The staff have been busy and Nursery is all ready but there is one missing ingredient... children! We look forward to seeing everyone as they return/start over the next week or so 🙂

28/08/2026

We hope all our families have a wonderful Bank Holiday weekend. We look forward to welcoming returning children back on THURSDAY next week!

(If your child is new to Nursery or is moving from the Up to 3s' to Nursery School please check your paperwork for the settling/start date we allocated you - our aim is to ensure not too many children move up or start Nursery all at the same time so Keyworkers can give new children the attention they need!)

We can't wait to see you all! 😊

Today marks the end of another holiday club and what a great one it has been! We have loved exploring new things each week and revisiting some of our favourite activities. There has been so many exciting things from bug hunting to a Teddy bears 🧸 picnic to celebrate the end of the summer, the children loved making their own sandwiches and cheese twists for the occasion.

This week we have also enjoyed doing some experiments from mixing mud and water in the mud kitchen to making our own volcano. The children took such an interest in painting and sticking our volcano together, and it was such an exciting pay off to see the lava come pouring out!

Thank you to all of our friends who enjoyed our holiday club this year, we hope to see you and perhaps some new friends at holiday club again soon! We want to wish good luck and a goodbye to our school leavers, please do keep in touch, and we’ll see everybody else in September!

A few times in holiday club this year we have enjoyed using the parachute, and we couldn’t finish out the school year without getting it out again. The children were able to recall their favourite games, such as hiding under the parachute to become a mushroom🍄, and shaking the parachute to bounce a ball on top. 🥎 . It’s always fun to explore new things at nursery but sometimes something familiar can be just as enjoyable and worthy of our learning time! I wonder if we’ll revisit another favourite activity again this week? What could it be?

We can’t think of a better way to start the week by talking about and looking at books! 📚
Inspired by the children’s desire to know more about bumblebees, we took a trip to the library to see if we could find some books about bees. We found plenty of books about insects and wildlife and the children also found books that followed their own interests such as books about fairies or machines!
Following on from this we looked at some of our story sacks, a particular favourite was ‘Dear Zoo’. 🐒🦁

Today during holiday club there were some discussions about what our grown ups do whilst we’re having fun at nursery. Some of the children recalled times they have been to visit their grown ups work and what they do. This then prompted the interest of making our own office. We made many important phone calls and did lots of typing on our computers, sending emails. One child commented “it’s got a super low battery, it’s nearly gone.” When they were typing out their email. So some children moved onto mark making to write their messages on paper, using paint and pencils since as we all know technology doesn’t last forever but trusty pen and paper is always there. 📞👷‍♂️🖇️

It’s been a very warm week here at nursery and whilst we love nothing more than running around and being active, it’s hard to stay cool that way. So in order to stretch and exercise our bodies in a safer way, we decided to do some yoga. The children loved stretching their arms up to the sky on their tiptoes, it started many discussions about what we could do with our bodies. In one pose we became like trees in the wind, and in another we embraced our inner warrior! How clever! 🌲🧘🧘‍♀️. We then sat down and took some deep breaths to find our zen, we smelt the flowers and blew out the candles on a pretend birthday cake!
I wonder what other things we can do to keep ourselves cool?
