Real vs Plastic

Here at Bestwood Park nursery we use REAL authentic resources and loose parts over plastic manufactured toys. We’ve moved away from plastic resources such as tea-sets and cars garages. We have noticed that these types of resources get dropped and mindlessly thrown and left lying around. Plastic is virtually indestructible and rarely breaks. it lasts for decades but what does that teach the children? We need to empower children to take risks, to practice new skills and allow children to make decisions and learn to handle breakables whilst supported by confident educators. This is why we use REAL over plastic as part of our ethos

Importance of books for children

Regularly looking at books and reading with children is a powerful tool that has astonishing benefits. Giving a child time and full attention when reading them a story tells them they matter. It builds self-esteem, vocabulary, feeds imagination and even improves their sleeping patterns. Not only this but reading provides comfort, reassurance, relaxation and fun. Check out our lending library outside of the nursery where we actively encourage parents to take books home for their children to enjoy.

Secure routines and rituals

Routines and Rituals are daily events that we like to emphasize and make special for children to stop, unwind and be in the moment with. The day can quickly catch up with us and before we know it one day is rolling into the next. Secure routines and rituals help form structure in a child's life which in turn strengthens their ability to focus and develop. Ensuring your child has a secure routine around important periods such as mealtimes and sleep times is vital and we can help you develop this here at nursery.
