This months topics include : Autumn & Halloween.

We have no trips planned this month at present but will be doing nature walks as part of our ongoing nature activities.

Alongside our theme this month we are continung to practice some literacy skills by making our own ”we are writers book” with the older children writing their own stories and a ”tell me a story book” with the little ones telling me story.

In addition to the above activities we have introduced ”Pablo the Penguin” our new traveling teddy who will be spending time with our children before ”going on holiday” to visit new friends. Upon his return we will be reading about his adventures. The children are very excited about Pablo’s adventures.

We have a packed calender of activities to keep the children busy this holidays including picnics in the park, organised craft sessions, park life, playworks play in the park sessions and more.

NB: – Due to the volume of calls from parents I receive looking for childcare, from areas outside of Clifton, I have asked my web developer to create a site to help put parents & childcare providers, in Nottingham, in touch. More details to follow.
