We are going to be spreading some EXTRA kindness across nursery, and around the Aldridge village, during the week of Monday 12th - Friday 16th February. So look out for our ‘Random Acts of Kindness’, and we really hope that others can share some kindness too!  #Randomactsofkindness #kind #beingkind #encouraging #spreadinglove #sharingkindness
 Thank you to all of the children that took part in 'My first poem'. All poems that were completed and brought back to nursery have now been sent off. We are super excited to hear back from young writers.
My first poem asks pre school children to complete a poetry template that "celebrates their uniqueness and their favourite person. It captures their likes at this time in their life, making a lovely keepsake." It supports the EYFS literacy requirements, and the Early Learning Goal of being imaginative and expressive. If you didn't participate this year, we are sure we will be taking part again next year. For any more information on this, please visit: https://www.youngwriters.co.uk/  We are having an Easter Fun Day, here at nursery on Saturday 16th March 2024. All children that attend The Old Railway House Nursery are invited to join us with their families for lots of Easter fun. Parents/carers will receive an email very soon with more information on this, including times. We really hope you can all make it, and look forward to having lots of Easter fun with you!  May we take this time to thank each and every one of you for your continued support throughout 2023, we hope the new year brings you all lots of joy and happiness. We have lots planned for 2024, including working together with you - we want to get our parents/carers more involved in nursery, meaning we are going to be holding a lot more workshops here at nursery, having more stay and play sessions, and lots lots more. "Our nursery is built on our team", and that is why we believe that staff well-being is the heart of our values. We are going to be introducing 'Buddy systems', encouraging more peer support and working closely with mentoring from our Management team. We are going to be making some changes to our nursery garden, working hard on the different areas for our children to enjoy exploring. We are going to be giving our 'growing area' some TLC, and focusing lots on planting our own fruit, veg, and salad for our children to enjoy! There will be a workshop for this, for any parents/carers that want to help out, so keep an eye out for more information on this coming soon in the New Year. From all of us here, at The Old Railway House Nursery, we wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
