Santa visits Narborough

St. Georges Nursery — Thu, 12 Dec 2019 12:16:36 +0000

We were lucky enough to receive a visit from Santa yesterday at Narborough during our christmas party. The children were thrilled to see him and pre-school sang him some Christmas songs. We played party games, danced and had a yummy party tea. It’s certainly starting to feel very Christmassy now.

Reading in the Early Years

St. Georges Nursery — Wed, 13 Nov 2019 15:49:47 +0000

Buster Finds His Beat is heart-warming story that encourages children to be inclusive, empathetic, understanding and welcoming when they meet other children who are different to them. The story brings awareness of diversity, captures the magic of imagination and promotes the importance of kindness.

This book alone meets several of the EYFS outcomes for children within the early years. The children in the Pre-School room today really enjoyed the story that Pamela Aculey read to them. We have had great discussions this morning about similarities and differences between us. We cannot wait till Pamela comes back to St Georges Nursery (City) to read us another one of her great stories! Please have a look on her website at https://www.justlikemebooks.co.uk

Spook-tacular stay and play with Alton Care home

St. Georges Nursery — Tue, 05 Nov 2019 14:28:27 +0000

Our pre-school children at Grace Road had some lovely visitors from the Alton care home- next door to our nursery on Thursday 31^st November 19 where we had a spook-tacular Halloween themed stay and play. Some of the children dressed up in their very creative costumes, we all decorated biscuits, make insects out of the coloured playdough, painted pumpkins, splashed around in the glitter and google eyes in the water and even had some yummy Halloween cupcakes that we ate at tea time and gave out for the elderly to take back to the care home to enjoy. Thank you all so much for the joyous afternoon that we all spent together, the interaction and care shown between our wonderful children and the elderly was truly beautiful, one of the residents even asked if they could come back over the Christmas period.

This week at the Oadby site we are proud to announce we have successfully been accredited with Millie’s Mark. Millie’s Mark is a quality mark for nurseries.

We’ve made some delicious bread at Narborough this week. We have been talking about Harvest and what it symbolises. We used our hands to knead the dough and make shapes. We had some bread with our soup for tea and some to take home.

Police visit

Last week at Grace Road we had a special visit from two lovely police ladies; we spoke about the police car- their flashing lights and their sirens, we got to try on the police hat and Hi-viz vest, we looked at the equipment that the police carry in the back of their cars such as- emergency cones and torches. Then we had a little chat about how the police help us, the children thoroughly enjoyed this visit and we would like to say a big thank you for making time in your busy day to come out and see us all.
