We are back!!
After a tough couple of months for everyone we are back in the swing of things here at Kenleys! Everyone has adapted really well with the return on the 1st June and we thank all the parents, staff and children. For now, this is our new 'norm' and it has worked really well. We have spaces available for any new children if anyone needs any childcare - we are here to help. We are a fully flexible nursery with space in each room (days may have limited spaces).

The Queen's birthday
This April the queen turned 90! we had a tea party for all of the children, including cups of tea (decaf), cucumber sandwiches and darling little scones!
We all spoke about the queen and why she was important to our country, we talked about what she did and where she lived.
When the preschoolers wondered why she had not attended the party we held for her, a letter arrived by Royal Mail to explain her absence.
All in all a spiffing day! thank you to all who came ready prepared in your red white and blue best!

Growing our own food
Spring is upon us and we are busy planting edible treats like this sweetcorn pictured above! as well as tomatoes, beans, peas, lettuces, cabbages, carrots and lots more! These little saplings will be planted outside in our growing garden when the weather is more reliable. The children of the nursery are encouraged to assist with the weeding, watering and tending to the plants as well as the picking and eating in the summer and autumn!
We are also having a sunflower competition to see who's plant grows the tallest! Feel free to join in from home!

Three Little Pigs Theatre Trip
We took our preschool aged children to see the production of the Three Little Pigs at the Theatre Royal earlier this month!
The children took a coach from nursery to the Theatre, sat in a lovely cushioned area inside the theatre, had a snack and made their way into see the show. All of the children (and parents!) were beautifully behaved, and thoroughly enjoyed the show, shouting at the wolf and helping him to find the pigs when they were lost!.
There were a few tears upon leaving the show as some childen didn't want it to end!

Nativity and Christmas Fayre
Haven't we had a busy December!!
We had a whole nursery Christmas meal with all children from tiny babies to our oldest preschoolers (and all staff) joining together in the main hall, to have a lovely roast cooked by our cook Lyndsey who made a two course meal, as well as decorated all the tables.
We then had a beautiful nativity play performed by all the preschoolers who learnt their lines and parts brilliantly! the christmas pudding loved being in the limelight, and baby jesus didn't cry once!

Summer Fair
What a fantastic day we had on Saturday, with many of you arriving and enjoying the activities and opportunities for your children to take part in. We were very privileged to have the fire brigade arrive, then to leave and come back after being called out to a shout. Some children enjoyed climbing through the engine whilst others enjoyed wearing the safety hats that the crew wear.
