to mention our brand new plastic mud kitchen... safe to say the children are absolutely obsessed with it! 👏💚
The children (and staff!) are having so much fun with this topic, and we're excited to keep the seaside adventures going right through to the end of August! ☀️

Take a look at some of our favourite moments below! 📸

🌟 We explored different lights, textures, and sounds, giving everyone the opportunity to investigate and discover at their own pace.

There were lots of smiles, curiosity, and excitement as we engaged our senses and had so much fun together! 💜✨

📚🐞 Nursery Visit to the Library 🐞📚

Our little ones had a wonderful time visiting the library! 📚

They enjoyed exploring the books, sharing conversations, and listening to a lovely story read by Helen the librarian. 👩🏼‍🏫

To finish off the visit, the children got creative and completed a fantastic minibeast craft activity. 🐞🦟

It was a fun filled morning of learning, imagination, and creativity! 👏🥰👏

🐞🕷️🦋M I N I B E A S T S ! 🐞🕷️🦋

We have explored a range of different minibeasts including spiders, ladybirds, ants and beetles. 🐞🐛🐜

The children have been busy using their maths skills to count how many legs a spider needs, using playdough to create their own spiders.
They also added spots to ladybirds using paint and talked about symmetry while creating beautiful butterflies.🕷️

Everyone has been fully engrossed in the topic, and it has been such a great start to the year for our new children. 👏

Our new little ones are beginning to settle in so well too. 🥰

We have lots more exciting learning planned for this topic and we can’t wait to continue exploring together! ✨

Life lately at A Step Above 🌍✨

We’ve just wrapped up our “All Around the World” topic, and what a journey it’s been!
The children have created some truly amazing work along the way.
From exploring recycling and learning about animals across the globe, to decorating world themed biscuits and discovering sea creatures (and how to protect them), it’s been full of creativity and curiosity. 🐟🌊

We even got crafty making our own Easter bonnets using recycled materials — such a fun and imaginative activity! ♻️🐣

We’re also so excited to have welcomed four new children into our A Step Above family 💛
Now we’re starting our brand-new topic: Growing 🌱

We’ll be exploring all the wonderful things that grow from flowers and vegetables to ourselves and learning what we all need to grow happy and healthy. 💦

And to top it all off, we’re delighted to have a new member of staff joining our team too! 🙋🏼‍♀️

Lots to look forward to in the weeks ahead ✨
