✨ A morning in the life of a Tiny Acorns Practitioner 🌱

Before we open our doors at 8am, there’s lots happening behind the scenes to make sure our nursery is ready for a happy, safe and welcoming start to the day.

👋 Signing in & settling in
Practitioners begin their day by signing themselves in and registering their phones. This helps our managers know exactly who is on site in case of an emergency, as well as where mobile devices are located.

🔍 Morning safety checks
Once in their rooms, practitioners complete their morning checklists. This includes checking for any potential hazards in the room and garden, checking the water temperature and making sure there is fresh air circulating throughout the room.

🥣 Breakfast preparation
Breakfast starts promptly at 8am, so the team gets everything ready beforehand. We make sure the children have everything they need to enjoy their breakfast and, wherever possible, self-serve — encouraging independence and giving children a positive start to their day.

There’s lots of preparation that happens before the first little ones arrive, but every detail helps us create a safe, nurturing and welcoming environment for our children. 💛🌱

With the warm weather, our babies have been enjoying lots of exciting water play! 💦 This week, we created a fun beach-themed tuff tray filled with colourful water and sand. 🏝️✨

We added little boats 🚤 and sea animals🐙 for the babies to explore. They loved splashing the animals in the water, moving the boats around, and discovering all the different textures and objects. 💦😊

It was a wonderful sensory experience that encouraged curiosity, exploration and lots of smiles! 🌊

Our Preschool children had lots of fun learning about the importance of handwashing and good hygiene through a hands-on activity! 💦🧤

The children used water, paint, gloves and pipettes to explore how germs can spread and why washing our hands thoroughly is so important. We talked together about when we should wash our hands, how to wash them properly, and how good hygiene helps to keep ourselves and others healthy. 🫧👏

The Tiny Acorns Preschoolers are in a great habit of always making bubbles when they wash their hands and to count to 20 for a proper clean!

🌈✨ Sensory Room Adventures! ✨🌈

This week, our little ones have been having lots of fun exploring our sensory room! 🥰

We enjoyed some exciting sensory discos 🎶, listening to music, moving along to the sounds and exploring all the wonderful sensory resources around us.

The babies were fascinated by our textured and colourful mirrors 🪞🌈, enjoying looking at their reflections and discovering themselves. They also had lots of fun exploring our sensory toys, investigating the different textures, colours, shapes and sounds through hands-on play. 👋

It was lovely to see so much curiosity, wonder and excitement as the babies explored their surroundings and enjoyed this special sensory experience together. ✨🎵

This week we explored the fascinating topic of solar eclipses! 🌞🌑 The children enjoyed drawing their own pictures of an eclipse and talking about what happens when the Moon passes in front of the Sun. We also made sure to discuss the importance of not looking at the eclipse directly and what we could use to protect our eyes.

We enjoyed reading a book about adverse weather 🌦️, learning new words and sharing our ideas about the different things we see in the sky.

A lovely day of learning, creativity and curiosity! ☀️📚🎨

With the cooler but still warm weather, the toddlers have been busy getting out and about, exploring the environment around them on walks through the village! 🌳☀️

The toddlers did an amazing job holding onto the walking rope and staying together as we looked at all the different things around us. While on our walk, we spotted lots of bins! The children noticed that some were blue and green, which sparked a conversation about recycling and what different things we can put into our recycling bins. ♻️🗑️ The toddlers were full of ideas as we sharing ideas with one another. This was especially lovely to see the children's enthusiasm shine through as we have become an Eco Setting.🌍

When we stopped for a well-deserved drink break, we were very excited to spot a bin lorry! 🚛 The toddlers eagerly waved to the bin men and women as they went past. 👋

It was so lovely to see the toddlers’ curiosity shine as they explored a different environment, noticed what was happening in their local community and learnt more about caring for the world around them. 🌿

This week at nursery, our little learners have been busy getting creative outdoors! 🌿🪵

We've been making signs for our mud kitchen, building bug hotels to welcome mini wildlife visitors, and learning all about caring for nature along the way. 🐞🪲

We're also delighted to share that we have achieved our Eco Accreditation! 🌍💚 This is a wonderful recognition of all the hard work our children and staff have put into looking after our environment and developing sustainable habits.

We're so proud of everything they've accomplished and can't wait to continue our eco journey together! 🌱✨

✨ Books That Boogie – Rainbow Fish! 🌈

This week's Books That Boogie session was all about the wonderful story of The Rainbow Fish! 🌊💙

We had so much fun exploring the story through play, songs and sensory activities. The children loved wearing their animal and sea creature headbands, playing with our fish-themed props, and getting hands-on with shimmering sequins and lots of different textures inspired by Rainbow Fish's beautiful scales. ✨🐟

Our toddlers enjoyed a little adventure over to the school car park, where we were excited to watch the diggers hard at work! 👷🚜 The toddlers were fascinated as they watched the big machines move, lift and dig, pointing out all the different parts and chatting about what the diggers were doing.

Afterwards, we found the perfect shady spot under a tree to cool down and enjoy a story together. 🌳📖 Sitting together in the fresh air created such a calm and relaxing atmosphere, and the children loved listening to the story while enjoying the gentle breeze.

Outdoor experiences like these help to develop children's language and communication skills, encourage curiosity about the world around them, and promote storytelling. It was a wonderful outing full of learning, imagination and smiles! 💚✨
