Kids in the Kitchen and Holiday Club Fun

August 7, 2023 By Aaron Willoughby

What a great start to the school summer holidays here at the Centre!

Our fully booked Hope Holiday Club have been having lots of fun with ceramics, planting seeds, painting sunflowers and enjoying our outdoor space.

Kids in the kitchen was another great success this summer and the cheese scones, potato salad and fruit bomb desserts were a hit!

Our next family event will be our Fabulous Family Fun Morning on Friday 25th August (details in our promo on Facebook). Ring 01885 488495 to secure your family places.

Meeting Boris the Lamb

This is ‘Boris’ the lamb and he belongs to one of the little girls in the Caterpillar room.

He came to visit for ‘show and tell’ in the morning.

All the children at nursery went into the garden to see him.

First signs of spring.

If you are looking for a place for your child, please email rachel.cross@hopefamilycentre.org for a visit or a show round.

Dinosaur week in Preschool

March 17, 2023 By Aaron Willoughby

This week we used dinosaurs in imaginative play, to expand vocabulary, develop mathematical skills and to create artwork.

This week in the Caterpillar room…

March 2, 2023 By Aaron Willoughby

Caterpillar Room children have been taking part in weekly cooking sessions.

They have made various recipes to learn new techniques, handling new tools and visiting new words to expand their vocabulary. It has helped develop their ability to take turns and understand and follow instructions.

Recently the Caterpillar children have enjoyed cutting and preparing fruit to make smoothies and have made chocolate fudge cake and pineapple upside-down cake. They have also enjoyed reading the recipe books in the Book Corner and chose to make Lemon Spiral Cookies.

If your children would enjoy these activities we have limited spaces available in Hope Early Years.
Please email rachel.cross@hopefamilycentre.org with your requirements or for more information.
