loped a teaching philosophy based on the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum that blends influences from Anna Ephgrave "In the moment philosophy" which is based on children learning in the "here and now". We incorporate many aspects of theories relating to how children learn which include Elinor Goldschmied who pioneered treasure baskets, treasure play and the key person system. We provide a nurturing environment where children can explore, learn and develop their interests through play. Our outstanding early years educators build on children's individual strengths and passions, setting a high standard for their learning and development. Each child receives a personalised approach that inspires and enables them to become a purposeful, life-long learner, enabling them to reach their unique potential.

🌟 This afternoon we visited the Community Café to meet a very special crew member… Pudsey Bear! 🐻💛

This was the third stop on Pudsey and his crew’s exciting voyage as they sail around Britain, helping to raise awareness of children’s mental health. During our visit, we took part in some calming movements and shared positive affirmations together. 💭✨

The children were so excited to meet Pudsey and loved being part of such a special afternoon. We can’t wait to follow the rest of the voyage and see where Pudsey travels next! 🚤🇬🇧

Happy 100th Birthday to David Attenborough 🌿

Today we celebrated Sir David Attenborough’s special birthday by watching a short clip of him meeting gorillas and learning about the amazing work he has done to help protect our planet and wildlife.

We then enjoyed a trip into town to explore the nature around us. The children spotted ducks, fish, dogs and birds, and talked about the different ways we can all help to look after our wonderful world. 🌍💚

What a lovely day of learning, exploring and appreciating nature together!

🚂 Next Stop… School! 🚂

As our school leavers get closer to their exciting next adventure, we are busy preparing them for the journey ahead. 🌟

At The Old Station Nursery, being “school ready” means so much more than just learning letters and numbers. It’s about building confidence, independence, curiosity, friendships, and the skills they need to thrive in their next chapter. 📚✨

From putting on coats and pouring drinks to sharing, listening, problem-solving and exploring new challenges, every little step helps prepare them for the big move to school.

Take a look at what ‘school ready’ means to us and how we support every child on their journey. 🚂❤️

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 St George’s Day Celebrations 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

What a wonderful day we’ve had celebrating St George’s Day at nursery!

The children had lots of fun getting creative by making their own St George’s flags, using different materials and colours to bring them to life. We also went on an exciting adventure digging for dragon fossils. There were lots of curious minds and great teamwork on display!

To finish, we mixed up some magical “St George’s potions,” exploring textures, colours and a little bit of imaginative play along the way.

It’s been a day full of creativity, exploration and plenty of smiles ☺️
