Why do we carry out yoga sessions at Berrington Lodge Nursery?
Yoga enhances physical flexibility; promotes strength because children learn to use their muscles in new ways. It refines balance and coordination, balancing poses promote mental and physical poise, as mental clarity and stability increase from the effort of trying the poses.
We have so much fun with the children while doing yoga sessions, we find that they have a positive impact on behaviour and helps children to calm and regulate themselves.

Pirate week - 2022
Last week the nursery took part in Pirate week, we had lots of discussion around all things pirates. The children got to make their own treasure and treasure boxes, they made maps using tea bags, took part in treasure hunts in the garden and the children got to make up a pirate song which they had so much fun doing. At circle time practitioners read lots of pirate books and spoke to the children about how pirates may speak, the typical words a pirate may use and their actions. The children also got to paint our nursery garden pirate ship which they loved and have story time in the ship as well as role play activities.

New Sensory Room
Pre-school Graduation 2021
New outdoor learning area / Garden
We have been busy transforming our old toddler room into a sensory room for children to access. Children have thoroughly enjoyed using this new and exciting space.
Time in a sensory room helps children improve their visual, auditory and tactile processing, as well as fine and gross motor skills. By providing a sense of calm and comfort, sensory rooms help children learn to self-regulate their behaviours, which ultimately improves focus.

Children have been having lots of fun in our new transformed garden! It has certainly had the impact we were hoping for! Outdoor play supports children's problem-solving skills and nurtures their creativity, as well as providing rich opportunities for their developing imagination, inventiveness and resourcefulness.

Children learn to value books and stories .By reading it sparks children imagination and stimulate curiosity.

The children are looking forward to going on their first trip to see santa at Codsall Garden Centre, with the elderly from Abbeyfield Parkdale Care Home, our lovely neighbours, who we work very closely with.
Our children here at Berrington Lodge Nursery get to interact with different types of elderly people from Abbeyfield Care home. The children are able to develop respect and empathy for the elderly, which enhances their social and personals development as well as building confidence around new people. Abbeyfield residence and Berrington Lodge Nursery, children have the opportunity for both to learn new skills from each other as well as filling a void for either the elderly or child.
