Mother's Day Tea Party!

The preschool children have been very excited on the build up to our annual Mother’s Day Tea Party event and have been busy preparing gifts and cards to give to their mummies! After Francis had finished decorating his plant pot, he picked it up, held it in front of him, let out a little smile and said, “My mummy will like this I think”. Cooper and Isla were eager to get their cards on the drying rack, ready to give to their mums, whilst Marlow loved getting his hands deep in to the compost to fill up the pot with some flower seeds. Otto was so excited to see the bunting be put up in preschool and asked, “Does that mean the party is today?”. This followed by a great big smile and clap when the answer was a yes. He couldn’t wait to get back outside to the garden to tell his friends it was party day.

As usual, the children love to show their parents where their favourite place to play is, and they did just this when all the mums to started to arrive. Isla was so excited to finally be able to gift her mummy a card, a present and even a cupcake that the children had made that morning. Some of the other children ventured straight to the garden to show their mummies around and some of them got stuck straight in to the sandwiches and sat together around the tables, with lots of happy conversations going ahead. 

The toddlers were so excited in the lead up to the tea party, with lots of chatter about their mummies coming to play! Sebastian commented, “My mummy’s coming and we going to play in toddlers…. And have sandwiches!”. As the Mums arrived the children’s faces were beaming and lots of excited cuddles were had. Just as Clara was tucking into a sandwich her mummy turned up; she quickly put it to the side for a big, big cuddle before taking her plate to eat with her in the garden! Henry showed his Mummy all around the toddler room, spending time reading stories together in the book corner and Henry showed off his favourite cat puppet, with a small, “Meow”. Sienna enjoyed showing her mummy the different areas of the garden, spending lots of time doing one of her favourite things, playing in the mud kitchen! Clara and Emily had only seen each other five minutes before their mum’s arrived but were so excited to be reunited by the sand pit with them present, and shouted each others names as they ran together for a big cuddle. 

The Under 2’s loved welcoming their mummies to the nursery at the Mother’s Day Tea Party and were really keen to show off their room! As Zakariya’s mum arrived, he smiled happily and looked up with a beaming smile, excited at the chance to give her a tour around the garden and room! After Emilia turned up with her mum, she indicated that she would like to go over to the sandpit and proudly showed off how she plays in it to all the mothers around! Lowen, Lyra and Lydia all happily ventured out into the big garden to show off their football skills to their mums, and played really nicely together, proudly exhibiting their excellent sharing skills!
