Prep 1 Junior had so much fun in the garden on Friday with the water pistols. They started off taking part in a number activity whereby they had to identify a certain number before squirting it. This inevitably turned into a huge water fight in the garden which everyone found hilarious (including the staff). What a fun way to cool down ๐Ÿ’ฆ

๐Ÿ‡ Caring for the rabbits ๐Ÿ‡

We are so lucky to have our very own rabbits here at nursery. The children love nothing more than offering to help care for them, whether it be feeding them, helping to tidy the hutch or just having a little chat with them.

Learning about, interacting, and communicating with animals strengthens not only your little one's brain, but their heart too ๐Ÿฅฐโค๏ธ

We are so pleased & proud to announce that once again we have been recognised as one of the top 20 day nurseries in the North West of England for 2024. The staff work so hard day in day out to provide a caring environment that is safe, happy, stable and help the children foster a belief that learning is fun, as well as creating inquisitive, thoughtful lifelong learners. So to be recognised in this way means so much to The Cottage Nursery Team. Once again thank you to our amazing parent's & staff because without your continued support and hard work we wouldn't be the nursery we are today. ๐Ÿฅฐ

Today Prep One Junior went on their trip to Manchester Academy of Gymnastics. Unfortunately the tram was taking a while this morning so we walked the full way from nursery to the gymnastics centre, but the children did brilliantly with this walk, we were very proud of them!

When we arrived at the centre the children were eager to take their coats and shoes off so they could explore. They ran wild, jumped off vaults, swung off high bars, bounced on trampolines, practised their balancing, played with a variety of toys, ran up and down the tumbling track, got lost in the foam pits and much more.

After 2 hours of very tiring exploring, we were able to sit down for some lunch. The children enjoyed some sandwiches, crisps, savoury snacks and cakes, along with some juice.

On the way home the children were very good again, as a lot of children were excited for a tram ride we waited at the tram stop for a short while so we could deliver what we had promised to the children, they then conquered the big hill up Church Street to finally arrive back at nursery!

We all had a fantastic day, the children were an absolute credit and I'm sure they will all sleep well tonight!

Thank you to our lovely parent helpers who were able to support on the trip, we hope you're not too tired after a busy morning๐Ÿ˜‚.

Today the children are celebrating 'World Art Day' here at nursery. The younger children have all enjoyed painting on a large scale. They used different utensils to create their own unique marks including their hands and feet! They even took the paint outdoors to create colourful puddles before enjoying a good old splash!

Painting is a way for children to do many important things, such as expressing their emotions and exploring different senses. Exploring with paint not only helps their creative development but it also stimulates their brain.
