🌺 Remembrance Day at Nursery
Today, we took a moment to remember and say thank you to all the brave people who have helped keep us safe - in the past and present. At Thorney Island Nursery, we talk about Remembrance in simple, gentle ways our little ones can understand. Today we made poppies, shared stories about kindness and peace, and have had a quiet moment together to think about people who help others - including our own military families. We are so proud of our children and the strength they show a

Autumn and Halloween fun
We have had a wonderful week at nursery exploring Autumn and Halloween. The children have been busy making potions, scooping out pumpkins, painting bats and spooky witches, and discovering how the leaves fall from the trees with their beautiful colours. The week finished with the staff and children dressing up in costumes and having a party, with dancing and delicious Halloween treats. Everybody had a brilliant time.

Tuff trays - the adventure begins
Every day at nursery, both rooms set up a tuff tray to give the children something new and exciting to explore. Sometimes it ties in with our weekly theme, and other times it’s inspired by something the children have been curious about or enjoyed recently. Here’s a peek at some of the amazing tuff tray creations our wonderful staff have put together -encouraging the children to use their senses, spark their imaginations, and dive into new little adventures each day!
