Little Angels Daycare

This week at nursery, we had a wonderful time exploring our book of the week, "Eat Your Greens Goldilocks." 🫛👧🏼The children engaged in learning all about nutrition and healthy eating, while also discussing the importance of keeping ourselves safe and maintaining a balanced diet. We introduced meditation and yoga into our routine, which the children enjoyed immensely.🧘🏼‍♀️ They participated in plenty of yoga sessions, alongside sensory and messy play activities. Creativity was in full swing with lots of painting, gluing, sticking, and colouring. 🎨Additionally, we took some lovely walks around the village to the park, allowing us to enjoy nature together. It has been a week filled with growth, fun and new experiences.!💗

This week, the children have been wonderfully involved in our exploration of the theme 'our village', inspired by the delightful story of 'The Smartest Giant in Town'👨 We've taken some lovely walks around Rackenford, discovering our village's special places like the church, shop, school park, and even the farm. Each stroll has been an adventure, and we were lucky to spot several animals, including horses and tortoises, which sparked lots of excited discussions!☀️ To bring our experiences to life, the children have had a fantastic time using pens and paint to recreate scenes from our walks. We've also enjoyed playing a pairs game featuring the pictures we took around the village, helping to reinforce what we’ve seen and learned😃 We are so proud of our older children, who have been great role models by looking after the younger ones during our outings and sharing their road safety knowledge. It’s heartwarming to see them all learning and growing together!💗

As we wrap up our first week of summer holidays, we wanted to share some of the lovely activities we’ve been enjoying.🫶🏼 This week, we explored the delightful book 'The Nutty Nut Chase', which opened our eyes to the wonders of nature and animals. 💗We've been out and about on many walks around the village, visiting the park and even the farm. 🚜The children where even lucky enough to go and pay a visit to one of their friends chickens and tortoises which we all absolutely loved ! 🐢We also got hands-on by making bird feeders, which is a wonderful way to connect with the wildlife in our gardens. 🪹In addition to all that, we learned about symmetry through beautiful butterflies, allowing the children to use their creative skills in a fun and engaging way. It has been a week full of discovery and joy, and we’re so grateful that the children are making the most of their summer break with us! ☀️

This week at nursery, we’ve been exploring the topic of transitions, especially as some of our friends prepare to take the exciting step into school in September✏️We discussed various types of transitions, like moving houses, family changes, and personal growth. It was lovely to see the children engage with this topic, as we looked at photos of ourselves when we were younger. 💗We also had a wonderful time playing with dolls, pretending to pack suitcases and cardboard boxes as we imagined trips and new adventures. The children drew delightful pictures of their families and created selfportraits using mirrors, capturing their own unique features and expressions😊This has been a heartwarming experience, helping everyone think about the changes ahead while celebrating all the moments that make up our lives🥰

The children have truly had a delightful week filled with laughter, learning, and plenty of fun! ☀️Our focus has been on the book ‘The Diffibility Bunch,’ and we’ve enjoyed diving into the world of sports and the importance of keeping our bodies healthy🍓The highlight of the week was taking part in the sports day with Rackenford school, where the children’s excitement shone through! To end the week on a joyful note, we splashed around in the paddling pool, which brought lots of smiles. In the spirit of the World Cup⚽️, we cheered on England together and even organised our own football matches in the garden, testing our skills as we took turns kicking penalties against Harrison! We also had a lovely trip to the park, where the children eagerly practised their climbing and balancing skills😁

This week at nursery, we've been exploring the book ‘The Worrysaurus’. The children enjoyed a lovely walk to the park, where they could stretch their legs and enjoy nature. We also practised our letters and numbers in preparation for some of our friends going off to school soon. In addition to that, we engaged in lots of drawing and painting, which allowed the children to express their creativity. Sensory play has been a big hit this week too, providing wonderful hands-on experiences. And of course, we spent some delightful time playing in the garden. It’s been a busy and enriching week, and we’re all looking forward to more adventures next week!🦖🎨🛝✏️💗

Happy birthday to Harrison for last Friday 🥳🥳

This week, we’ve been exploring the wonderful theme of ‘having a voice,’ focusing on the story ‘Have you ever wondered what you will be?’ 💭 The children really enjoyed sharing their dreams of what they want to be when they grow up, sparking delightful conversations. They also had the chance to choose their favourite toys and activities, with the parachute and balls being quite popular! Our paddling pool sessions have provided a fun way for everyone to stay cool during this warm weather ☀️ This week, we’ve had a wonderful time drawing pictures and practising to recognise and write our names. Painting, dancing, and drawing have filled our days with creativity and joy! 🌈

Happy Birthday to Nickki for this Sunday 🥳🥳🥳🥳

This week, we have been exploring the fascinating world of different jobs! Our imaginative play has been centred around a variety of professions, including mechanics, artists, chefs, builders, doctors, dentists, and farmers😊 The children really enjoyed discussing the importance of each job and what responsibilities come with them. We have let our imaginations run wild, adding more items and elements to enhance our play⭐️ Throughout the week, we have engaged in painting, setting up pretend restaurants, creating a big bus, and enjoying some colouring activities. Despite the rainy weather, we made the best of our time outdoors in the garden between showers☔️ It’s been wonderful to see their creativity flourish!
