Last week our Preschool children planted some seeds, they are excited to look after them and watch them grow over the next few weeks and help us to develop our new growing and planting area in the garden!
Yesterday the preschool children celebrated Mid Autumn Festival which is also known as Mooncake Festival, a traditional Chinese festival celebrated in many south Asian countries.
The children have made some amazing lanterns and tried traditional Mooncake ๐ฅฎ

Did you know that we have a private Forest House Parents Club Group on Facebook?
This group is open only to our parents across the 6 Forest House Nurseries and is full of useful information, updates and videos from our team.
It is also a great space to ask other parents questions or give your own feedback!
If you are not already a member please request to join, remember to answer all the questions and state which nursery your child attends so that we can verify you and add you in!
We look forward to seeing you there!

Q. Why do we have Aims?
A. If you don't know what you want to achieve, then how will you achieve it!?
At Hawthorn House our Aims are very clear and imbedded in our daily practice, policies and procedures. Our Aims are extremely important to us and help us to provide the best childcare and education we can for all of our children and their families.

At Hawthorn House, our outdoor area is designed to not only allow the children to get the most out of their learning but to have lots of fun whilst doing it!
There are so many benefits of Outdoor Play for children including:
๐ธ Better Sleep At Night - Research shows that children will often sleep much better when they have been exposed to fresh air and sunshine in the day time!
๐ธ Makes Learning Fun - Outdoors can provide lots of different sensory experiences for children that they may not find indoors, with the changing of seasons throughout the year there is so much for young children to learn, play with and explore!
๐ธ Develops Motor Skills - Large outdoor spaces allow children to really develop their gross motor skills as they crawl, walk and even run in big open spaces. They can also develop their fine motor skills when picking up natural things that they find!
๐ธ Healthy Life Styles - if children are used to being outside on a regular basis they will continue to develop a healthy lifestyle. Playing outside often burns more energy allowing children to sleep and eat better!
๐ธ Learning About the Environment - By introducing children to nature at a young age and teaching them about the environment can lead to more environmentally aware adults!
We are very aware of all of the benefits of outdoor play and ensure that this is a big part of our daily routine at the nursery!

Well done to our Preschool children for creating this amazing planting area! We are all looking forward to looking after our new plants and watching them grow! ๐ธ ๐ฑ
At Hawthorn House we understand the importance of the Environment around the children. Environments play a key role in supporting and extending childrenโs learning and development.
Enabling Environments encourage babies and young children to play because they feel relaxed and comfortable in them.
When children feel emotionally safe and secure they are able to explore and find out about the place they are in and the things they can see, touch, manoeuvre or manipulate.
All of our classrooms and environments and outdoor areas are purposefully set up created to ensure that maximum learning and opportunities can be had by all of the children.
Lots of time, care and effort has gone into creating each of our environments for our indoor and outdoor areas.
Each classroom supports different ages of children and this is reflected in the environments, planning and resources on offer.
In our baby room we are very focused on low level furniture, black and white areas and cosy spaces.
In our Toddler rooms we start to look at bigger furniture, a carpet area, table top activities and independent access to outside.
Finally in our preschool rooms we have a large classroom set up with areas across the 7 areas of learning to include maths, literacy, role play, sand, water, story corner, art and craft, construction, small world and much more!
If you would like more information on how our environments support your child's learning please do not hesitate to contact us!!
