Team BB 🌈🦋

As everyone will be aware, we are due to close our doors 31st August 2022. After 24 years in business, it is time for Christine to take a well earned rest and start her retirement!
We obviously want BB to go out with a bang and so we have planned some very very exciting activities and special days.
We have started with our annual BB Beach Day!
The children and the team had a great day and we loved spending quality time together in the sunshine, playing in water, building sand castles and eating ice cream!

The Rainbows have been very busy enjoying the sunshine! ☀️🌞
Here are some photos of some of the play opportunities that have been on offer for the Rainbows this week.

When we set up provision for the children at nursery, we always try and ensure that there is an element of challenge, excitement and exploration. We think our plans through carefully and adapt them when we need to, to meet the needs of the children!

While that is very important, we also appreciate the play process and the outcome of the fun and learning!
We talk about 'play residue' as though it is as important as the play process. Over the next few weeks, we will share some 'play residue' photo's with you so that you can see how our play starts and ends!

Here is an example from our Easter celebrations this week!

We want to wish all our wonderful families a very happy Easter!
We hope that the Easter Bunny comes with some lovely treats for you all!

We have had a great run up to Easter, we want to thank our amazing team for all their hard work and effort. They are 100% dedicated to ensuring that the children in our care have the most amazing experiences!

Happy Easter!
Love Team BB
