Emma's Explorers

Changes are starting to happen at Dunning Hall!

We are very excited to share that the hall will be officially handed over to the community soon 🥳.

What a difference a lick of paint has made to the windows and doors, the decorator is doing a superb job.

There are lots of improvements to come and we are incredibly excited to see the transformation. We'll be sure to keep you all updated every step of the way.

Summer Holiday Childcare

Spaces Available!

🌍In early learning and childcare (ELC), hand hygiene is part of everyday life — from helping with toileting, to wiping noses, preparing snacks, comforting a child, or joining in messy play.

👶 Why hands matter in ELC. Children learn, explore and feel safe through touch. Holding a hand, offering comfort, helping with a jumper or sitting alongside a child who is upset are all important parts of nurturing care. When we use clean, bare hands appropriately, we support:
-trust and reassurance
-emotional regulation
-secure, positive relationships.

🧼 Back to basics - good hand hygiene means:
-washing hands at the right moments
-following effective hand‑washing steps
-using gloves only when they are needed, not as a routine.

💙 Our World Hand Hygiene Day message:
-Clean hands before and after care.
-Gloves only when there is a clear risk.
-Warm, responsive human touch when safe and appropriate.

✨ A small challenge. Take a moment this week to reflect: “Do I need gloves for this, or are clean hands the best choice?”. Those small decisions help protect children’s health and preserve kindness in care.

Clean hands protect — compassionate hands connect.

Here's a look at some of the fun filled activities we have been doing at the Easter Holiday Club!

What a fantastic time we’ve been having so far! The children have been getting creative using natural resources to make flower jars, as well as designing their own colourful flowers with pipe cleaners and tissue paper. They’ve also been learning about the plants in our local woodlands, including the benefits of lichen and how it can even be used as tinder!

There’s been plenty of action too — from archery and team games like football, to park play, den building in the woods, and lots of teamwork along the way. We’ve also enjoyed plenty of child-led free play in the hall, letting imaginations run wild.

Tomorrow is our final day, and we can’t wait to make it just as special! 🌟

We’ll be back again in the summer for 3 fun-filled weeks — stay tuned! 🌻🌳
