The nursery have a new pet- she is a Giant African Snail called Ellie. She needs to be kept warm and damp and she likes to eat peppers and cucumber. We are really enjoying learning about her.
Merry Christmas!
The staff and children wish all our families and friends a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

On Thursday the 17th and Friday 18th December, our nursery will be holding our Enterprise Days. There are some fantastic items on sale for £2, so come along and have a look!
Christmas Party!
Today was the nursery Christmas party and we had SO much fun!
We started off by having a dance off! There were some excellent moves on show!
We then sang some songs and played ‘Pass The Parcel’!
Then it was time for some special Christmas games!
After some breakdancing, we needed to sit down and have our snack.
After snack, a VERY important visitor popped by. It was Santa!
Santa told us about Christmas, he gave us some presents and we even sang a song with him!
What a great day! Thanks Santa!

Nursery was great fun today. Our party was amazing! we had party games, lovely party food and a special visitor flew in from the North Pole to deliver some early presents for us.
Christmas Enterprise
Tomorrow is a special day for us as we have our nursery Christmas party. If we are very good, we are hoping for a visit from a very special person and our parents/carers can come along at 11am/2.30pm. On Thursday and Friday, our families can buy some of the wonderful Christmas items we have made for our Christmas enterprise. For £2, our customers will be able to buy a special bag containing a card, gift tags, a tree decoration and some magic reindeer dust- what a bargain!
Our Nativity Show
The children wowed both the morning and afternoon audiences at our show, The Nativity Party. Our costumes were fabulous, our singing was amazing and our smiling faces showed just how much we enjoy performing the nativity story on stage. Well done , nursery super stars!

Care Inspectorate Visit
We were inspected by ‘Care Inspectorate’ on Monday and are delighted to inform everyone that it was a very successful report. We have been awarded ‘Very Good’ in all four areas. This is a very fitting acknowledgement for our fantastic staff and our wonderful children. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all our parents and carers for their continued support – it has paid off!
Christmas Activities
As part of our theme about Festivals, we have been learning about the festival of Christmas. We have been listening to the Nativity story at Welcome time and have a real stable with dressing up clothes where we can act out the story. We are also practicing our Nativity Play so we will be ready for the big show this Friday. We have been looking for winter patterns and can rmake our own repeating decoration patterns. Our Christmas Enterprise items are looking great too. We’ve made Christmas Tree decorations, bauble gift tags, reindeer dust and Christmas bags. They’ll all be on sale at our party next week.
