As the seasons change so does the weather. We have had a lot of rain recently which in turn means a muddy nursery garden!!! To help keep the children dry (and a bit cleaner) the nursery have purchased a number of waterproof trousers, perfect for those rainy days. On Monday we had the perfect weather to put them to the test. The children where in there element at being able to jump in a very muddy puddle and all had clean and trousers when they came back into nursery. The children are being encouraged to try and put on their waterproofs and wellies by themselves and we are pleased to say we are mastering a good routine. Children are aware of where their wellies are and where to put there shoes when they take them off, next on the list will now be putting on the trousers. Can we again remind you that it is part of the children’s learning and development to be out in all types of weather which can sometimes mean muddy coats or clothes. We do also have activities indoors which are messy. Could parents/careers ensure that children have some spare clothing in nursery should such a mucky occasion occur. Thank you.
