Home Learning Activities for Nursery 

Welcome to my Home Learning Hub. The most important thing is that we are all here to support each other and help one another through these strange times. I am aiming to provide materials for your child to do at home, if you wish to do them. These can be done alongside your daily routines like getting out into the garden, baking, sharing stories, creating your own craft activities, projects etc, ensuring you are filling your days full of positive experiences for both you and your children and most importantly enjoying spending time together! If you would like a more structured approach, I have put together a weekly timetable with embedded links to support you with your child's Home Learning. These have been designed so that you can dip in and out of them or complete the whole week, depending on time and how much you are able to do.  Each week, I will upload a new timetable with updated activities and links.

Wrap Around Care Policy

This Autumn Term for Nursery has been very busy!

During Autumn Hindu's celebrate one of their biggest festivals, Diwali - The Festival of Light. Nursery have been learning all about this exciting festival and have been using their creative skills to decorate the nursery in ready for our Diwali celebration.   


Diwali Week


  • We have made some beautiful Rangoli patterns to decorate our nursery, ready for the Diwali celebration.
  • We have to be very careful when using scissors!
  • We even made some Rangoli patterns on the ipads and printed them out.
  • Diwali is a celebration of light so we made some Diva's.
  • They will look beautiful when they are all lit. They will do a good job guiding Rama and Sita home.
  • We made some traditional Indian sweets. We had to follow the recipe carefully!
  • Careful!
  • Mix it up well.
  • It got very sticky and tough to stir, its good to help each other!
