Well done to the nurseries for receiving recognition for a really important part of safeguarding the children!

Flying Start @ Redruth’s Icecream Shop!

June 2, 2015/in Redruth

Flying Start @ Redruth have been embracing the sunshine with an Ice Cream Role Play Shop!

The children are outside with sun hats, sun cream and of course sun shine so what else could they possibly need…

An Ice Cream of course!

In under the shade keeping the (pretend) ice creams cool, the children delve in to the tubs to get a magic scoop of some wonderful flavours!

The children have been getting carried away dreaming up special flavours, sticky sauce and of course sprinkles on top that sometimes they forget to get their customers to pay!

Flying Start @ Redruth’s Crabs!

May 26, 2015/in Redruth

Flying Start @ Redruth have been playing with CRABS!

The children have been watching and observing four crabs, seeing how they move, their different body parts and hard shell and starting to explore the descriptive words that they could use to describe their findings…

The children added some water and big rocks in to the tray to try to make the crabs feel comfortable and more like their usual surroundings.

They watched to see where the crabs liked to be most, but they seemed to liked to be watched and kept scuttling into view!

Next on the agenda for the children is copying the crabby movements …I think a gym club is in order!

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!
