Sunnyside Pre-School is getting ready to welcome back their children and newbies from Monday 7th September!

One of our aims as a preschool is to offer nurturing care for all our children. We do this by…..
☀️ Having predictable routines to reduce any anxiety
☀️ welcoming spaces that have been set up around the children’s needs or interests
☀️ A mixture of adult and child led learning
☀️ play based learning with many opportunities to explore using senses and encouraging creativity at each child’s pace
☀️Each child has a keyperson who is active in getting to know not only their children but their families too
☀️ we build strong relationships, are responsive caregivers and are attentive to each child’s needs.

If we sound like we’d be a good fit for your child during the upcoming academic year, please do get in touch via [email protected] and find out more information about sessions and arrange a show around 💙

What a great day we all had yesterday. Celebrating a year of fun, laughter, friendship and learning at Sunnyside Pre-School.

Bouncy castle, face paints, bubbles and games followed by a party lunch. Our leavers were then treated to another fantastic show by Marli the Magician before our graduation ceremony. We are all so proud of each and every child and although we’ll miss them all, we know they are ready and will be AMAZING as they take on their next adventure!

But first, have a wonderful summer from us all ☀️☀️☀️

The key-worker approach ☀️

Our aim is to build strong bonds between each child and their families. Providing emotional security and attachment. From here, each key-worker can create a personalised learning plan. Providing endless learning opportunities in the way we’ve learnt how each child will learn best.

Most importantly, we make it fun! ☀️☀️☀️

Building hand muscles are an important part of school readiness. Developing fine motor skills will impact academic success as children will have more stamina, grip, control, confidence and independence.

Here are our children practising these skills through our stimulating environment. ☀️☀️☀️


❤️ we have spaces available for September intake, please contact [email protected] for more information or arrange a visit.

Under the sea 🐠 🪼

This topic begun looking at shells and led onto creatures and plants you’ll find in the sea. We used sand and different textures at the craft table to create wonderful artwork and in tuff trays to develop language, fine motor skills and concentration.

The topic was being enjoyed by many so we added the story ‘10 Little Pirates’. We provided opportunities for lots of role play, made our own boats and looked at items that could float, used gems and treasure and went on a pirate hunt which helped us practise our numbers and team building. 🏴‍☠️

Staying safe in the heat……

Garden activities have been calmer tuff trays with lots of water play and were set up in the shade. The garden has been closed from 11.30 and we’ve made the most of the air conditioning for the rest of the day. Today we cooled off with some quiet time while watching a movie too.

The children had regular drinking breaks and enjoyed watermelon as part of their snack all week.

Enjoy your weekend, some of us will be at the village fete tomorrow with the bouncy castle. Pop along and say hello, if you’re free. (Southwood rd park)

📚 A Heartfelt Thank You 📚

We would like to say a huge thank you to Julie Jeffery for her generous book donation to our nursery.

Julie lives in Rusthall and runs her Utility Warehouse business, helping local households simplify their bills and save money through friendly, personal support and can be contacted at [email protected]

We are incredibly touched that Julie wanted to give back to a place that has supported so many local children over the years.

These wonderful books will be enjoyed by our children and will help nurture a lifelong love of reading.

We are hoping to extend our reading opportunities by building a mini library, where children can select books to take home for a week before swapping for another. This will encourage all our children to explore books, spark their imagination, and develop their literacy skills without pulling on purse strings.

If you or your business would like to sponsor books and support our library project, we would love to hear from you. Please contact Ann at [email protected] for more information about how you can help.

Thank you again, Julie, for your kindness and generosity. 💙📖

Our topic, ‘the natural world’ ended with the story Jack and the Beanstalk. We’ve been watching our beans grow and measuring ourselves.

As the local school, Rusthall St Paul’s had a sports week, we decided to do the same. The children have enjoyed yoga, obstacle courses, football, dance competitions, bean bag throwing and a game of who can throw the teddy the furthest. There’s also been lots of chat about which foods will give us energy and the importance of drinking water to hydrate.

Happy half term, enjoy the sunshine ☀️ ☀️

‘The Natural World’

We started the term looking at plants and planted some green beans for the children to take home and grow, the children looked at different insects too.

As it was Earth Day, we looked at a map of the world and where different animals come from. The story Handa’s surprise was very popular so we decided to collect up the fruits from the story to try. During the week we had different fruit smoothies and made a fruit cocktail.

Enjoy the rest of the bank holiday weekend ☀️☀️☀️

Our Spring term has ended with lots of Easter fun!

We’ve been busy learning Easter songs, used different materials to make festive crafts, explored torches, egg and spoon races, baking and read the story, The Dinosaur that Pooped Easter - a very popular read!

There was lots of excitement today while hunting for Easter eggs, making bunny ears and getting messy with shaving foam. Have a lovely Easter break and we will be back and ready to hear all about it on the 20th April 🐣
