It's a bitter-sweet feeling that runs through our veins. Saying goodbye to so many beautiful faces with incredible personalities and qualities is never easy. Preparing children for the future ahead of them is what we pride ourselves on, but saying goodbye is always hard. Kids 1st Wansbeck's preschoolers celebrated their graduation last Wednesday, 11th July. They were so excited to perform their songs and speeches that took months of preparation in front of their families. We don't want to say goodbye, but at the same time we're so excited to see what the future holds for every single one of these children. This must-read blog post documents every single second of this very special day at nursery. Congratulations, Dolphins!
Last week, Kids 1st Rake Lane has celebrated a full day dedicated to the children and their parents. With a parents play day event taking place at nursery, lots of parents joined their little ones for an afternoon of fun games, reading stories, playing outside in the sun, and so much more! All children were over the moon with excitement. They couldn't wait for their parents to arrive. Then, it was time to have the parents read their little ones some stories, run around the gardens playing games and getting involved in all sorts of fun activities. We documented the very special bond between the parents and their children through the camera lens. Read all about it on this blog post!
Last Thursday, 31st May, Kids 1st Quorum hosted a parents play day at nursery, where the children's parents got to join them for lots of activities.

Playing in a pool of letters, dressing up as pirates and princesses, washing up cars, painting with cotton, playing with giant Lego, sensory-playing in a sandy mixture, fishing or playing several games, at Kids 1st Bowesfield the children know how to have fun!

We visited Kids 1st Durham once more and joined the children on their outdoor activities.

Kids 1st Quorum is a wonderful nursery with both indoor and outdoor areas for the children to enjoy. During our latest visit to the nursery we got to join the children out in the gardens and witness lots of running around, smiley faces and giggles. But there was a lot happening indoors too! Parents got to join the children during story time while the little ones were delighted listening to the tales. Find out what else was happening at the nursery on this blog post.
Nothing can replace the role human interaction plays in a child’s growth and development, especially when it comes to acquiring language and developing communication skills. Whether it's playing outdoors, drawing, painting, learning about nature or even reading books, all the activities that take place in Kids 1st nurseries have been designed not only for your children to enjoy, but for them to develop their communication and cognitive skills. Last Monday, 29th January we drove to Kids 1st Bowesfield to visit the nursery and take photos of the children. Come with us on this journey as we explore the nursery, get to know the staff, and have lots of fun with the children. Read all about our visit on this blog post.

Young children need the opportunity to use their whole body and develop their gross motor skills. It's only when they have mastered these that they will be able to control their fine motor skills, such as using a knife and fork or holding a pencil! 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.
