🚀 Space Week Adventures in the Over 2’s Room! 🌍✨

The excitement was out of this world when the children arrived at nursery to find a giant space rocket waiting for them! 🧑‍🚀👽 Complete with its own astronauts and a friendly alien, it instantly sparked imaginations and set the scene for a week full of discovery and wonder.

Throughout Space Week, the children explored the planets, learning their names, colours, and sizes, before painting their very own planets for a beautiful display. 🎨🪐 Our room has never looked so cosmic!

And of course… rockets everywhere! 🚀 They built them out of craft materials, shaped them with playdough, and even constructed them using magnetic tiles.

This topic brought so much joy and curiosity to our week. 🌟 It’s amazing to see the children making connections between what they see up in the sky...the moon, stars, and beyond

Here’s to big dreams, bright ideas, and little astronauts shooting for the stars! 💫

🌾 Harvest Fun Continues! 🍎✨

It might now be well into the swing of autumn, but we’re still busy learning all about the harvest as we watch the hardworking farmers around us. 🚜🍂

The children have loved pretending to be farmers themselves, digging up their own pumpkins and potatoes in play! 🎃🥔 Out in the garden, we even harvested our very own butternut squashes, which our wonderful Cook Sarah turned into some yummy roasted veg for lunch. 🧡🥕

We’ve also been apple printing and talking about all the amazing ways farmers help us, from growing our food to caring for the land. 🌱 It’s been a hands-on, heartwarming way to celebrate the season and appreciate all that autumn brings. 🍁

🍁🐛 Leafy Caterpillars and a Fuzzy Surprise! 🍎🍃

This week was full of autumn magic! The children had so much fun making their own little caterpillars using apples and fallen leaves. It was the perfect way to explore the season, chatting about apple picking, crunchy leaves, and all the changes we can see around us as autumn settles in. 🍂✨

As we were busy creating, something amazing happened… the children spotted a huge furry caterpillar crawling on the tyres! 🐛👀 They were so excited and spent ages watching it closely, remembering all the things we learned about caterpillars and their life cycle back in the summer.

It was such a lovely moment, seeing their curiosity, their excitement, and how beautifully they connected what they’ve learned with what they were seeing right in front of them.

These little moments are where the biggest learning happens. 🌟💚

🌟 What a Pawsome Pet Week at Willowtree! 🌟

A huge THANK YOU to Liz, Rachel, Lily and Siobhan for taking the time to bring in their adorable fur babies for the children to meet, it’s not every day we get a surprise visit from a whole mini zoo! 🐾🐶🐱🐰 An extra special thank you to our wonderful resident vet, Alex, who generously gave her time to come in and talk to the children all about animal care. You brought so much excitement (and knowledge!) into the room. 💙

We’re constantly amazed by how incredible our Willowtree staff are, always going above and beyond to make learning magical and meaningful. It’s more than just a job here. It’s a community of people who deeply care about how we can enrich each child’s experience in the most creative and hands-on ways. 🌟

It’s these special days that remind us how lucky we are to be part of something so wonderful. 🙌

And judging by the children's excitement, we’re fairly certain they’ll be talking about this animal adventure well into 2026 (and possibly demanding a new pet every week). 😂 In fact, they’ve already started coming in each morning asking, “So… what animal are we getting today?”

Watch this space...Willowtree Safari might just be the next big thing. 😉

🐰 Thumper’s Nursery Visit! 🌸

A special fluffy friend Thumper the rabbit came to visit us at nursery this week! At first, Thumper was a little bit nervous in her new surroundings everything was big and new, and she wasn't quite sure what to expect. But the children were absolutely wonderful. 💛

They stayed calm and quiet, giving Thumper the space she needed to feel safe. With soft hands and gentle voices, they showed so much kindness and respect just what a little rabbit needs! 🐇

🐟 Pet Week Just Got Fishtastic! 🐟

It wouldn’t be Pet Week without adding some new friends to Willowtree! We are now the proud owners of 6 bright little Minnow fish 🐟, and 2 Shrimp 🦐 have joined our 2 friendly guppy's. We’ve even jazzed up the tank to make it a rainbow-themed underwater world 🌈✨

We’re still waiting for our pet ducks from Rachel though 🦆… If they don’t arrive soon, we might have to start a parent petition or even a staff strike!

Maybe she will quack under pressure...!

💛 Clip-Clop, Here Comes Apollo 💛

We had a very special surprise at nursery this week, our lovely Lily arrived clip-clopping down the driveway on her beautiful horse, Apollo! 🐴The children watched in awe as Lily rode in wearing her riding gear (a bit different to her usual work attire!), and everyone was so excited to meet our new four-legged friend. ✨

Apollo was big, gentle, and absolutely stunning. We looked closely at his feet and learned all about his strong hooves. Lily showed us his long, shiny hair, and we talked about what horses like to eat to stay healthy. The children were mesmerised by this friendly giant and asked lots of curious questions. 🐎💛

A huge thank you to Lily (and Apollo!) for such a magical visit 🌟
