Happy New Year!!

We hope that everyone had a lovely Christmas Break and Happy New Year; we have started off the year busily taking down all our Christmas decorations and preparing for another busy year.

We would like to start off by welcoming some new faces to Nursery, and sadly say to farwell to some children. We say farewell to 5 children.  We welcome one child to the under twos room and Cristina to our over two’s staff team.

The over two’s room has been focussing on developing some of its area’s within the room. Staff have been introducing more mark making for the children to help encourage to learn recognise the alphabet and to be able to recognise their own names. Name cards have been made for all children, with use in the mark making area.  . Name cards are also being used throughout the day in simple acitivities to encourage children to recognise their names.  Children have all been provided there own book which they can use in the mark making area and are able to take home to show there families what they have been doing.

The Under two’s have just learnt about all things red, the children have collaged, painted, coloured many things that are red including Strawberries, bus, Cherries, Apples, and many more. Next the under two’s will be looking at all the different farm animals noises they make what colour they are.

Parents Testimonial:

"Every morning my son wakes up and tells me that we are going to Nursery today with a big smile on his face. I believe this is due to the caring nature of the staff, the developmental environment and the enjoyment he experiences each morning."
