Flying Start @ Camborne Are Loving Their Summer Theme!
Toddlers have been getting stuck into our Summer Theme with lots of exciting tuff tray set ups incorporating our focused stories “Shark in the Dark” and ” Bee Kind”.
Flying Start @ Camborne Cool Down In The Heatwave!
To cool down during the recent heatwave preschool had a lovely footspa in the garden.
After a busy morning it was the perfect way to slow down and relax.
We discussed all the things we like to do on sunny days with our families and how best to keep ourselves safe and protected from the sun.
Flying Start @ Camborne Learn Through Their Theme!
This week, the children in the Day Nursery department explored seaside-themed sensory trays inspired by our termly story, ‘The Snail and the Whale’.
They enjoyed investigating sand, shells, pebbles, and sea creatures, using their senses to explore different textures and materials.
The activity encouraged curiosity, imaginative play, communication, and the development of fine motor skills as the children scooped, poured, and shared resources with their friends.
Flying Start @ Camborne Grow Potatoes!
Pre School and Toddlers have had success with our planting in the allotment with a fantastic harvest of potatoes.
We emptied the bags and hunted for our potatoes.
We can’t wait to make them into something yummy to eat!
Flying Start @ Camborne Are Going On A Bear Hunt!
The toddlers @ Camborne did a bear hunt alongside a much loved story.
Using various materials for their senses all the children removed their shoes and socks to really feel all the different parts of storyline.
We loved getting messy and using key words within the story to describe each part of our sensory walk.
We got blown away in a snowstorm and splashed/sploshed through the river.
Could you get away from the Bear as well as we did?
Flying Start @ Camborne Enjoy Literacy In The Garden!
Day Nursery @ Camborne have been loving books in the garden this week.
We cooked up yummy treats in our mud kitchen and followed our planting story alongside scooping and planting some seeds.
We can’t wait to watch them grow!
Flying Start @ Camborne Explore Colours!
Flying Start @ Camborne Day Nursery have been exploring colours outside!
They used brushes and held them with different grips to explore the colours that they painted and pressed onto various materials. The children were so engaged and it brought a bit of colour to the outside environment on a wet day!
Safe Sleep Reassurance
You may have seen the recent news sharing the best advice and updating requirements for safe sleeping for babies and young children, this has always been a priority at Flying Start Nurseries.
To help reassure you we just wanted to remind you that:
- When babies go to bed we remove their outer clothing, jumpers and hoodies, bibs, dummy clips and anything too tight on their necks
- We check the room temperature and make sure it is a comfortable temperature between 16-20 degrees
- We place babies on their backs with their feet at the bottom of the cot
- We allow the use of well fitting sleeping bags if parents want to supply them
- We check their temperature, breathing, and general wellbeing regularly and record these checks
- Older babies or children may sleep on a sleep mat, if so, they are constantly supervised by a qualified staff member
We are making a slight change to our procedure and will be resharing our policy with parents via the app, but to let you know, if babies under a year fall asleep on a walk we will always transfer them from the pram to a cot as it is safer. If children aged over 1 fall asleep in our prams, if possible we will lay the pram flat and remove/open outer clothing on their return to the setting closely supervising them sleeping.
We have made this watertight in our procedure and policy to make sure safe sleeping is always thought about!
If families need any advice or support, talk to baby staff in the nursery and take a look at The Lullaby Trust.
