The buzz children were caught by surprise last week when they entered the garden to have clear view of a life sized digger working on the site behind the nursery! 🤩 This sparked conversation amongst the children and staff were being asked a variety of questions.

Some of the children were inspired by this and implemented the experience in to their play by building with the large planks!

Last week we welcomed Helen Hayes (Shadow Minister for Children and Early Years) and Claire Hazelgrove (MP for Filton and Bradley Stoke).

Helen and Claire joined Busy Bees Bradley Stoke and the pre-school children for a sunflower planting activity. They also spent some time finding out about how Busy Bees gives children the best start in life. 🌟

During Children's Mental Health Week, Bombos engaged in some very effective mindfulness activities. Together, they crafted cookies, but instead of simply naming the ingredients, they unleashed their creativity by assigning them names based on various emotions commonly experienced. Meanwhile, our bumbles utilised playdough to express their emotions throughout the week. Each child was asked how they were feeling and then demonstrated it through their playdough creations. 🌟🍪

Relax, refresh, recharge! At least that's what the buzz children did during 'Children's mental health awareness' week whilst taking some very well deserved mindfulness time! 🥰
