ROOM YOGA
Each of our rooms provides weekly yoga sessions for your children. Yoga is very beneficial to all children. This is why.
It Enhances Physical Flexibility Yoga promotes physical strength because children learn to use all of their muscles in new ways. Whether a pose is done standing, sitting, or lying down, each one can challenge various muscle groups while helping a child become aware of his body and how it efficiently functions.
It Refines Balance and Coordination Balance is a key element of yoga. Balancing poses were created to promote mental and physical poise, as mental clarity and stability emerge from the effort of trying the poses. Even if a child has difficulty standing on one foot, she learns mental and physical balance if she can stay calm when she falls and when she gets up to try again. As children learn to improve their physical balance, they will be filled with a sense of accomplishment. Coordination is also closely tied to balance and promotes overall dexterity.
It Develops Focus and Concentration The act of practicing poses encourages children to clear their mind and focus on the effort. As a result of this single focus to achieve a particular pose or stay balanced, yoga helps children to focus and concentrate in school.
It Boosts Self-Esteem and Confidence Yoga helps to instill confidence and to bring learning to children on an experiential level and when a child masters a pose, it gives him confidence and self-esteem.
It Strengthens the Mind-Body Connection Yoga helps children achieve a sound mind in a sound body by exercising the physical body and calming the mental spirit. "As parents we want our children to act and behave with mindfulness and with compassion, to be brave, to know love and happiness, and to find inner peace,

BALL SKILLS
Froglets & Froggies ball skill classes.
So if we have a budding Chelsea or Man United player within our nursery they will have lots of fun practising their ball control.
And for those who have no desire to join the premier league, they will learn and develop their gross motor skills, team work, taking turns and keeping fit and healthy outdoors, whilst having a ball at the same time! (pardon the pun)

DONNA'S GARDENING GEMS
The children have been learning about the world around them and observing the changes in the nature around them. Donna has been planting seeds with the children and they have nurtured the seeds and watched them grow into seedlings before planting them out into our vegetable and flower beds. The children have continued to care and water the plants daily and were very excited to sample some of their produce at snack time! We have to keep the cheeky goats out of the garden though as they like our vegetables a bit too much!
