Extracurricular Activities

The following extracurricular activities are offered by the nursery. For information about when they take place and the nature of any additional charge, please consult the Nursery Manager.

Forest School

Our in-house Forest School sessions give children the chance to explore, play, and learn in a natural outdoor environment. Through hands-on, child-led activities, they build confidence, independence, and important life skills. It’s a wonderful way for children to connect with nature while having fun.

Kids Lingo

Kidslingo’s aim is to inspire young children, from birth to 11 years, to love languages from the very start of their language learning journeys. Learning a new language provides young children with a range of cognitive, social, and emotional benefits that contribute to their overall mental health and well-being.

Tiny Tots P.E

In an era of increasing screen time, Tiny Tots P.E provides the spark children need to stay active. Their 30-minute toddler and preschool P.E. sessions use exciting, child-friendly themes to turn every lesson into a world of adventure, inspiring a lifelong love of movement.

Leapfrog Sports

Leapfrog Sports classes are more than just physical, centred around the children having fun and developing their personal and social skills. It provides a way for children to be active and start to get involved with sport from an early age, which will help them on the first steps to achieving a lifelong love of sport and all the benefits that being active brings.

Baby Ballet

Baby Ballet is a mixture of song, dance and sensory exploration for children aged between 6 and 18 months.  A teacher from the award-winning Babyballet Song & Dance Academy (www.babyballet.co.uk) visits the nursery every week and expertly helps the children to express themselves in a safe and caring environment.  As well as being great fun, the classes help the children to develop confidence, balance, co-ordination and social skills.

Rhythm Time

This is a weekly class for the under 2’s, led by a teacher from Rhythm Time (www. rhythmtime.net), which focuses upon music and movement. It provides the children with a well-thought-out musical experience which involves singing and playing instruments. In addition to promoting confidence, creativity and co-ordination, it teaches children to sing in tune and is an excellent preparation for any child who wishes to play a musical instrument when they get older.

Football

Coach Lee attends nursery once a month to teach the children core football and movement skills and also to develop their awareness of shapes, colours, simple numbers and social skills.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and all the staff at the nursery these past two years.  The care and learning environment you have provided has given our daughter the best start to her education and more.  All the ladies who have looked after our daughter have been wonderful and genuinely caring.
