Limes Court Nursery School

True Art

We are so lucky to have the support of local businesses.
Today we’ve been given an amazing box full of Jewels and treasures. Thank you the children are thrilled.

A great ‘meet the teacher’ morning this morning as we welcomed reception teachers from Lane Green First School.

So proud to be working with and the wonderful Rachel, supporting student placements completing T levels leading to a level 3 qualification in Early years.
Bring on the future early years superstars 🏆

Happy Birthday to our wonderful Limes Court Nursery🎉🎉🎉
Where have those two years gone?
Starting from scratch is never easy but what an amazing journey we have had.
The children, the staff, the families; team!
Nothing can be built alone and with this, I am truly grateful for the opportunity to say thank you ❤️Jen ❤️

SLOW DOWN AND PLAY🙏🏻
Did you know that a 3-year old (top left image) and a 6-year old (top right image) have significantly different skeletal structure in their hands?! Notice the bones in the wrist of the 3-year old -- many of them are still mostly cartilage! Look at all the spaces in between the bones where muscles and tendons will change through the years. Even the difference between a 6-year old and a 14-year old (lower right) is huge!

Preschoolers have SO much development to do before they can write the way school-aged children or adults can!

Please do NOT stress if your preschooler does not want to write or draw. Some love it and some don't.

While they are growing, strengthen those little bones and muscles! Here are some great pre-writing, muscle-strengthening activities:

* painting, drawing, coloring
* playdough
* tearing and cutting
* gluing
* poking holes in things (try toothpicks and paper!)
* digging in dirt
* building with LEGOS, marble runs, or other blocks
* beading (try beads, cut straws, or even bobbins!)
* puzzles
* squeezing (try stress balls, squeezing water in a sponge, or using a pipette)
* picking up and throwing balls (use different sizes!)
* playing with toys (watch what their little fingers do when they pick up and move little cars, marbles, action figures, etc!)

These all strengthen and help develop little hands, muscles, and bones. When they are physically ready to write, it will be so much easier than if they were pushed when they didn't want to and weren't ready!

Well done to team Limes this evening for giving their time and late night commitment during our ‘vision for the year’ team gathering.
The Limes tribe have such a vast amount of experience and skills between them, a great level of safeguarding knowledge and a wonderful team player mindset.
We have just about got home in time for snuggles with our own children before bedtime.

So much taken from snow days both inside and out.

Making the most of spontaneous learning opportunities ❄️

Well today brought a new level of ‘Christmas magic’.
Some of our pre-schoolers went on a singing adventure, visiting the library, local shops and cafes and entertaining the streets of Tettenhall village.
We were so proud of their confidence, behaviour and willingness to perform in front of crowds.
We even made a few people shed a tear of joy.
Thank you for enjoying and appreciating the children (and staff) efforts.
Limes Court Nursery, you are special 🎄🥰

Please help save the Early Years Sector 🙏🏻

Petition: Increase funding for early years settings We believe Government funding for early years settings is too low, and making it difficult to keep these settings open. This will only be more difficult with the increase in minimum wage. Everyone wants childcare standards high, but we believe more funding is needed to achieve this.

What a team 🎄

Proud sponsors of girls under 9’s football team 🙌🏻

That time of year is nearly upon us where settings produce a bulk load of adult led (mainly adult produced) Christmas cards and gifts … Noooooo not us, as we will SET their little hands free and what ever will be will be.

It’s new Piano day 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
A picture is worth a thousand words 🙌🏻

Learning walks in our outdoor classroom 🌎
Autumn brings so many wonderful learning opportunities.
Our children have been out and about; therefore giving opportunities to look, collect, listen, question, follow instructions, discuss, and challenge.
Their behaviour was impeccable, their language rich and curious and their ability to take responsibility, share and make choices was outstanding.
We have some wonderful natural resources to add to our provision. Let’s see how the children continue this journey⭐️
Let’s not forget all the other aspects that have been explored today such as road safety, stranger danger, littering …. Endless!

We love an inspirational quote 🥰

So that’s a summer wrap!
From a year of fun, laughter, learning, curiosity, care and passion from all.
From news letters, news feeds and wonderful parent observations, and shared experiences.
From parent reviews and heartfelt feedback, to parent and leaver celebration picnics.
From show rounds to new starters, to fully settled children and families.
From transitions room to room and nursery to school, and new key worker relationships.
We thank you for a wonderful journey so far.
We are going to miss our leaving Limes, and wish them well on their school journey. 🥲🥲🥲
Next week we welcome new members of the team both staff and children.
Let the Limes journey continue.

What a beautiful day for our preschool leavers celebration picnic. Together we’ve laughed and cried and what a wonderful relationship we’ve build. We are so proud of our leavers and what they’ve achieved and wish them well as they venture on to their school settings.
A final farewell is always so hard and we are going to miss our senior Limes children and families so much.
You will all be in our hearts and memories but we do expect a little visit now and then.
Go and show the world what you’ve got 🥰🥰🥰🥰

The beauty of the Early years is having the scope to allow children to discover, challenge, choose, transport, experiment and direct.

Oh so curious…… wonderful!

Children (even when tiny) can follow little rituals when guided and supported.
Making snack time social, steady, calm and enjoyable creates a wonderful, engaged and beautifully purposeful moment in a day 😌 and let’s not forget the power of choice!
