The children enjoyed a lovely Autumn walk recently. The Babies, Snowdrops and Bluebells all went together on a local walk to collect leaves, twigs and conkers to take back to nursery. Whilst out, the children enjoyed looking at all the different types of trees and leaves. This also gave the children an opportunity to learn about [...]
The children have been enjoying the great outdoors! They have been participating in some new activities that the staff have introduced following the training evening they did with @ltl_news (Learning through Landscapes) Looks great fun!

Every week, for 9 weeks, they are exploring around Woodhall Lake where the staff and children are enjoying the natural environment. They have been very interested in all the different coloured leaves falling from the trees and feeding the birds. They have [...]
The children from the Bluebells room have been constructing with different sized wooden blocks. They are developing their awareness of space, shape and measure, fine and gross motor skills, working together and creating and thinking critically. Isn't it amazing what a few wooden blocks can do to stimulate and develop young minds?!

Our children in the Toddler room have taken home these Autumn bags. We are hoping that our children can go out with their families and look at the wonderful Autumn changes happening. We can’t wait for the children to bring their bags back to nursery for us all to look at what everyone has found!
The babies have been using resources around the room (mainly animals as we have a lot of interest at the moment) and hiding objects under materials. They really enjoyed the activity, it built anticipation, concentration and sparked lots of language from them, saying ‘wow’ when finding them. You can see by their happy faces how much [...]
The children out our Halifax Nursery enjoyed a Pirate Day! They played with the sand and water, enjoying the different textures as well as lots of role pay in the sand area. They went on a treasure hunt and even found a gold coin at the end! They, of course, had fish for dinner.
The children at our Halifax nursery enjoyed a Teddy Bears' Picnic last week. They spent the day reading stories to the teddies, decorating teddy bear pictures and, most importantly, enjoyed a picnic!
