Bumblebees
2nd October 2025
We are absolutely delighted to welcome you to Bumblebees Room if you are a new family, and welcome you back if you are a returning family. Bumblebees is our 2 - 3 year old provision. We reopened our doors at the beginning of September 2025, after the summer holidays, and it has been a joy to see your children arriving with smiles on their faces. They are beginning to settle in and lovely positive relationships between the children and their key person are forming.
Settling in
At this time of the academic year, we focus on supporting your children to settle in to their new environment and start to learn our routines. We want your children to feel safe and secure during their time with us, which is why we focus on fostering the key person attachment. We are taking our time to teach the children about how to use different parts of the room, such as the messy zone, and where to find everything they need. We are showing the children how to tell us they’re ready for snack, wash their hands and self select their food. We are modelling how to sit at the lunch time, even after they have finished their food. All of this takes time, and we gently encourage, model and support the children throughout.
Seasonal Changes
As the weather turns cooler and more unpredictable, our underfloor heating has been turned on. However, we like to encourage free flow between inside and out. If you know your child likes to spend their time outside, or that they get cold easily, please do layer them up.
Please do ensure your child has an all-in-one splash suit and wellies at nursery, as we go out in all weathers. We will start to look at the changes in the leaves, the falling apples and other early signs of autumn.
Weekend Idea
Why not go on a nature walk and collect items like conkers, leaves, feathers, pine cones and flowers.
We’d love for you to bring them in next week, so we can add them to our sensory tray!
