Mother's Day Tea Party

This week we had a great time as we had so many mums together for our annual Mother’s Day tea party event. The preschool children were so excited all day, in the knowledge that it was a special day and that their mummies were coming to play at nursery for the afternoon! Alfie was on a countdown from 9 am, asking very regularly, “How many hours now until our mummies are here?” When 3 o’clock came around and we were able to say just one more hour, the children got very excited and Alfie made sure all of his friends knew, “Just one more hour, that’s not long at all!”. Zack had seen the sandwiches and cakes being placed on their stands and very quickly they were gathered around, all dancing excitedly knowing that it was very close to the tea party time.

Once the mums started to arrive, the children across the nursery were clearly eager to show them around the rooms as well as outside in the garden. Ellie took her mummy into the toddler room and enjoyed cuddling in the cosy area, whilst looking at some stories together. Isaac and Gabriel couldn’t wait to show their nanny the garden for the first time. Isaac was showing his nanny the places he likes to play when in the garden and giving her a tour of where all of the children play.

Some of our under two’s ventured off in to the older garden, exploring the sand pit and investigating the bigger space. Flo was so happy to show some of her friends that her little brother had come to play but reminded them, “We have to be careful because is still only small!”.

It was wonderful to see the children so happy to have their mums come to play at nursery. There was a fantastic atmosphere throughout the nursery with lots of creative activities, role play opportunities and everyone having a chat, with some getting to know new families and catching up with others. Thank you to everyone and we hope you have a wonderful Mother’s Day weekend!
