Christmas Gruffalo Crumble 😍 children practicing cutting skills, tasting lemons, limes and cranberries. Such a creative activity for the children and so much learning happening in a fun and imaginative way. #teamelc we also left some for our forest friends to eat too 😍

Even the cold weather can't stop us (though it can make it very hard to tie our Christmas wreaths to trees with numb fingers 🤣) even our students can further develop their fins motor skills at the forest 😜 #teamelc #hncforestkindergarten resilience at its best 😊

Which boat would float? 🤔
Which boat could carry a load without sinking? 🤔 Problem solving skills, team working, communication and creativity ☺️ #hncforestkindergarten #teamelc the natural environment definitely does inspire 🌳

Scots Corner finally has a shiny new road sign! 🚸✨ A small symbol of big dreams and bright beginnings. Here's to the exciting journeys and discoveries that lie ahead! 🌟🚗  #ScotsCorner #TeamELC

During April, the #MonthOfTheMilitaryChild , our nursery stands in solidarity with military families worldwide. We are proud to celebrate the resilience and courage of each of our military children and families. #TeamELC 💜

By nurturing emotional literacy, we pave the way for resilient, emotionally aware children. Together this Children’s Mental Health Week, let's champion their well-being. 🌈✨ #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek #EmotionalWellness #TeamELC #EarlyYears

Just look at the amazing space and and resources our students have access to, and take ownership of, while studying across the levels for our early years courses 😍 all while being supported and encouraged by our wonderful early years experienced staff team 🥰 🎉 #teamelc

Some of the children at Scots Corner have been exploring and comparing their heights. Children apply early concepts of measurement in many of their everyday activities. They may compare sizes of toys, portions of food, or as in this instance, their height. 📏😄 #TeamELC

A small insight into a hugely warm moment. Connection, independence, support, belonging, enjoyment, sharing and a love for the dinosaurs - We give you... snack with our children!

Excited to celebrate Month of the Military Child by hosting a soldier at the nursery! A special opportunity for the to learn the different roles of a soldier while some of their parents are deployed. M said “my Daddy’s at Iraq”. #MonthoftheMilitaryChild #MOTMC #TeamELC 🌟💜

Have you been outside today, noticed the nature around you?🌻🌳🪺
Children have an innate curiosity & wonder in the natural world. Spending time outside & noticing nature helps them understand & connect with their environment #NatureConnection #TeamELC
Share your nature photos👇
