The Robins have had an egg-celent week in the run up to easter! They took part in an Easter egg hunt and had a cracking time decorating their eggs, they then went for a walk and rolled them down a hill! They also took part in other Easter themed activities such as painting with stamps and exploring different textures in the tuff tray!
All the staff hope you have an amazing long weekend and the Easter bunny spoils you!

At Holyrood Princes Dock they loved seeing their tree fill up with the children’s ‘decorated at home’ eggs. Not only was it nice seeing the children’s faces as they hung them on the tree, they know that when home life and nursery life connect it has a positive impact on their children’s learning.

They also enjoyed a wonderful Easter Bonnet Parade. It was also so good to welcome the parents back in for an event.
