Activities provided at Lansdowne and Millstone Day Nurseries in Leicester

During your child's time with either Lansdowne or Millstone Day Nursery we aim to provide a fun and relaxing environment to stimulate and enhance their development; some of the activities that your child can look forward to taking part in include:

Art

At both Lansdowne and Millstone nurseries we understand that people are at their most creative when they are young, hence we encourage all of the children to express themselves through art . During this time the children are encouraged to partake in various artistic tasks including painting, drawing and colouring. These activities are designed to encourage the child to express there creative side and develop their hand-eye coordination skills.

Ball pool

At our Millstone nursery we have a large ball pool for your child to play in while being supervised. This activity is highly popular amongst children of all ages and provides them with superb opportunity to burn off some energy.

Computers

Computers play a large part in most industries in toady's world and there is a very strong chance that your child will be using computer in their work as they grow older. Our nurseries have an IT area for the older children to increase there knowledge via our educational software packages. The children are encouraged to explore how the software packages work to assist with there education and understanding.

Construction Toys

At our nurseries we understand that children need to develop their hand eye coordination from an early age, that is why we provide the children with construction toys to encourage the development of their hand-eye coordination and gives the child an opportunity to exploit there creative side.

Library

Everyone loves a good book, that's why at our nurseries we have a large library area to encourage your child to read. Reading is one of the hardest skills to master as a child and our nursery nurses will endeavour to do there best to help and encourage all children at our nurseries to develop their reading skills. For our younger children the staff frequently read for them while encouraging them to participate in the reading as a group as an attempt to boost their confidence with reading and encourage them to try and improve there reading skills.

Both of our nurseries have extensive outdoor playing areas for your child to run around and play in all day long . Both nurseries have a variety of outdoor toys to keep your child entertained while playing outside, as well as an outdoor supervisor to ensure optimum safety at all times.

During the school holidays the nursery offers day excursions for your child to take part in. In the past we have traveled to Skegness, Twycross Zoo, Wickstead Park and Drayton Manor to name but a few.
