Wow what a busy couple of weeks we have all had here at Millie’s House!!
We have been welcoming lots of new families on tours around the nursery and are now busy preparing for our Open Day on Saturday 11th May 2013 from 10 o’clock until 2 o’clock. If you would like to view the nursery on this day please contact Laura on the nursery details below for an appointment or if you are passing by please feel free to pop in and see us!

Over the last couple of weeks the children have been exploring the local environment with daily walks to the park, the local library and to the pond to feed the ducks. The trip to see the ducks sparked a particular interest in animals and on their return to the nursery they continued to learn about fish, birds, dogs, cat and rabbits. Extending the children’s learning further, the team took them out the next day for an adventure to the local pet shop where they learnt about all sorts of different creatures! Please do have a look at the wonderful photographs of your inquisitive little ones peering into the tanks and also at their animal collages made out of lots of different materials!

Our daily walks not only give us a little fresh air and exercise, promoting our health and wellbeing, they also enable us to explore and learn about the world around us!

‘Understanding the world: The world
Positive Relationships:
Arouse awareness of features of the environment in the setting and immediate local area, e.g. make visits to shops or a park.

Enabling environments:
Use the local area for exploring both the built and the natural environment’
(Development Matters in the Early Years Foundation Stage, EYFS)
 
If you would like further information on the Early Years Foundation Stage, the curriculum we follow here at Millie’s House, please speak to Miss Laura for a ‘Parents guide to the EYFS’ or visit www.foundationyears.org.uk

Please do not forget, if you would like your child to play a starring role on Wednesday 24th April in photographs for our prospectus and website, to complete a written permission form. Please see Laura for further details.

We wish you all a fantastic week ahead!
