The magic of written language starts early! When

The magic of written language starts early!

When children are surrounded by words- books, labels, signs - they naturally become curious. Without pressure, they will start mark-making in their free play, exploring letters, shapes and patterns with joy! ✨
Mark-making is the first step toward writing but most importantly- it should be fun, while their little hands are building big skills! 🙌💛✍️✏️

Our babies in Brentford have been on a delicious sensory adventure, exploring different fruits and their textures: juiciness of oranges, softness of ripe pears and melons and crunchiness of pomegranate! Every bite and squish has been a feast for their senses! ✨
Watching the babies react to new flavours, colours and textures is a beautiful reminder of how magical early experiences with food can be.

Sensory play through food encourages curiosity, fine motor skills and a love for healthy eating! 🍐🍉

Inspired by ‘The Rainbow Fish’ story our preschoolers in Teddington had a magical undersea adventure in the play dough area. Using blue play dough, sea shells, herbs and scissors, they crafted own ocean worlds, bringing their imagination to life. 🐠🌈
Through this creative play, the children explored textures, practiced their fine motor skills and embraced the joy of storytelling and sharing.🌊

How do we turn play into learning? 🏀

At our Ham setting, children are making the most of their garden, enjoying the fresh air and open space! They had so much fun aiming and throwing balls through hula hoops- a great way to develop hand-eye coordination, strengthen gross motor skills and boost confidence.

Target games like this also encourage problem solving and teamwork, as children adjust their throws and cheer each other on. Plus, nothing beats the joy of outdoor play and the freedom to move! ✨

What can you create with just some straws and connectors? 👀

Our pre-schoolers are showing us that the simplest tools can lead to the most amazing creations!
This hands-on play not only sparks their creativity and imagination, but also strengthens their fine motor skills and problem solving abilities. It’s proof that with a little curiosity and a few simple materials, the possibilities are endless! ✨

What is Subitising? ⁉️💡

Subitising is the ability to recognise the number of objects in a group instantly- without needing to count! 🎲🧠
By exposing children to number arrangements, like domino patterns, dots or dice games we help them build this vital skill. It’s a fun way to strengthen their number sense and confidence with early maths 💡
