We love seeing the children explore numeracy in so many fun ways! From counting objects and recognising numbers, to practicing one-to-one correspondence and simple sums, every experience helps them build confidence and curiosity with numbers 🤗

Our resources got trapped in ice this week and the children worked together to rescue them! 🧊 They tested different ways to melt the ice using warm water, salt and tapping. A fun way to explore problem solving, early science and teamwork!

The children have been loving our new magnetic tiles! They’ve been working together, sharing ideas, and coming up with all sorts of creations – houses, dens, cars, trains, and more. It’s been fantastic to see their creativity in action! 😀🙌

We love spending time outdoors! ☀️ From digging in the mud kitchen, playing games, to exploring, role-playing, and getting active with physical play, there’s always so much to discover in the garden 😀

Some of the fun we’ve been having at nursery! 🎨 At Cairellot, children lead their own learning – we follow their interests and provide resources and experiences that spark curiosity, creativity, and discovery 🦋🥰

The children have been exploring floor art together, getting creative with paint, pens, and plenty of imagination 🎨 They had fun painting their hands and making handprints on the paper, drawing and painting pictures and working together to bring different ideas to life!

The children had fun exploring shredded paper! Using pans, bowls and spades, they got busy “cooking,” filling and pouring, and mixing up their own creations. There was lots of throwing, scooping, and laughing as the paper became ingredients, confetti, and everything in between!

We had an Easter chocolate raffle for our staff team as a little extra Easter treat! Well done to Fiona and Robert - we hope you enjoy your treats! 🐣🍫

Today is World Autism Awareness Day 💙 At Cairellot, we recognise and celebrate every child as an individual, creating a space where everyone feels supported, understood, and able to be themselves 🥰

After breakfast, the children wanted to help out! 🍽️✨ They practiced independence by drying the cups, stacking them, and putting them away ready for lunch. They even counted who had the biggest pile - practicing early maths while working together as a team.

Happy Easter! 🐣💮 A reminder that Cairellot Nursery is closed tomorrow for Easter Monday. We will reopen on Tuesday at 8am. We hope you're having a lovely weekend!

The children enjoyed a bug hunt out in the garden! Using their bug cards and magnifying glasses, they searched carefully to see what they could find 🐞 They worked hard to spot and match the bugs to their cards, taking a closer look and talking about what they had discovered 😀

The children have been enjoying lots of role play, exploring different everyday experiences through their play. We love seeing how the children use their imaginations to bring their ideas to life 😍

The children have been making the most of the garden, enjoying lots of outdoor play. They’ve been busy climbing, exploring, and building their confidence through physical play, as well as spending time in the mud kitchen cooking and using their imagination.

Learning about healthy choices and independence!🍌 The children have been exploring healthy foods and learning how to make good choices for their bodies. They also practised developing independence by cutting up their own bananas for snack.

A little look at some of the mark making the children have been enjoying 🎨 We always love seeing what they choose to put down on paper and how their ideas start to take shape 💭
