Nursery leavers trip to Barleylands

This year we took the children to a local farm. We based the trip on the story "The Little Red Hen Makes Pizza". The children made pizza from the very beginning to the end seeing it develop from flour to dough to adding the toppings and putting it in the oven. We also went on a tractor ride and had an opportunity to feed some of the animals. Some of the parents joined us as well to take part in the fun!

Dads week

We value dads at Meadgate Nursery and understand that it is important for dads to be involved in their child's learning and development. To celebrate Fathers Day we held a 'dads week' which involved the children's dads taking some time away from work or other commitments and to come and spend some time and play and to take part in some of the exciting activities we plan for the children.

We loved that we had two dads who came and brought their packed lunch to have with their child. We had several who came to read a story and to play in our redeveloped garden. It was great for the children to have male role models within the setting and we hope to make this an annual event.
