Wellbeing Wednesday

This month we had our first Wellbeing Wednesday. The children were invited to dress in brown clothing and the nursery provision was enhanced brown to use every opportunity to teach the children about the colour brown










The children learnt about handwashing and how to wash our hands properly. This was discussed with their key workers during group time, talking about the importance of handwashing and when we wash our hands. The children then carried out a practicle activity washing their hands. Handwashing was re-enforced during snack time when practitioners talked to children about washing away germs ready to eat.




Monday 26 September 2016


We are asking our parents for cake donations for our MacMillan ‘Come and Eat Cake’ session on Friday 30th September. Cakes will be put on sale to raise money for this worthy cause. Please bring all your donations in by 9.00am on Friday 30th September.



Well Being Wednesday


Wednesday 28th September is our first Wellbeing Wednesday of a new academic year. Our Well Being Wednesdays provide a focussed opportunity for us to teach children about different aspects of well being and enable us to provide additional support for our families too. Each Well Being Wednesday children are asked to dress in a particular colour. The colours link to the months of the year. This month is Brown (for Autumn) please dress your child in brown clothing. This helps make the day stand out more for children and encouarges children to learn about colours. The children will also be learning about Handwashing through songs and activities and parents will be given advice on quitting smoking. For further information on support for quitting smoking please speak to our Oral Health Champion, Roxy or see our display in the cloakroom.

Welcome Back.........................................

Welcome back everyone to the begining of a new term. We hope everyone has had a lovely summer. We are begining our Autumn term with our topic "All About Me" this will revolve around settling children into nursery and finding out all about them and their families. Children are asked to bring in photographs of their families to talk about and display in nursery.
