We have had some lovely feedback on our day nurseries page over the last week, the comments have made us smile that much we thought we would share..
''I changed my daughter’s nursery to this nursery in February and she has been here for a little under 2 months but I can see a massive difference from this change. She is extremely happy at Little Pioneers Ashton Court, she loves going out to nursery and even hesitates to leave at pick up time. I can see she loves all the activities she does at nursery and she always returns home a very happy child and I wonder why I did not start my journey with Ashton Court much earlier. I’d definitely be recommending this nursery to all my friends and colleagues. Keep the excellent work up team''
''Ashton Court Llittle Pioneers always goes above and beyond. I feel at ease dropping off my little one but the best part is they do so many activities my little one absolutely loves it. Painting arts and crafts, outdoor play, water play, role play, shopping trips to the park and library it's just amazing. I'm due my second child and getting the application ready now for a year's time as I will not miss out on a slot. Thanks for being amazing Ashton Court.''
''A really good nursery caters to all children’s needs. The staff are really brilliant and the communication is good. My child has grown so much and has learnt a lot from his speech to interacting and learning with other kids. The manager is really good and very understanding and also approachable.''

Yesterday our yellow group children had a big day out, We visited the Farm!!
We used public transport to get there and back, which the children loved and do not always get to experience due to parents having cars.
''Wow its a bus.'' ''I press the bell''
The children have recently expressed interests around farm animals and we were very excited to see some new baby lambs!!
The children enjoyed a picnic for lunch, it was a very exciting day...
We were very lucky to enjoy the spring sunshine!

Getting up, close and personal with bugs and insects.
Exploring changes in spring...

What a busy few weeks we have had at Ashton court - Here is a small wrap up of just some of the things we have been up too..
HOLI - We joined in with the Indian festival of colour. Holi is a Hindu festival that celebrates spring, love, and new life. We had lots of fun with multiple colours creating marks and covering ourselves!
COMIC RELIEF - This year for early year age children the theme was Mr and little Miss characters, the children and staff dressed up as their favourite character as we raised money for a good cause.
Our blue group children painted the characters from their favourite book - We was amazed by their creations.
MOTHERING SUNDAY - On Monday preschool held an afternoon tea and invited their Mommies in - We think the cakes looked amazing.
We had some lovely feedback from this, one comment in particular
was sent over via our parent zone app and we would like to share it ...
''Good morning, Just wanted to say thank you for a beautiful afternoon yesterday. I feel like we should have also been celebrating you as "nursery moms". Everything you do is really appreciated by us as mom's and the children who look up to you and (although it may not seem like it at at times) value every word, lesson and moment you share with them. With love...''
Our orange group children planted some sunflower seeds, these were sent home with the children so they could grow a sunflower together with their Mommy.
Children across the nursery created some keep sake pieces for their Mommy's using canvas's as well as cards. They definitely brought some smiles :)

HAPPY WORLD BOOK DAY 2023
Across the nursery we have had some fantastic costumes, some even hand made, we think you all look amazing!
The children have brought their favourite books into nursery to share with their friends and dressed as characters from their chosen book.
Our Orange group (baby room) have also held a craft competition where they created their own masterpieces at home with their family based on their favourite book. we have been blown away with the entries.
''The more you read, the more you will know.
The more that you will learn
The more places you will go.''

Our parent involvement session last week.
As our last craft parent session was so successful, we had requests for another one - so this time it was decided it would be messy!
We received some lovely feedback
''Thank you for a lovely parent session, it was great to experience it.''
''There was lots of variety, and well organised, I enjoyed it . We both did.'
''Thanks Jade and Sarah, yet again a lovely morning.''
''It was heart warming to see **** smile when they saw me.''

Our red group children have been enjoying their yoga session! "Healthy body, Healthy minds!"
Our preschool have lots of energy so enjoyed having the rainbow parachute out during their outdoor session, we think its lovely to finally see some sunshine!!

Some of our 'love day' experiences yesterday here across the rooms at Ashton court!
Red group noticed a brunch of flowers that a staff member brought to nursery so decided to have a go at painting their own flowers.
They were also busy baking, it smelt delicious!!
Our under two's enjoyed exploring a warm milk bath, using the spoons to scoop out the flower petals into bowls practising gross motor skills as-well as using heart shape cutters to create some art work pieces to take home to their families.
15/02/2023
Our preschool children had a very important science experiment to do at home to extend their learning!

RED GROUP.
This month we have had some children transition into our two year old room. The staff have been exploring the 'Colour monster' story
This wonderful book supports children's understanding about feelings, associating them with colours they might know. It supports emotional development through expressing emotions and feelings and helps children understand what it is they feel, and possibly why
The children have also continued to self serve themselves at meal times as we talk about what foods are on our plates and where they come from.
This week Red group have also been exploring using scissors for the first time, aswell as showing caring for others - playing nurses and doctors with the babies.
17/01/2023
Our yellow group children have began to show an interest for the world around them. Over the last week we have been lucky enough to visit our local library in which we travelled by public transport - following the interest of buses!
We also had a visit to the local shop to collect some ingredients for us to make our apple pie tomorrow - Following interests from the story 'Full full full of love.''
Following other children's interest within the group, we also enjoyed climbing on the playground equipment at the local park, we saw the ducks in the big pond and enjoyed exploring open green space!
A very busy week we have had.

Our lead up to Christmas adventures in our Yellow group this week. We have created our Winter wonderland following the Stick man story which is a favourite in our group.
We have also asked parents for recent snow day pictures which they have sent in via our parent zone app - These are now part of our small world discovery tray, linking to home adventures for the children to explore.
We enjoyed a Christmas party yesterday where the children came dressed to nursery in their party clothes, we had so much dancing, singing and then enjoyed our Christmas tea party. Take a look at our video attached to see our special cut out festive sandwiches!

We could not believe our eyes!! Just look what our Elves have been up too this week. The Children was so shocked to see all of the tissue on the floor in the bathroom!!
The Elves even found their way upstairs to our Yellow room, it looked like they had lots of fun sliding up and down our line of string!
We have reminded them of our nursery golden values and we hope they will be good tonight but what do you think?
