Baby room have been hatching their own chickens for the nursery farm. Now they are a little bigger they have been moved into a bigger house in the baby garden. 🐣 Preschool are also hatching eggs, and have just 17 days until their ducklings are here! 🦆
As previously shown, we have continued to develop our well loved outdoor areas. Outdoor play is one of our main focuses at the nursery and we always continue to improve our environment using the childrens interests. We have recently added an art easel to the garden area, with clear Perspex, the children love painting watching their friends either side.
For Mother's day the children and staff at the nursery invited all of their Mums to an afternoon tea. Children within each class made sandwiches, scones, fruit platters, jam and cakes for everyone to enjoy. Staff served hot drinks, and decorated our outside environment with pink blossom trees and seating. All of the Mummies enjoyed their afternoon spent with the nursery and their children. Thank you to everyone who came, it was so lovely to spend time with you all.
