Last week, Sherbert, the Metrognome, visited Kids 1st Gosforth. After having raised the most money for Amélie Holden, to help buy an Ipad Pro to help with her communication development, the nursery won a visit from Sherbert, the Metrognome earlier in the week. But that wasn't all that happened at our nurseries last week. Kids 1st Low Fell had their parent play days, which was a lot of fun too! All parents got to join the children in what was a very healthy competition. The little ones did an amazing job throughout all the games, but the parents also made it a mission to perform brilliantly in front of their children. The competition was fierce, but the parents pulled through with incredible performances! Read all about our adventures on this blog post.

This heart-warming blog post, with lots of photos documenting the event is a must!

Many of the fundamental tasks that children must achieve, such as exploring, risk-taking, fine and gross motor development and the absorption of vast amounts of basic knowledge, can be most effectively learned though outdoor play.
