Shooting Stars Nursery & Preschool Tettenhall

✨ Potty & Toilet Training Support for Families.

There comes a time for all of our families to begin thinking about toilet training. Perhaps you’re considering when to start, thinking ahead to the future, or you’ve already started and your child is finding it a little tricky.

Are you unsure when the right time is to begin? Not quite sure how to get started? Or would you simply like some extra guidance and reassurance along the way? Please know that you don’t have to do it alone!

This fantastic resource from ERIC – The Children’s Bowel & Bladder Charity provides lots of practical advice and support: 🔗 Link in BIO or click https://eric.org.uk/potty-training/
Every child is different, and toilet training can take time, patience and plenty of encouragement.

We will work closely with you at nursery to provide consistent support, routines and encouragement, helping your child to feel confident and comfortable as they develop their toileting independence.

If you have started toilet training and your child is struggling, please don’t worry. We can work together to understand what they may be finding difficult and agree on strategies that we can use consistently at nursery and at home. If you would like some additional support, advice or simply want to talk things through, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us.

We would be very happy to arrange a meeting with you to discuss your child’s individual needs and how we can support you. We’re here to support you and your child every step of the way! 💕

🤝 KN x TT Leadership Collab! 🤝

The Baby Room leadership team from Shooting Stars Kings Norton, Chloe and Annie, enjoyed a fantastic visit to Shooting Stars Tettenhall to spend time with Baby Room leader, Maddie

The visit was a brilliant opportunity to explore the learning environment, share ideas, reflect on practice, and celebrate the inspiring experiences being created for our youngest children. Collaborating across our nurseries allows our leaders to learn from one another, exchange best practice, and gather fresh inspiration to continually enhance the experiences we provide for every baby in our care.

These opportunities are an important part of our commitment to continuous improvement, strengthening leadership, developing practice, and ensuring our children benefit from the very best care and learning experiences.

A huge thank you to Maddie and the rest of the Tettenhall team for such a warm welcome, for sharing your ideas so openly, and for inspiring Chloe and Annie. We can’t wait to see some of the wonderful ideas influencing both settings✨

Baby Room Stay & Play ✨

WOW! Our Baby Room at Shooting Stars Tettenhall welcomed families for a lovely Stay & Play session.

It was a wonderful opportunity for parents and carers to explore the beautiful Baby Room environment and Crawl-Out Garden space, enjoy activities alongside their little ones and spend time with our team and other families. Thank you to everyone who was able to join us!
Keep your eyes peeled for future events at nursery ✨

Barefoot sensory exploration 👣✨Our Pre-Toddlers here at SSN Tettenhall have been busy exploring a wonderful sensory walk with their bare feet! 🌿

From soft sand and cool water to squishy textures, paint and natural materials, every step offered a new sensation to discover. Sensory experiences like this encourage children to explore through touch, develop body awareness and build confidence as they investigate the world around them.

A wonderful opportunity for messy, hands-on learning and lots of fun! 🤍
