Who can believe we’ve had a whole month of self-isolation already? We’re so proud of everyone staying home and staying safe during such an abnormal situation. We all have a job to do with a few more weeks of everyone self-isolating – so our Rosedene Team want to share our top tips for parents to make the most of your time at home.. 1. Plan your time! It sounds simple, but how many of us have ‘To-do’ lists that just keep getting longer? Or we say, ‘I’ll do that tomorrow’? We f

Rosedene Nurseries Hardwick enjoyed a walk to the local library last Tuesday where the children had the opportunity to listen and explore a number of books. They also enjoyed building with the large blocks. Each child selected books to bring back to nursery to keep and read for a little while. #library #education #books #reading #book #learning #children #Rosedene #rosedene #RosedeneNurseries #RosedeneNursery #RosedeneHardwick #RosedeneNurseryHardwick #RosedeneNurseriesHardw

Children at the Hemlington Initiative Centre have been learning all about butterflies recently. The butterflies started life as an egg but arrived at Rosedene Nurseries Hemlington Initiative Centre as caterpillars. The children were able to watch as the caterpillars grew and turned into chrysalis'. When in the chrysalis a caterpillars go through ‘metamorphosis,’ and become beautiful butterflies. The final stage for the children was to watch the release the butterflies into

The children had a great time yesterday taking part in lots of mini beast themed activities. They made caterpillars with play dough and wiggly worms with pipe cleaners and cereal. They also created their own mini beast from a range of resources. During snack time the children listened to The Hungry caterpillar whilst eating the same food as he did, they had to find the right piece of food on their plate to match with the story. We also listened to 'The Ugly Bug Ball' and dan

Last Thursday the children at Rosedene Hemlington Children's Centre prepared and cooked homemade vegetable soup for their lunch. The staff asked the children what vegetables they wanted to put into the soup and they chose broccoli, carrots, mushrooms, potatoes and peppers. The children chopped and prepared all the vegetables themselves, with a little help. After a busy morning making the soup they all sat down to eat, it went down well! #soup #vegetable #vegetables #vegetable

Rosedene at Kader started a focus on Science last week. We looked at colour mixing first, using bubble wrap and paint. Next we used pipettes and test tubes and the children chose a colour to make and the colours they thought would make that colour. The children put their final colours on cotton pads for us all to discuss. We have some more exciting plans to get more involved in Science week!!! #kader #rosedenekader #rosedenenurseries #Rosedene #science #scienceweek #children
