Little Lambs at Lambley Day Nursery

Encouraging our children to self-serve at mealtimes helps them develop important life skills while building confidence and independence. 🍎🥛

Choosing their own food, pouring drinks, and serving themselves gives children a wonderful sense of achievement and encourages decision-making, coordination, and responsibility.

We love seeing their growing independence and pride as they master these everyday skills, one meal at a time! 🌟

🪥 Self-Care at Little Lambs 🪥

Today, we asked the children to bring in their own toothbrushes from home as part of our self-care activities. We talked about the importance of keeping our teeth clean, how often we should brush them, how long for, and the best brushing techniques to use.

The children had lots of fun practising their brushing skills using mirrors and were very proud of their gleaming smiles afterwards! 😁✨

Learning about healthy habits can be so much fun, and the children did a fantastic job taking care of their teeth today.

We may even have a visit from someone very special in a few weeks to help us learn even more and continue our self-care topic… 👀🦷

Watch this space for more exciting updates!

Today we combined Child Safety Week with World Bicycle Day for a fun-filled learning experience! 🚦🚲

The children explored road safety by learning about the different coloured traffic lights and what they mean, as well as the red and green crossing signals. They did a fantastic job stopping at stop signs and knew exactly when to stop and let our nursery ladies safely cross the road! 👏

We also wore our helmets and talked about why they are so important when riding bikes and scooters, helping us to understand how to stay safe while having fun.

A wonderful day of learning, exploring and developing important safety skills through play! 💚

🌊🪣 The Importance of Sand & Water Play in Early Years 🪣🌊

Sand and water play are more than just fun activities — they are essential for children’s learning and development in the early years. Through pouring, scooping, digging, and exploring textures, children build important skills in a natural and engaging way.

✨ Benefits of sand and water play:
• Encourages creativity and imagination
• Develops fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination
• Supports language and communication through shared play
• Introduces early maths and science concepts like measuring, volume, floating, and sinking
• Promotes problem-solving and critical thinking
• Provides calming sensory experiences that support emotional wellbeing

Most importantly, children learn best when they are actively exploring, discovering, and having fun! 💛

They will practice:

* Understanding quantities and simple maths concepts
* Developing independence and confidence

The session also supports fine motor skills, communication, and turn-taking. Children will enjoy tasting the delicious treats once they are complete.

Open Evening at Little Lambs 🐑✨

Thank you to all our mummies and daddies who attended and took the time to experience what a day at Little Lambs involves.

We had some lovely feedback, wonderful conversations, and it was so nice to be able to share a glimpse into our days with your little ones.

“Wow! We had no idea what extent you guys go to in the course of a day! Thanks so much for helping us see a glimpse of ###’s day with you. Now we know why he asks whether it’s ‘nursery day’ every day - even on the weekends!”

Thank you all for your continued support 💛
