Flying Start Managers Go On Annual Away Day!

The Managers from all of our Flying Start Nurseries got together in Wadebridge for their annual Away Day!

This is a chance for all the managers to train together, enhance and improve areas of their professional practice, and get creative with trying a new skill or activity…

This year, they did a sculpting workshop with acclaimed local sculptor Richard Austin.

They all got stuck in and had a go at crafting these fantastic big clay heads!

Thank you to Richard for the expertise during the workshop, and well done to our managers for their amazing efforts. Thank you also to all our customers and families, for understanding the importance of our annual training day – so that our managers can inspire and lead!

Flying Start @ Marjon Paint To Music!

Flying Start @ Marjon Continue Their Creative Streak…

Painting to music in the garden!

Embracing the weather the children listened to fast music and slow music to explore how their painting might change!

Listening to the rhythm and choosing their colours to reflect the feel of the music the children got messy and very creative!

What a lovely way to enjoy some time outside.

Flying Start @ Marjon’s Yoga Retreat…

Flying Start @ Marjon Are Calm and Collected Even In This Hot Weather!

The children have been practicing their calm and peaceful mindset, regardless of the hot weather in their yoga sessions.

They have thoroughly enjoyed Gemma from Jittabugs coming in to nursery to support this…

Expressing themselves through music, stretches and movement is supporting the drive of the nursery to provide more creative opportunities for the children.

Taking a deep breath and embracing how we feel helps the children to be more aware of who they are and learn how to express themselves!

Flying Start @ Marjon Problem Solve and Construct Outside!

Flying Start @ Marjon’s Preschool Children Create A Problem Solving Activity!

In the garden the children used the loose parts to create their own play…

Balancing and building together the children used the downhill slope of the garden to create their own tunnel.

They used pipes, tubes and wood to create a super long structure for their balls to roll down!

Great team work and thinking skills were evident throughout the activity! Well done pre-schoolers!

Happy Father’s Day from all at Flying Start Nurseries!
