Flying Start Nurseries Have Signed Up To End Mental Health Stigma!

May 6, 2015/in Camborne, Cornwall College, Marjon, Milestones, Redruth

Flying Start Nurseries have signed up to the ‘Time To Change’ initiative!

As a company we are pledging to end mental health stigma.

We are working towards being a more ‘mental health aware’ company, so that our staff are well supported and our children learn about mental health as well as physical health through their play and feel safe and supported in doing so.

So far we have revised our Stress Management policy that all staff follow and Directors and Managers company wide are undertaking specialist Mental Health Awareness Qualifications, to increase their knowledge of mental health symptoms, signs and illnesses and create a skill set to better support their own staff team.

We are also developing wellness walls, comfort corners and special circle time resources … these initiatives are up and coming to keep your eye on the blog for more information!

Flying Start @ Marjon’s World Book Day Fun!

March 11, 2015/in Marjon

Flying Start @ Marjon celebrated World Book Day with lots of dressing up!

The children and staff all dressed up as their favourite characters and used their clothes to explain who they were, what story they were from and then with the older children remembering the key events of the story.

Some of the staff’s dressing up was very appropriate for a big physical game in the garden of Hide and Seek or… Where’s Wally?!

Flying Start @ Marjon Exploring Their Natural Surroundings…

February 15, 2015/in Marjon

Flying Start @ Marjon have been getting outside to explore!

The children have been exploring the weather, their new building on site, their garden and their local environments when out on regular walks!

Through this exploration there has been lots of opportunities to discuss safety and how we can keep ourselves safe…

Earlier last week the children found lots of ice in the garden, they broke it up and collected it into their tray and used their hands and utensils to move it around whilst watching and feeling it melt!

The children talked about how to be safe when it was icy, being careful not to slip on the ground or the tyres on our cars getting slippy so needing to be extra careful.

Then later on in the week the children found some big logs and tree stumps!

The children worked together to roll them forward and pile them up, creating a pretend barbecue!

The children explored safety decisions through their play with some support from the grown ups, discussing not to get too close once it was lit, pretending to light it and keeping safe distances, discussing how it felt hot and might burn!

What great natural learning experiences that have developed safety awareness!
