Yesterday the children used open ended materials to create their own pizzas in the playdough area.
To extend this interest, the children used wraps and ingredients to create their own mini pizzas. Unfortunately, our children were unable to see how the pizzas they created were cooked so to next step this further we took a group of children to Dominos to observe the base being made and the dough being cooked in the oven.
The children thoroughly enjoyed the outing, especially the food tasting of the end product!

The children in 2-3 have been exploring spring colours ūüź•ūüź£ūüĆĽūüĆě
To extend this interest a group of the children went on a spring walk to see what other changes we could see in the environment.
Together the children observed some beautiful white blossoms and daffodils at different stages of growth.

What started off as World Book Week, has now became "Super Hero and Princess Week".
A top favourite has been Supertato. The children have enjoyed listening to the story, coming up with their own stories of saving the poor carrot from the evil peas, designing their own Supertatos, hulksmashing numbers in a number recognition game and other different activities.

World Book Day week!
Here are some photo's of the stories and activities our babies have been exploring.
We have all had lots of fun and can't wait to see what other stories our children bring in.

We are holding World Book Day everyday this week, we are doing this so every child has a chance to dress up and show us their costumes.

The staff in 2-3's have been carrying out some research into early language development and the effects of dummies.
As a result of this we have created a dummy box for anyone thinking of taking the step to remove their child's dummy. This will be ongoing as we know this is a big decision which cannot be rushed. We understand that dummies are a great comfort to children and they will be ready for this step at different times.
Name tags will be provided to attach to the dummies to make sure the dummy fairy knows who to write their letter back to.

As nursery practitioners, we understand the importance of making song time an opportunity for children to explore and be adventurous which gives children the opportunity to develop their prerequisite language skills.
Take a look at how 2-3's engage our children through song time ūü•≥ūüėÄūüôÉ

On the 20th March we will be holding an open evening between 5:30pm and 6:30pm for a chance to view the setting and meet our team members.

Today my daughter started reception so has officially finished bedeburn kindergarten. I can't thank the staff enough for everything they have done for Summer. Putting her in at such a young age was the hardest thing for me but I don't regret it for a second. Being on your own with a baby/toddler was hard at times but the staff here helped to relieve the pressure while making it fun and enjoyable for Summer too. Thankyou for everything. X

Reccomend bedeburn totally, my little boy James goes here and loves itÔŅĹÔŅĹ he loved the messy play party today and the girls are so good with himÔŅĹ he smiles as he enters the door! Xx

My little girl Grace has just started Bede Burn Kindergarten and I am so pleased at how well she is settling and her doesn't stop talking about her nursery when she gets home x

My daughter has been attending Bedeburn since she was 4 months old and has now just celebrated her second birthday. The staff have went above and beyond to make sure she has always been happy, comfortable and thriving. Even certain needs she had such as having reflux which meant as an infant she had to be constantly upright or sleep on an incline, they ensured her needs were met. Over the years my daughter has became attached to certain members of staff, particularly Ashleigh, her Key Worker. At any signs of upset or distress Ashleigh would make sure she was there to comfort and reassure her and bring her back to peace even when she was attending to other duties. This was particularly comforting to me because I know how attached and clingy she can be and how she needs constant reassurances that her ‚Äėpeople‚Äô are there. Cassidy and Jade are also fantastic and I‚Äôve never walked into the room and there‚Äôs not been some form of singing, dancing or playing going on. There‚Äôs constant interaction and stimulation and those were so important for me, rather than a place where your child is left to their own devices. For example, themed days such as French Day etc. I 100% recommend Bedeburn to any parent considering the kindergarten. The staff, their warmth and genuine affection for the children in their care, as well as their obvious professionalism, are unparalleled. My daughter continues to attend and I couldn‚Äôt imagine for her go anywhere else in the area.

My daughter has been a part of the nursery for 2 years. She loves it and the staff are great.

My daughter Alice has been attending Bedeburn Kindergarten from the age of one, she is now two and a half.



Alice thoroughly enjoys her two days at nursery and the staff are extremely attentive of her needs, whether it be using the same techniques as we do when she is misbehaving or even helping with potty training.



Alice has developed some special relationships with the staff and some of the other girls and boys who attend the nursery too.



No suggestion or question is too much for the staff and they are extremely accommodating if for any reason we need to change one of her set days.



Richie and I are extremely pleased we chose Bedeburn, we couldn't imagine Alice growing into the imaginative little girl that she is without the support of the staff and the environment she learns within.

Most excellent care given to my one-year-old son. He comes home happy, dirty and full of things to tell us.

Kayla absolutely loved bede burn kindergarten and most of all the lovely staff thanks very much x

I can't speak highly enough of the staff at Bede Burn. My son Harrison started coming for short visits in July to prepare him for starting in September. From our first visit we loved the place. Every member of staff is so professional and friendly and all of the children so well behaved and happy. A true reflection on the kind of place it is. In the first few weeks of starting Harrison really struggled with separation anxiety and became really hard to deal with on a night time. Before this Harrison was a great sleeper and happy to be away from us with friends and family. But he was obviously struggling with his new transition. The staff were so understanding and reassured us that is was all very normal. They went above and beyond to help Harrison settle in especially his key worker Morgan. Morgan made a visual timetable of his day at nursery so he knew what to expect next and so he could see at the end of the day Mam and Dad always come back. Extra phone calls throughout the day to reassure me and even ringing me on days Harrison wasn't in nursery to see how he has been sleeping. Thankfully we are back to 12 hours of unbroken sleep from him and this morning for the first time he ran away from me without a single tear. He absolutely loves his nursery, thank you to all the staff xxxx

Gona miss all the lovely teachers ÔŅĹCan't fault this nursry. Wil be sendin Katie in a couple years. ÔŅĹ xxxx

Couldn't thank the staff at bede burn kindergarten enough, brought my little boy on loads and he's sobbed his little heart out today as he leaves ready for school in September ÔŅĹ see you's in a few years girls when it's Ruby's turn xxxx

Bedeburn Kindergarten is a truly amazing place. Millie started when she was only 4 months old, which was daunting, but exciting. I was so apprehensive about putting Millie into a nursery at such a young age but was thrilled with how she was accepted with open arms.



The first day at nursery, they asked how she ate, and I said she was breastfed and didn't take a bottle, she didn't take a dummy, couldn't sit up and couldn't get herself to sleep in a cot, she had to be cuddled. I thought they'd say no straight away but it was amazing they took her in like she was one of their own. Each of the staff are incredibly friendly and adapt to each baby/child in their own way. Within a month, Millie was eating food, sleeping through and even drinking from a bottle and took a dummy! They're all super nannies in my eyes. She's 1 next week and is such a social butterfly and it's all thanks to these girls.



A truly amazing nursery and I couldn't recommend it highly enough. It made going back to work a breeze. x

Amazing place. My little one has been here since 7 months old and his final year aged 4 will be in Sept. They helped identify at an early age he may have additional needs And provided great support through the years with this. These girls have been like 2nd mothers to him. They've cared for him and helped him learn and grow into the happy, loving, playful little boy he is today. I can't thank them all enough!
