Winter outdoor water tray ideas
Hi all, We have a large water tray area outside in our provision used by both nursery and reception. We’re struggling to think of ideas for the winter apart from balls, cars and ramps.

How to plan a curriculum for 2-4 year olds in one room
I have just moved to a new nursery as a manager and from what I can gather the planning is more 'in the moment' as I have been unable to find any evidence of a curriculum. How do you plan a Early Years curriculum for 2-4 year olds in one room? 😪 Thanks 😊
