King's Burrow Nursery

In close collaboration with Hampshire County Council and Itchen College, King’s Burrow Nursery proudly supports the government-backed Early Years Skills Bootcamp. Our nursery provides end-to-end support for learners, from their initial introduction to a career in Early Years and the pedagogy of Forest School, right through to course completion. Graduates are offered a formal interview with us and the opportunity to develop their experience and skills further through a position at our nursery. Join King’s Burrow Nursery and Itchen College and be part of this vital movement to empower the next generation of Early Years professionals!

A few very rare spaces have opened up at our award winning nature nursery in Harestock. Come and take a peek before they get snapped up!

Earth Day 🌍 🌱

In Leverets the babies enjoyed some time on the field picking flowers and feeling the grass, painting on different recycled materials, and exploring a sound tuff tray full of recycled plastic pots and natural objects.

In Bunnies the toddlers enjoyed cleaning up the “beach” talking about where rubbish should go and why, investigates natural resources to mark make in play dough, and created collages from recycled materials.

In Hares the preschoolers challenged themselves to use tweezers to pick rubbish out of the ocean tiff tray to stop the animals getting poorly, weeded and litter picked around their playground, and discussed plan life cycles.

What a lovely day celebrating our wonderful planet ☺️

On Monday we had our German cultural day to celebrate our German families 🇩🇪

The children enjoyed lots of fun activities including making play dough pretzels, using piping bags to trace the shape of a pretzel, made traditional German biscuits and much more!

They also enjoyed a delicious lunch of curry wurst with apple streusel cake for pudding, and pretzels for tea - yum! 😋

We had a lovely visit from a couple of Wi******er’s PCSO’s last week to celebrate “People Who Help Us” week. They told us all about their jobs, let us try on their uniform and showed us their van. The children had an absolute blast 👮‍♂️

We had a wonderful time hunting for Easter eggs in all our rooms earlier this month 🐣
Leverets explored different textures to find their Easter eggs and loved exploring the sound they made when they shook them!
Bunnies enjoyed searching their outdoor area and investigating how to open their eggs!
Hares found numbered Easter eggs that they challenged themselves to match on a number line to practice their number and colour recognition!
Such fun 🤩

In our Leverets room, the babies love exploring and getting messy! They recently enjoyed celebrating Eid with some painting and sensory tipping and pouring 🌙 ⭐
