School Updates – What's New at Nottingham Nursery School

Hey parents! We know you want to be in the loop about what’s happening with the little ones, and we’re here to make that easy. Our school updates bring you the freshest info on activities, curriculum tweaks, and handy tips you can use at home. No jargon, just straight‑forward news that matters to you and your child.

Recent Events and Activities

Over the past month we’ve rolled out several fun projects. The garden‑exploration week let children dig, plant seeds, and learn about weather patterns while getting messy – a big hit for tiny hands. Our “Storytime in the Park” series let kids pick a favorite book and act out scenes, boosting confidence and language skills.

We also introduced a new sensory corner in the classroom. It’s packed with textures, lights, and gentle sounds to help kiddos calm down and focus. Teachers report that the corner has cut down on restlessness during circle time, and parents have noticed smoother transitions at home.

Helpful Tips for Parents

Wondering how to keep the learning momentum going after school? Try a simple “question of the day” routine. Ask your child something like, “What was the most exciting part of your day?” This sparks conversation and reinforces listening skills without feeling like homework.

Another easy win is a weekly “nature walk” around your neighbourhood. Collect a few leaves, a rock, or a feather, then talk about colors, shapes, and where they came from. It mirrors our garden‑exploration week and helps solidify the concepts kids are seeing in class.

We know meals can be a battlefield, so here’s a quick snack idea that aligns with our nutrition focus: spread a thin layer of hummus on whole‑grain crackers and top with sliced cucumber. It’s protein‑rich, finger‑friendly, and kids love the crunch.

If you’re looking for a deeper dive, our blog posts cover topics like online vs. distance learning, effective exam prep for older kids, and how to choose the right tutoring approach. Each piece is written in plain language, so you can skim and still pick up practical advice.

Finally, we love hearing from you. Got a question about a recent activity or a suggestion for future events? Drop us a note on the contact page or join our next parent‑teacher chat. Your feedback helps us shape a learning environment that feels like an extended family.

Stay tuned for more updates – we’ll keep sharing stories, tips, and behind‑the‑scenes glimpses of classroom life. Together, we’ll make sure every child’s early years are full of curiosity, confidence, and lots of smiles.
