March was a busy month at Playgroup and we have had so much fun 😃

For World book day we mixed up tasty gruffalo crumble, the tiger came to tea and ate everything! 10 little pirates all went splash and Humpty Dumpty fell off the wall over and over again! 🐯

We had a week dedicated to our teeth - we used toothbrushes to paint and clean. We examined our smiles in the mirrors. The dolls even got a full dental check up too! 🦷🪥

We celebrated our lovely mums and made beautiful flowers and pretty flower potions 🌸

We the finished up the term with an eggtastic celebration - collecting eggs, making our own colourful eggs and filling egg boxes 🐣

We also said farewell to some of our children who are now ready to move onto their next stage. It has been wonderful to watch you all grow over the last year, we will miss you 💙💙💙

We have been so so busy the last few weeks. We have had a food theme and have enjoyed making our own creations from hot chocolates and cakes, to pizzas and pancakes. We had a little sprinkling of love thrown in over valentines making sparkly love potions, salt dough hearts and sending letters to our loves 💗 The weather has starting improving allowing us to get outside again too to play in the garden. We look forward to what the next few weeks bring up to the Easter holidays 🐥

Last week was Frozen week ❄️ We enjoyed playing with our snowy animal friends in the icy wonderland we created ❄️ We made our very own snowmen ⛄️ We had messy fun creating animal foot prints in the snow and at the end of the session we had lots of sleeping penguins 🐧🐧🐧🐧

We were delighted to be back to chreche this week. We had lots of fun playing with our friends, splashing in the water tray, drawing self portraits and creating sparkly new year pics ✨️ We even braved the cold for some outside play ❄️. We also enjoyed celebrating one of our friends 3rd birthday 🎉 We look forward to seeing everyone again next week 🙂

Well, thats a wrap! The last two weeks of term have been all about the glitter, twinkly lights and everything Christmas. We have been crafting, making reindeer food, playing in snowy fields with our animals, and decorating the christmas tree 🎄

We also said a fond farewell to our little leaver. Whilst we will miss her big smiles and fun ways, we know she's ready for her next big adventure!

We wish you all a lovely Christmas and look forward to seeing you in the New Year 🎄🎅

We have been busy busy the last few weeks at Creche. We have had fun recreating some of our favourite nursery rhymes - humpty certainly fell off the wall many times! Then we were busy zooming around with our favourite vehicles. Making tracks with the paint and the car wash were definite favourites!

We have been fully embracing the season at our outdoor group with spooky Halloween fun including scooping out pumpkins and making our own swooshy fireworks 🎆 🎃

As we move into the colder months we will still have lots of outdoor fun (weather dependent) and then move indoors for a snack and to warm up for story and songs. We still have a couple of spaces - come along and join us 😊
