Canopy Vine Lodge

Did you know that today is International Picnic Day? 🧺☀️

A picnic is the perfect opportunity for everyday play with your little one - and a chance to get outdoors and explore in the nice weather 🌳

From pouring drinks and sharing food, to chatting, pretending and exploring the world around them… so much learning happens in these small moments.

Does your little one have a favourite teddy? 🧸

It’s one of those things that’s really easy to miss.

But applying for funding isn’t a one-off
You also need to reconfirm it regularly to keep it in place.

And if it’s missed, it can mean paying full nursery fees for a whole term… even if you’re eligible.

We know there’s a lot to think about as a parent, so consider this your gentle nudge 💛

📅 If you’re planning to use funding from September, the deadline is 31 August

💬 Save this as your reminder to reapply for your funding for Canopy Vine Lodge

When your little ones are babies they start to learn to understand their own body 💛

Here at the nursery we might see them grabbing their feet, pulling their socks off and exploring different fabrics or textures.

These early movements build body awareness, coordination and control - which are the foundations of independence for getting dressed 🌱

We would love to help your child on there journey at Vine Lodge 😊

It looks like they’re pouring water from one cup to another - about to get soaked right? But they’re developing hand-eye coordination, control and early problem solving 🧠✨

At Canopy Nursery Vine Lodge, we don’t rush these moments. These small, repeated movements build the foundations for so much more later on 💛

For most parents, starting nursery isn’t just about finding childcare...

It’s about figuring out how everything else is going to work around routines, sleep and even all the small things that make your day manageable.

At Canopy Nursery Vine Lodge, we see our role as part of that wider picture through partnership and alignment. We work to build strong relationships with parents, where they feel involved and listened to 🤝✨

Because when there’s consistency, children settle faster. They feel more secure. They make sense of their day more easily. Plus its vital to understanding each child and help them reach their full potential 🙌

Starting nursery is a huge change for both you and your child 👇

Some parts can feel bigger and scarier at the beginning. Like dreading that first 'drop off'.

Those first weeks you may worry how your child is going to settle. It's one of the most common worries we hear from parents 💭

But watching them slowly settle in and build those amazing new routines is really special and we are here to help you all every step of the way 🤗

The early years sector doesn’t stand still - with funding evolving, guidance shifting, expectations changing 🌱

And if you’re choosing a nursery, it can be difficult to keep up with what actually matters.

Behind the scenes, we regularly review the latest updates across the sector.
Looking at what’s new, what’s changing and what it means for children and families.

Not to overwhelm you with information.
But to make sure the way we support children stays informed, considered and relevant 💚

We also share these updates over on our blog, so you can stay up to date in a way that’s clear and easy to follow.

Because while the landscape changes…
What children need to thrive doesn’t ✨

What could be better than a beautiful spring day in the garden ☀️

We love teaching little ones to help out in nature with planting seeds. Small fingers carefully picking up each seed and planting is an incredible way to boost fine motor skills 🌱

And as your little one grows, these skills support so many important everyday moments like turning pages of a book, doing up buttons and zips or holding a spoon.

It all starts here 💛
Save this Spring activity!

At Canopy Vine Lodge our children are busy harvesting and enjoying the Juicy strawberries we planted 🍓🌿 These moments connect children to where food comes from - and they really get to enjoy the 'fruits of their labour' 😊
