Discoverers’ Adventures in Norway!
This past week, the Discoverers continued their global journey by exploring Norway! We had lots of fun creating reindeer crafts and diving into the sights and sounds of a traditional Norwegian fish market. The children learned about different types of fish, practiced using money, and enjoyed roleplaying as shoppers and sellers – a fantastic way to build real-world skills through play!
We also revisited a sweet treat from a few weeks ago – our delicious homemade Eton Mess! It was a great way to reflect on past activities and enjoy the fruits of our earlier efforts. ... See MoreSee Less

It’s been a buzzing week here at the nursery! 🐝💛
All of our rooms joined in a fun, bee-themed week—creating beautiful displays filled with creativity and colour. The highlight? A sweet honey tasting session where the children explored different flavours and textures.
A big well done to everyone for making it such a hive of activity! 🍯🌼 ... See MoreSee Less

Our Explorers have had a fantastic time getting hands-on with texture this week!
They explored through a variety of sensory activities—from baking tasty treats to building with a unique conditioner-and-sand mixture. They also discovered the Swedish flag 🇸🇪 and, with the warm weather, enjoyed plenty of refreshing water play outdoors! 💦☀️
It’s been a week full of learning, creativity, and fun! ... See MoreSee Less

Star of the week✨
The star goes to our wonderful Grace in the Toddler room. She always has a beautiful smile on her face and willing to support the children, the team and the parents and go above and beyond for everyone.
She is a massive asset to our team. And we are so lucky to have her :)

Star of the week ⭐️
This week it was so hard to choose just 1 staff member, that we decided to choose all 3!
A massive thank you and well done to our amazing senior team Charlie & Ellie in our pre-school room.
Last week saw the opening of the cabin, which we have lovingly called our ‘Learning Lodge’ and we asked both Charlie & Ellie to help ensure the smooth running of this project, yes we still have a few little wrinkles to iron out, but it has been a huge success thanks to their hard work and dedication.
Along the way we introduced one our newest team members, the lovely Melany who also got star of the week, because she has settled in so well and has built amazing rapports with the children and staff already, it feels as if she has been here months, not days.
A very big thank you to all 3 of these wonderful staff ⭐️⭐️⭐️
