🧊 2. Colour Mixing with Frozen Gloop
Our little scientists have been exploring colour mixing with frozen gloop! There’s been lots of sensory fun, curiosity and exciting discoveries as we watched the colours blend and change. 🎨

🌻 3. Our Sunflowers Have Finally Opened!
After lots of care and patience, our sunflowers have finally opened! The children have loved watching them grow and seeing the results of our nurturing and hard work. A little reminder that wonderful things take time! ☀️

🦔4. Different Textures with a Favourite Book
Babies & Toddlers brought one of our stories to life by exploring a variety of textures. Lots of touching, feeling and sensory discovery as we explored the world of books in a hands-on way! 📚✨

📚✨ KILTON NURSERY - BOOK OF THE MONTH! ✨📚

We’re very excited to introduce our Book of the Month, and what better way to begin than with a brand-new adventure from one of our absolute favourite authors, Julia Donaldson! 🐭🌳

This month, we’ll be exploring:
Gruffalo Granny 🐾👵
A delightful new Gruffalo adventure filled with fun, imagination and some wonderfully familiar characters!

The Gruffalo has always been a firm favourite here at Kilton Nursery, so when we heard about this new story, we just knew it would be the perfect choice. ❤️

As we explore the story together, we’ll be meeting some familiar faces, recognising snippets of our most loved stories as we turn each page, discovering new characters and seeing where our imaginations take us!
🦊🐍🦉🐭👵

📖 But it’s not just a story…

Sharing books and stories has so many benefits for our children. Through our Book of the Month, we’ll be supporting:

Communication & Language by listening, learning new vocabulary and talking about characters and events.

They’ll support their Literacy skills through enjoying stories, joining in with repeated phrases and retelling the story.

Personal, Social & Emotional Development will be encouraged through exploring feelings and relationships.

Expressive Arts & Design will allow children to use their imagination through role play, creativity and storytelling.

✨ “Who knows what we’ll discover in the deep, dark wood…? Let’s find out together!” 🐭🌳

Does your baby’s sleep space look a bit like little George’s sleep space?

George’s mum, Leah, spoke to us about her experience of caring for George. She was worried about sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), but found our website really helpful to learn how to reduce the risk.

Mini eggs of all colours and brands are lining the supermarket shelves. But, did you know that they are the perfect size to block a small child’s airway and choke them? And, their hard shell can make it difficult to dislodge with standard first aid techniques.

That’s why they carry a safety warning that they aren’t recommended for children under 4.

So, when you’re stocking up for the Easter Bunny please stay safe and choose another treat for your little one.
