There has been plenty of excitement at Walmgate Day Nursery, York this week!

Our children have been getting wonderfully messy with bubble painting, exploring colours, patterns and textures while developing their creativity and fine motor skills. We've also been diving into the fascinating world of turtles and sea animals through stories, sensory activities, crafts and imaginative play.

Every activity is carefully planned to spark curiosity, build confidence and support each child's learning and development - all while having lots of fun!

Here are just a few of our favourite moments from the week. We hope you enjoy them as much as we did! 💙
