Smiles Day Nursery Sapcote

Smiles Day Nursery Sapcote Ofsted registered, reliable, and convenient yet affordable childcare throughout Leicestershire. We pride ourselves on our purpose built setting.

Our highly qualified, experienced staff at Smiles Day nursery acknowledge the formative early years of a child's life as crucial to their future learning, development and life chances. We believe that every child deserves the best possible start in life, helping them to develop into happy, confident, sociable and independent people. At Smiles we achieve this by working closely with parents and families to ensure tailored care and education for each child, guided by their own unique set of experiences, interests and needs. We embrace individuality, quality and diversity; we value every child and their family, thus promoting a culture of respect, confidence and positive self-esteem. Each room is light, spacious and designed to make the children want to explore, learn and develop curiosity.

This month the Inventors have been looking at the life cycle of ducks 🦆 , each week we watched as ducklings grew into ducks, the children loved watching them grow. On our journey’s we also saw other animals such as horses, sheep and lot’s of different bugs.

We have also been looking at colours 🌈that are around us in nature seeing if we could find all the colours on the colour wheel, the children have also enjoyed getting messy with paint. They enjoyed feeling it squishing in between their toes and mixing all the colours together.

The children have loved exploring the outdoors, playing in the long grass on the fields, picking blackberries and looking at rabbit holes and trees. They have also been busy baking and using Maths when measuring the ingredients.

We have been busy exploring the outdoors, climbing, going on bear hunts through the woods 🌳🌿 and helped to keep the Earth🌍 clean by litter picking.

The children have loved our new green house ☀, planting seeds and going to see the plants each day to watch them as they grow. We have been chatting about what we are planting and the children have mirrored what the Adults did to make sure they were all planted nicely. The children also helped maintain the plants by going back each day to water them! 🌱

We have also enjoyed making a home for the creepy crawlies in the grass. The children loved searching around for flowers🌸🌺🌷 , sticks and leaves🍃 to make it.

This week, one of the discoverers interests has been books 📚.Today we looked at a colour book and set out a colourful oat tuff tray where we matched different coloured items to the coloured oats 🟡🟢🟣. We then took this book outside to see what colours we could find around the village. We found brown sticks 🟤, green leaves 🍃 , red ladybirds 🐞 ,and blue cars🚙.

Whilst we were out we practiced our physical development by climbing trees, running around and drawing in the soil with sticks. We have also been working on communication and language as some of the children copied the words “stick, red, yellow, blue, brown”.

Inventors had their Mother’s Day stay and play, the children loved showing their parents and grandparents around the room. We had play dough which both parents and children enjoyed. We made flowers and patterns in the play dough using the petals and leaves that were on the table 🌸. We also enjoyed getting creative with paint to make flower heads using bottles and other loose parts which both adults and children enjoyed 🎨. The children also enjoyed showing their adults our imagination room and enjoyed making cups of tea and yummy food for them.

This week in discoverers room we have absolutely loved playing with the cars🚗and diggers rolling them up and down the big ramps. We have also enjoyed reading lots of stories and have been baking some delicious shortbread biscuits! 🍪

We took a lovely walk on to the garden centre where we looked at the colourful flowers🌺, plants and all the different garden ornaments in there. The children enjoyed a biscuit with a cup of milk🥛before heading back to nursery. What a lovely morning we had 🤩.
