where every moment matters and every child counts, being me. 🌟

A busy morning developing our independence, self help skills, social skills and using mathematical language to discuss halves and quarters of our food! Our homely feel and unhurried approach creates a safe and comfortable space to eat and interact while learning ❤️ ⭐️

Rain, hail, wind, or snow… you will find us outdoors !

Children’s experiences and their capacity to learn and develop are enhanced by being able to experience nature first hand…(my world outdoors)

Come along and coorie in….. 📚 ♥️ 💫

Busy porridge makers this morning in the garden.

Our little learners are becoming confident and developing their risk assessing skills while using the stove.

We love our morning porridge at Whitecrook, it fuels us for the day and the experience itself develops many skills🥣

[Whitecrook ELCC @WhitecrookE]

Happy Monday everyone… ready to welcome our little learners ♥️

Our little learners developed their creative skills while using the clay and loose parts to make a shell for Norman ..”I’m taking Norman a walk”…. “Norman has a donut, I’ve made a donut and Thor’s hammer”

Our clay area is open to children every day. @suehendra @PaulLinnet

Promoting social and cultural capital through experiences within the community of Whitecrook.

We took a trip to our local shop to buy some custard for our rhubarb crumble ⭐️! Working together to count the money and carry the custard back to nursery

[Whitecrook ELCC @WhitecrookE]

Our fruit and vegetables are growing well …. our rhubarb that we used today for rhubarb crumble ❤️

[Whitecrook ELCC @WhitecrookE]

Today we used our nursery grown rhubarb to make rhubarb crumble ! The children were able to risk assess and safely use the kitchen utensils and equipment 🔪 👩‍🍳 they developed their mathematical skills weighing the ingredients…we enjoyed eating our crumble in the sunshine ☀️
