Visits and Visitors

We use the curriculum to enhance and broaden the experiences and opportunities available to children in our setting. We provide a wide range of exciting and stimulating activities for children, often building on their own interests. Some examples include; Forest Schools sessions; Orchard exploration; Trips offsite; and visitors to  the setting.  Below are some examples of visitors, events and trips experienced by our children:

Dave from 'The Creepy Crawly Show' sharing the story 'Oliver's Animal Adventures - the windy day', whilst introducing children to the various animals that appear throughout the story, including: a tarantula, a Californian king snake, a boa constrictor, a giant African land snail, a tenrec, a barn owl, a bearded dragon and a leopard gecko. The sessions are fully interactive and children and staff are able to touch and hold the animals, carefully following Dave's instructions. 

Every year children in F1 have the opportunity to visit Chester Zoo with a parent / carer. Below are some photographs from our most recent trip. 

The nursery welcomes parents and carers to attend workshops where they can find out more about how their children learn and also about other cultures and celebrations. Here are some photographs from an Eid craft wporkshop.
