We are officially in the festive mood now!
The Christmas trees came out of storage and the children were very excited to help decorate them. We popped on some Christmas tunes and got to work. The children shared lots of lovely stories about putting up their own trees at the weekend too.
The Christmas vibe took over other areas of the nursery as well..
Then we enjoyed a wee boogie to the Christmas music. Some of the children were even break dancing or doing ‘The worm’!
23 days to go!!
Today is the day!! It’s Christmas concert time 🎅🎶
The children have been practicing super hard the past few weeks, learning new songs and actions, including a French song and Makaton signs.
All the hard work paid off today, the children had lots fun performing in front of all their family members! What a lovely day filled with Christmas spirit 🎄. Great job, you were all fabulous!
We had a very busy day today, hosting two fabulous Christmas concerts. Both started off with a welcoming hot chocolate, complete with cream and marshmallows and what else, but a mince pie 🥧.
This gave parents the chance to chat and catch up with each other before our first indoor concert since 2019.
It was so nice to have such a busy centre, filled with the chat of families.
The children have been practising their songs all month and the hard work and rehearsals paid off as they were magnificent.
The staff have worked so hard with everyone and our families were treated to the Christmas favourites, We Wish You a Merry Christmas and of course Jingle Bells, as well as a few other songs.
Once the children had finished, we decided it was so good, we would sing it all again but this time we decided the grown ups should join in too!
Thank you all for joining us for our concerts today, we loved having you back in the centre and hope you agree with us that our Cart Mill children are super talented!
For anyone who finished up with us today, please have a wonderful break with the people you love and we will see you next year.
Santa arrived in our Garden today and gave all of the children a present. He also left presents for the children who were not here. Santa loved our Garden and he said it was the best one he had visited this year so far. 
Thank you Santa from everyone at Cart Mill Family Centre.
There were some very excited children in the centre today. As it was cold and frosty we thought it would be a good idea to light the fire and sing some Christmas songs around it, while drinking delicious hot chocolate.
We hope all the Cart Mill family have a wonderful and safe festive period.
Merry Christmas, and a very happy New Year from us all.
Thank you to all for the most generous gifts you have handed in for the staff, it is very much appreciated.
This week we are feeling very festive in the toddler room, we have been busy creating lots of lovely Christmas crafts as well as Icing Christmas biscuits and adding some Christmas sprinkles.
We made Christmas cards for our loved ones, and also added lots of tinsel and sparkle to our very own Christmas baubles which I’m sure will be admired for many Christmas’s to come.
