On Monday 6th July 2015, Flying Start Nurseries were delighted to celebrate the official opening of their new nursery building on site at Marjon College. The new nursery opened its doors to children and families last Monday, to widespread excitement!
The nursery’s opening was attended by Sharon and Steve Cowburn, the owners of Flying Start Nurseries Ltd, and nursery manager VicCochrane.
The new nursery, which was designed by Sharon and Steve Cowburn in collaboration with Marjon University in 2013, is
a beautiful eco-nursery with wood cladding.
The nursery opens on to a covered deck and boasts an extensive landscaped garden.
The creation of this remarkable building has included over 1km of underfoot heating pipes,
50 tons of soil, and half a field of turf!
The result is a purpose-built nursery, which combines a stunning eco-design aesthetic with specifically designed features, to
provide children with an unrivalled learning environment.
The children and parents are thrilled with their new nursery building, and the committed staff team at Flying Start Marjon
are looking forward to continuing to provide high quality childcare in their exciting new setting.
Other special guests at theopening were Olaf, Peppa Pig, and Spiderman!
If you would like to join in the fun book in now !
Flying Start @ Marjon are making the most of the rain… with powder paint outside balloons!
Throwing the balloons to see the powder explode into the puddles …
There were different colours everywhere, so the children used their wellies, their hands and paintbrushes to explore mixing the colours in the rain!
This activity also really developed speaking and listening, as the children excitedly predicted what was going to happen next and shouted out what they could see happening, using different language and descriptive words.
What an unusual, but very expressive way to explore the paints and the rain together!
Flying Start @ Marjon have created some dinosaur fun…
Tyres, pinecones, mud, bark, stones and branches and all things natural that the children have been finding around the garden have contributed to the dinosaur home!
The children even added in a bowl of water so the dinosaurs could have a drink and built dens for them to live in!
Flying Start @ Marjon’s pre school department have been learning about life cycles, with a focus on the life cycle of a frog…
The children have been reading a factual book about spawn, tadpoles and frogs and then using this information to make sequences with photographs of the different stages in the life cycle.
And now they are extending their learning with real life frogs, who they are looking after!
