It was a busy May full of activities here at High Bank Day Nursery.
Children in our toddler room flew to the moon and back thanks to the amazing rockets they made as part of theme of ‘space’. Our tweenies got some respite from nice weather we had earlier in May (where did that disappear to?) by creating some moon dough. Sensory-rich experiences are important for brain development, as well as being lots and lots of fun!
Children at High Bank Day Nursery now also have a farm shop to help them develop their learning.
Part of the pre-school room has been transformed into a farm shop complete with fruit and vegetables, scales, till and pretend money.
The children are using the shop to learn everything from the difference between fruit and vegetables and which parts of the world they come from, through to how to weigh produce, set prices and give and receive change.
It’s already proving a big hit with the children.
The second of two extensions have been opened, leaving everyone feeling flushed at High Bank Day Nursery!
We now have new washrooms, including two toilets, in pre-school.
Adding this room, which also includes a large storage area, means our pre-school children now no longer need to walk to the other toilets which are located in the toddler room of the nursery.
