Little Crackers

Nursery News

How exciting to think that next week we will all be back to normal. We will welcome back some familiar faces, as well as new children who have been waiting to join us, and I don’t mind saying how fabulous that will be.  However, before we move on I must say an enormous thank you to the staff, parents and children who have supported us during the last few weeks.  This latest, and hopefully last, period of lockdown has been hard on everyone, and yet our children are not merely coping, they are thriving and happy.  As parents, you must and should be proud of yourselves.

This week we have been rearranging the rooms again to accommodate the next stage of changes and the children particularly like our new ‘dining room’ where we will continue to eat hot meals each day, and the creative ‘zone’ full of opportunities to paint, draw, cut, stick, dig in the sand and explore the water.  We hope to welcome back the regular Forest School visits, as well as music and PE with the school teachers – it’s going to be great!  I wish you all a happy, safe and relaxed weekend and we will see you next week.

Little Crackers Loved World Book Day

Little Crackers Nursery celebrated their favourite books yesterday. Some children dressed up, some played out stories, others shared the stories they love and retold them to friends, then everyone joined the Very Hungry Caterpillar to munch on watermelon at snack time!

The grown-ups loved sharing their favourite stories too, and the children were able to meet Alice in Wonderland and Miss Trunchbull, even Burglar Bill tiptoed in to see what we were having for snack, he spotted the watermelon, and said, “I’ll have that!” Of course we shared it nicely. We all enjoyed World Book Day.

Latest Stay 'N' Play At Home Video Released

The latest edition of our Stay ‘n’ Play at Home virtual videos, featuring activities such as settle down for story-time, join in our sing-a-long and get creative with craft, is released today.

It’s another exciting edition full of lots of fun. This time families and their little ones can listen to the classic story of The Very Hungry Caterpillar and discover what happened after the caterpillar filled his hungry tummy. Then it was St David’s Day on Monday, so the craft activity is all about making bright yellow daffodils. And to finish there is a super sing-a-long where you can join in singing popular nursery songs including Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.

Families can join in with Stay 'n' Play at Home by emailing Jenny Vaughan at staynplay@littlecrackers.co.uk.
