ECO PRODUCTS
We all know that we have to work together to reduce our impact on the environment. Teaching children about eco-matters and sustainability can easily be started at an early age.
As a nursery, providing children with a range of eco-friendly resources is becoming much easier, and sharing the story of how these are created by recycling paper and plastic is a great learning point too!
Providing blocks in your nursery is a great way to encourage children to engage in open-ended play and develop their skills across the whole of the EYFS.
Blocks help to develop fine motor control, hand-eye co-ordination, problem solving and logic. They also encourage creativity and co-operation - the opportunities for learning and fun are endless!
PLAYMATS
Playmats are a great way to create a foundation for imaginative play. These themed mats are especially helpful in supporting children who find imaginative play more challenging.
Try using our mats with small world resources to spark the childrens’ imagination and enable them to create their own unique environments.
Sensory play is a great way for children to explore all five of their senses. It is so important that, from an early age, they begin to have different experiences in sensory-rich environments.
There are many benefits for children including nerve connections being built and the development of neural pathways.
Sensory play also encourages language and motor skills plus problem-solving and social interaction.
Understanding colour is an essential building block for children, and one that they will use for learning in all areas of their lives. When it comes to designing environments, colour is one of the most important elements to consider.
Not only does colour play an important role in the look and feel of a space, but it can play a huge role in a child’s emotional well-being, mood, productivity, learning and overall behaviour.
Introducing a light table or dark den into your nursery is a must! The children will be drawn to investigate and explore the differences between light and dark and it will begin to encourage some amazing descriptive vocabulary.
There are so many ways they can explore colours, shapes and textures using a light panel, adding another dimension to their learning.

Does your nursery have a creation station?
A creation station is a child-height art area that is stocked with a range of exciting resources. It provides the ideal environment for children to let their imagination take over whilst encouraging independence.
Messy play is so much fun and a really important activity for childrens’ development. A great way to explore and experience different textures in a tactile and sensory way.
Exciting descriptive vocabulary can be introduced and explored through conversations that happen during messy play! Try some of these fab resources and let the children start squelching, squishing and squeezing today.

By their very nature, children love to be active and to engage in physical activities. There are lots of opportunities in nurseries for children to develop both fine and gross motor skills across a varied range of play experiences.
Bikes and trikes provide a great way for children to get outdoors, burn off energy and really build upon their balance, co-ordination and strength.
The furniture within a nursery environment plays a huge role in shaping the design and flow of the setting. It is important to create identifiable areas where children can relax, explore and grow.
