Little Oaks Day Nursery

Today we said a sad goodbye to Cathy 😢 Cathy has been with us for 5 and a half years and she is going to be missed by everyone at Little Oaks ! Cathy we wish you good luck in your new job but we know you are going to be amazing - they are very lucky to have you 💜

Yesterday for pancake day the children enjoyed ‘making’ their own pancakes. For pudding at lunch time Suzanne out nursery chef made us some pancakes which we enjoyed with fruit and yogurt. #littleoaksdaynursery #pancakeday #tasty #eyfs #learningandexploringthroughplay

One of children at nursery is Romanian. Yesterday he bought gifts in for all of the girls in his room as part of a Romanian tradition : it is called Martisor (a sort of diminutive for Martie, the Romanian word for March), and they celebrate it with snowdrops, traditional gifts, plenty of joy, and dinners downtown. It is a bustling, but very special time of the year, when every city, town, and village in the country is brought to life by heaps of colorful stalls selling the so-called Martisoare. Traditional the Romanian men give gifts to the woman of their town. We love learning about our childrens heritages and also sharing it with the other children so they about each other and value each other #littleoaksdaynursery #eyfs #uw #britishvalues #diversity #culture #friendships

Happy Valentines Day to all of our families and followers ❤️

You can help your child by identifying words that start W #littleoaksdaynursery #eyfs #learningthroughplay #literacy

It’s been a busy week at both nurseries this week. On Tuesday staff offered parents a hot drink to go along with a muffin or a flapjack on the morning drop off. This is something we are aiming to do once a term and will hopefully make our parents early morning starts a little brighter ✨ #littleoaksdaynursery #parentpartnership

Meet Molly 👋 Molly is our childcare apprentice at our Penn setting. She only started last week and had an amazing week !! Molly will be completing assessments and on the job monitoring alongside working full time to gain her childcare qualification. #littleoaksdaynursery #training #apprentice #penn #wolverhampton

This week in preschool at Wolverhampton the children have enjoyed a teddy bears picnic 🐻. The children all bought in a teddy bear to nursery and then they helped to prepare a picnic. The children put butter and jam on bread and also helped to make Rice Krispie cakes. #littleoaksdaynursery #wolverhampton #independence #finemotorskills #physicaldevelopment

Say hi to Priya 👋 Priya has joined baby room at our Wolverhampton setting and has had an amazing first week ! We’ve had lots of positive feedback from parents and staff but most importantly the children have definitely started to build lovely bonds with Priya !! 💜

Meet Jo. Jo is our Provision Manager here at our Penn setting. Jo has been at Penn since the start and before that worked at our Wolverhampton setting. Jo is passionate about her job and goes above and beyond to make sure that the children who attend the nursery have a lovely environment to play and learn in. One of our biggest challenges at our Penn setting is getting the message out that we are not linked to Penn Kids in any possible way. Penn Kids closed last year and we took on the building, decorated and furnished the rooms to match our ethos and values and then opened in January this year. We are still awaiting our Ofsted inspection which is normal for new settings. If you are interested in our Penn setting but you are worried about this please take a look at our Ofsted report from our Wolverhampton setting as this will give you an idea of how we do things at Little Oaks 💜 Also please feel free to organise a show round so that you can meet the staff and see the setting for yourself. #littleoaksdaynursery #penn #wolverhampton #childcare

Our Penn setting gained these two little cuties today ! They haven’t got any names yet but we are going to ask the children what they think they should be called and then we will do a poll on our story so keep your eyes peeled !!! #littleoaksdaynursery #pets #eyfs #bekind #nature #guineapigs
