Happy Days Nursery Droitwich now have welcome bags for new parents!

Your child’s first day at nursery can be an emotional one and, along with our 6-8 weeks settling in process, we aim for it be as smooth as possible. Even though you and your child are ready and prepared we know there might still be a few tears.

We have created a little welcome bag to make parents first day a little easier. We hope you enjoy the treats and our special poem:

I gave you a little wink and smile

As you entered my room today, for

I know how hard it is to leave and

Know that your child must stay

You’ve been with them for a long time now

And have been a loving guide,

But now the time has come to leave them at my side.

Just know as you drive away

And tears down your cheeks may flow,

I’ll love them as I would my own

And help them love and grow.

So please put your mind at ease

And cry those tears no more,

For I will love them and take them in

When you leave them at my door

We look forward to welcoming you to our Happy Days Family at Droitwich!

The Children At Happy Days Exeter Learn About Bees

Aug 16, 2024

Last week the pre-schoolers found a bee in the garden who had got wet in our water tray, the children were so excited to see the bee and showed care and concern to rescue it from the water tray and learn how to look after it.🐝

This week following our interest in this the children in preschool have been learning all about Bees this week, we have busy learning about their different body parts and talking about why bees are SO important.⭐

We have also been getting crafty and creative using our fine motor skills and imagination to draw, paint and explore making our own bee pictures, models and creations. We also used threading needles to make our own bee pictures by threading.🪡

We made yellow playdough with different black items such as buttons to construct our own bees, we played the honey bear circle game to practice turn taking and explored a sand tray with other mini beasts!🦗

Some of us have even worn yellow and bee themed clothes to nursery!

Fun Bee Facts:

🌼Honey was found in the tombs in Egypt and it was still edible!

🌼It only takes about 1 ounce of honey to fuel a bee to fly around the world!

🌼Every 3rd mouthful of food is produced by bees pollinating crops

🌼Bees depend on flowers spring, summer and Autumn, be sure to include nectar sources for all seasons in your garden!
