Just a little heads up for our families travelling by car, Victoria Road is closed which is causing lots of extra traffic outside the nursery because of the diversion but tomorrow at 9am multi way traffic lights go up on union street until Wednesday at 4.30pm.

🎉🎂 Celebrating Birthdays at Mainline in platform 2🎂🎉
Over the last couple of months we have had a wonderful time celebrating some very special birthdays at nursery! 🥳🎈 all driven by their interests we have created tuff tray activities for each child who has celebrated a birthday, each child was very excited to choose friends to come and play with them.

Our birthday tuff trays give us the perfect opportunity to support learning across several areas of the EYFS:

✨ Personal, Social & Emotional Development – Children showed kindness and respect while helping their friends celebrate, building confidence and strong friendships.

🗣️ Communication & Language – Through discussing birthday plans such as parties and other celebrations, the children practiced speaking, listening, and expressing their thoughts.

🧮 Mathematics – Counting candles, sharing treats, and talking about ages helped reinforce key number concepts.

🎶 Expressive Arts & Design – Party music and free dancing encouraged creativity and self-expression.

We also took this chance to explore British values in action:�by celebrating every child equally, regardless of background or beliefs.�giving the Children the opportunity to chose how they wanted to celebrate, whether through dancing, crafts, or games.�We allowed the children to choose the friends they wanted to join the activity first.�We also talked about keeping safe and respecting others during our party time.
It's such a joy to see how something as simple as a birthday can spark so much learning, joy, and community. We wish all the children a very happy birthday and look forward to celebrating more birthdays as we continue on through the year.

✨ Baby Room Highlights: Tooth‑Brushing Tuff Tray Fun!

Today in our baby room we pitched a parent’s question about how to encourage tooth‑brushing at home into a bright, exploratory tuff tray activity — perfect for babies to playfully engage with tooth‑brushing routines.

🗣️ Communication & Language
We chatted about tooth‑brushing, naming toothbrushes, “bristles,” “paste,” “gums,” and “teeth.” Babies listened, mimicked sounds, and practiced their new words as they explored the items. Gentle prompting like “Can you show me the brush?” and “Say ‘brush!’” helped nurture early baby babble and receptive language.

🤸 Physical Development
Picking up the toothbrushes, pretending to brush, and scooping paste from little pots all helped strengthen babies’ fine motor skills and hand–eye coordination. Wiggling the brush around also encouraged baby wrist and arm movements in a fun, real‑world context.

😊 Personal, Social & Emotional Development
Taking turns with brushes, sharing little pots, and watching each other play supported early social interaction and kind sharing behavior. Babies felt proud as they tried independently—boosting confidence and self-esteem, even at this early stage.

🌍 Understanding the World & Mathematics
Through exploration of everyday objects—tiny toothbrushes, paste pots, and containers—the babies began to understand capacity (more/less) and comparison (big brush vs. small brush). They recognized differences in texture, color, and size. This playful exploration laid early groundwork for mathematical thinking and cause‑and‑effect relationships.

🎉 Overall Engagement
The children absolutely loved the tooth‑brushing tuff tray! They were intrigued by the textures and shapes, stayed engaged throughout, and responded so enthusiastically. Many reached for the brushes again and again, babbled excitedly, and shared delighted smiles.

We’re thrilled with how this playful, developmentally rich activity turned parent advice into an unforgettable learning moment for our babies. The tuff tray provided hands‑on fun while supporting all key areas: communication & language, physical skills, personal, social & emotional growth, plus early maths and understanding the world. 😁🦷🪥
