We’re excited to share that our setting is taking part in the My Nature Play programme by Learning through Landscapes

Over the coming weeks, we’ll be developing our outdoor spaces and building our confidence in providing high-quality, nature-based play every day. From muddy adventures to imaginative exploration, we’re embracing all things outdoors

Nature play supports children’s confidence, creativity and wellbeing, and we’re already seeing the positive impact on our children

We can’t wait to share our journey as we grow, explore and learn together!

Today our little explorers have explored how shadows are made & noticed how the sun helps to create them. The children have loved watching their shadows stretch, shrink & dance as they move around.

Bollington Pre‑School is beginning an exciting project to transform our outdoor area into a greener, more sustainable, and wildlife‑friendly space.To bring this vision to life, we would be incredibly grateful for any kind donations that could support the project. Items that would be especially helpful include:- Bags of bark or woodchip- Compost or soil- Seeds- Flowers and plants- Sensory plants such as herbs, grasses, and colourful bloomsEvery contribution, big or small, helps us create a beautiful, nurturing environment for our children to explore, learn, and connect with nature.If you’re able to donate, please speak to a member of the team. Thank you for your kindness and support as we grow something wonderful together.

During our inset day today staff have been setting up different areas for the children to explore when they return in January

Merry Christmas, see you on Tuesday 6th January

On Thursday at Pre-School we had a lovely visit from a very new Bollington resident.. a tiny lamb, just 7 days old!

It was a lovely opportunity for the children to learn about the world we live in, our community and life cycles.

The children listened and followed instructions well, for not just handling/stroking the lamb but also the importance of handwashing.

With it being such a beautiful day, the Little Explorers wanted to the make the most of it and took a trip this afternoon to The Rec…They enjoyed a run around with the football, went on a ‘bear hunt’ through the woodland and then once they got back read ‘We are going on a Bear Hunt’ story

At Bollington Pre-School at any given opportunity we love to get out in the community..

The children have enjoyed a visit to Bellfield’s bakery, the canal and the Library
