Corner House Nursery

Toddler Room children have loved the water play activities this week! They had so much fun splashing about in the water trays. The water was very refreshing for the children and they thoroughly enjoyed using different tools, such as bowls and cups, to scoop up the water and and pour into other pots and pans and over each other as well to cool themselves down.

Babies have enjoyed playing with all the mirrors in the room this week. Following their reflection in the large mirror on the floor and smiling at themselves in the mirror blocks as they built towers. Mirrors provide babies with essential cognitive, motor and social development through tracking movements in their reflections, building muscles during tummy time, developing hand and eye coordination when balancing the blocks and eventually helping to develop early self-awareness and language skills.

One of our children’s Mummies has written a lovely book called ‘The Wizard’s Assistant’, a magical tale about honesty and kindness, and came in today to read it to our PreSchool & Nursery Class. The children listened to the story so nicely and then had fun joining in with the props and helped to act out the story

🌱 Little Gardeners at Work! 🌱
Our preschoolers have been busy getting their hands dirty and learning all about planting and growing! We’ve planted strawberry plants, potatoes, and a wonderful selection of herbs including sage, spearmint, rosemary, thyme, and lemon thyme. 🍓🥔🌿
The children have been carefully looking after their plants by watering them, observing changes, and watching them begin to grow. It’s been a fantastic way to encourage curiosity, responsibility, and a love for nature.
We were especially proud when we harvested some of our sage and shared it with our chef to use in our lunch — what a special moment seeing our efforts come full circle!
A lovely hands-on experience supporting our understanding of the natural world and where our food comes from.

Eid Mubarak to everyone!!! The children enjoyed taking part in activities to celebrate Eid Mubarak, from drawing around their hands and designing their own patterns to represent henna patterns, to building their own mosques with building blocks. 🌙🕌❤️
