Nursery
This term we have welcomed 2 new children to play with us -one in both rooms. We continue to do lots of messy activities, stories, building, and modelling. We planted some daffodils which have now bloomed. We are going to do some more planting over the coming months and have yet to decide what we will plant. We have changed our morning snack time in pre-school to having it with our breakfast.
Festivals
We celebrated Easter by doing lots of activities; we also made Mother’s day card and pancakes. Some of our friends also celebrated birthdays and we made cakes for them.
May is National Smile month so we will be encouraging you to smile more often.

We would like to say a big welcome to Sumayyah who joined our pre-school team. We also have some new friends who joined us both in pre-school and baby room. We hope that you have a great time with us and enjoy all the activities we do. We are sure that you will go home feeling very happy and can’t wait to get back to start all over again.
Some of the exciting things we have planned include looking at our senses, finding out about mini-beasts, getting ready for the winter, and sharing in the adventures of Goldilocks and the Three Bears as well as Jack and the Beanstalk. We want to make a few trips to Kew Gardens, the library, the park and the science museum.
In baby room we would also like to say welcome to a few friends who have joined us. We too have been looking at our senses, and next week we will be investigating different types of sounds. Next we will be looking at wild animals so hopefully we will be able to visit the Aquarium and Pets at Home to look at some of these animals.
We will still be doing all the painting, sticking, corn flour play, sand and water, jelly, shaving foam, pasta, cutting and drawing. As you can see we are going to be very busy so we may come home a bit more tired, and messy.

We would like to welcome 3 new friends to baby room. We hope that you will have lots of fun as we do and that we will become great friends as we share, take turns, play eat and sleep together. We have wonderful experiences every day and know that you will too.
For our activities we have been looking at transport and have been to the train station to see the driver and maybe Thomas and Percy. We have made models of cars, buses, trucks, looked at books, sang songs and rhymes that talk about the different types of transport.
Next we are going to be looking at rhymes with the numbers 1-5 e.g. 5 currant buns, 5 little monkeys, 5 little ducks to name a few. Trips we have been on were going to Snakes and Ladders, walk to Pets at home, Fun day in the park and going to the docks to feed the ducks.
We have said goodbye to one of our friends who will be going to school and over the next month we will say goodbye to some more. We hope that they will have lots of new experiences, make lots of new friends, but that they will come back and visit us when they get the chance.
We have been looking people who help us e.g. the baker and dentist and have changed round our home corner to look like a bakery and dentist office. We visited Greggs our local bakery and was able to see how they made sandwiches, saw the oven where they bake the pasties, cakes, doughnuts, and biscuits and then we bought some gingerbread men to take back with us. We also looked at foods that are healthy and unhealthy and what they do for our bodies and our teeth. We used clay to make models of food. We have also been concentrating on numbers and letters.

BuB’s 20th anniversary at Brentford

Our party on Friday 8th May went really well.
As well as lots of our current children we were delighted to have had some past children and parents attend and it was great to catch up with them to find out how they all were and how the children had adapted to their new schools.
We had lots of duck themed games, hook the duck, balloon modelling, face painting, quacking ducks, a bouncy castle and lucky dip.
We also videoed the parents to find out their views on the care and services we offer and about the experiences they have had at bringing up baby. Expressions to name a few were “thumbs up”, “brilliant”, “the best”, “we love it”, “fantastic”.
Jackie, our Operations Manager, unveiled our 20th anniversary plaque. She stated that after twenty years “we still hold to the ethos of home away from home”.
We had a fantastic ‘family of ducks’ cake as represents our company logo. This was baked by “Jolly Bakers” and was cut by Katya Thomas, our first child at Brentford and also Dylan, our most recent child to start at the nursery. We shouted three cheers of hip hip hooray and held up a glass of champagne and grape wine to toast the occasion. It was an extremely great party and enjoyed by all.
