Limes Court Nursery School

I cannot believe our first intake of babies are beginning to transition into toddler room! They are showing such self regulation, confidence, readiness, and an abundance of skills that will help them step onto the next stage of life’s ladder. Our staff work so collaboratively to ensure transitions are smooth and effective.

Reflecting on today!
Do we use open ended resources with no pre-determined limitations ?
Do we promote imagination and creativity?
Do we allow children to transport resources from area to area?
Do we allow for children to build on prior experience?
Do we promote positive relationships?
Do we take a child’s interests and let them run with it?
Do we stretch the inquisitive little mind?
Do we? ☺️

Just look at those beautiful marks 🖋🖋

Sand!
And the cutest capture of happiness😊

Today……
Old photo slides have captured imagination, promoted curiosity and encouraged total engagement.
We talk about enquiry based play; it’s right there!
Enriched language development, questioning, discovery, challenge, trial, error, interest, inquisitiveness, control.
The children are investigating, querying, thinking, changing, choosing, experimenting, questioning.

We know that life throws in additional challenges. Children seem to have so much resilience and determination.
Alongside this, there should be a seamless, selfless approach to inclusion.
This picture of my own daughter was beautifully and naturally captured at a birthday party. These two little people have a very special friendship. No additional effort , no barriers, no challenges, just pure friendship.
This is Beatrice’s friend James and that’s James’ friend Beatrice.
On this day Beatrice and James worked together to ensure they both had equal amounts of fun. No adult intervention, just pure friendship.
This picture is so special, I’m sure you’d agree.

Edible sand…. Big hit!

The world is your oyster right from the start.

The most wonderful sight.

We love this post @curiosityapproach !
Just because they are not ready to sit down doesn’t mean they are not listening, learning and progressing.
