On Friday, some of our pre-schoolers went out for a walk to collect some Autumn treasures for their creative activities. They discussed road safety on the way there, and were really cautious of the cars and the zebra crossing, showing excellent understanding of the road safety rules! 🚦🚸
When they arrived they discovered not only lots of leaves...but a see-saw! Some of the children (and adults) simply had to have a go☺️
When the children got back to Nursery, they wanted to show their friends the leaves and flowers they had collected and got busy creating some Autumnal masterpieces! 🍁

🍕PIZZA MAKING🍕
Katie in the discoverers room created a lovely "pizza making" activity, where the children placed various toppings onto the base. The children had so much fun, and showed such high levels of engagement, that Katie popped to the shop to get ingredients for the children to make real pizza! 🧀
The children refined their fine motor skills and hand-eye co-ordination as they rolled the pastry, spread the sauce and sprinkled on some cheese. The children had help to cut and roll the pizza's into pinwheels. Katie then popped the tray into the kitchen to Ros and Emma (our wonderful chefs👩🍳) and voila, the children took home some yummy pizza pinwheels! DELICIOUS!🍴

Happy 1 year to Ruby G!
Ruby is based in our investigators room and plays a massive role in the smooth running of the day. Thank-you for all your hard work Ruby, we really appreciate you!
We heard a little rumour that Ruby may or may not have been to the Taylor Swift concert TWICE so a Taylor Swift tote bag filled with chocolate was right up her street!

Following our staff inset day on Monday 2nd September, I would like to share with you what training we delivered to our team and what impact this will have on the Nursery.
At Monkey Puzzle, Safeguarding is at the forefront of our minds, and we empower our staff to speak up and speak out if they have a concern. We question daily regarding safeguarding and look at different scenarios in our monthly team meeting, along with yearly training online from an external provider. On Monday, we refreshed our teams’ knowledge on whistleblowing and went more in depth on other key safeguarding topics. Our team are confident and secure on what steps to take if they have a concern regarding a member of staff or a child and know what to do if they need to escalate their concern. The training delivered will support our continuation of a “culture of safeguarding” that we are so proud to uphold.
Curriculum training was delivered to the whole team, with an emphasis on various philosophies, pedagogy, child development and theorists. They discussed how the curriculum is to be tailored for the needs of all children within their rooms and to be ambitious with their goals to maintain a high standard of quality teaching across the Nursery.
We finished the day with some well-being training to allow the staff to take charge of their own mental well-being and how to communicate effectively when they need help or support within their work or personal lives. Thank-you to Helen for delivering such a lovely training session and letting us smell some different essential oils! ... See MoreSee Less
