Park Day Nursery

Yesterday, some of the Squirrels set off on a brilliant adventure to Reading Central Library to join in with Rhyme Time at the brand-new library. The children were thrilled to explore their new surroundings, showing wonderful curiosity, excitement, and enthusiasm as they looked all around.Rhyme Time was bursting with fun and energy! The Squirrels joined in amazingly, singing lots of their favourite nursery rhymes, learning cheerful new songs together, and listening beautifully to the stories. To make the morning even more memorable, they had the very exciting chance to meet the Mayor!
It was a fantastic morning packed with discovery, singing, storytelling, laughter, and exciting new experiences.

🚒Fire Truck Visit🚒

On Friday, our Badgers Preschool children had an exciting visit from the local fire service!! They loved exploring the fire engine, trying on firefighters' uniforms , and learning about the important role firefighters play in keeping our community safe. A huge thank you to the firefighters for taking the time to visit us at Park Day Nursery.

Across the nursery the children had a wonderful time celebrating World Day for Cultural Diversity 🌍✨

The children explored different cultures through music, food, stories, crafts, dancing and sensory activities while learning about kindness, inclusion and respecting others.

Throughout the day, the children enjoyed exploring musical instruments, creating flags and artwork inspired by different countries, taking part in Eid-themed activities and learning about traditions and celebrations from around the world. Some children proudly shared artwork from home.

It was beautiful celebration of diversity, kindness and inclusion within our nursery family ❤️🌎

See what fun, FREE activities are happening for under 5s at Reading Family Hubs this half term.

Register with your local Family Hub to attend.

🐝 A Buzzing Visit at Forest School! 🍯🌿

We had the loveliest surprise in our Badgers pre-school room during Forest School we welcomed Tony from the Bee Association in Reading! The children were absolutely captivated as Tony showed us how bees build their hives and work together as a super-busy team to make honey.

Out in the fresh air, we explored the wonderful world of bees, spoke about why they’re so important for our flowers and plants, and even got to try a little taste of honey 🍯 — lots of happy “yum!” faces all round.

To finish, the children got hands-on and made their very own beeswax candles to bring home — what a gorgeous little keepsake (and they were very proud of their work!). A big day of learning, exploring, and having fun in nature 🐝✨

A huge thank you to Tony for a fantastic visit — you really made our Forest School session bee-rilliant!
