In our Farm Room, our very youngest learners benefit from staff who are skilled in facilitating their learning and development by being attuned to their voice through careful and meaningful observations. The impact: we have settled, secure, and happy babies 🥰 eacEarlyYears

Our children in the Ocean Room are curious little learners! Exploring and discovering through curiosity is what they do best, supported by adults who know what they need and know how to help them grow in confidence through play. eacEarlyYears #ELC #RtA #TeamCairns

Further developing our outdoor space has been a huge focus for our ECC this year. This week, we're heading to Craighead Nursery to learn more about their excellent outdoor provision. We know we will learn from this and use this to enhance outdoor play and learning. eacEarlyYears

Cairns had a little lamb, their name is little Taffy! We had the cutest visitor today. The children are learning more about caring for living things and our pets coming to visit is really bringing this learning to life #Caring #TeamCairns eacEarlyYears

In the Farm, the children have been caring for their outdoor spaces, caring for each other, and caring for nature 🐸 They are so curious and eager to learn 🥰 #ELC eacEarlyYears #TeamCairns

In our Jungle Room, we've been upcycling our pallets, and we created a bus / pirate ship (we are versatile like that). Using real tools, the children saw the process through from design, to plan, to build, to play. #SuccessfulLearners #ELC eacEarlyYears #TeamCairns

Consulting with the children is well underway on our CIP for 2025-2026. Using our "empty Nursery" to find out what they think would make a great nursery, including the grown-ups who "help us to grow" 🥰 no one has asked for a swimming pool... yet eacEarlyYears #TeamCairns
