Young Friends Kindergarten

Monday we asked a carpet installer for their discarded inner rolls. Thursday they are still going strong and goodness knows how many uses they’ve had so far. We love sustainable open ended play! #hovenursery #hove #nursery #jobsinchildcare #sustainablecitizens #sustanabledevelopmentgoals #openendedresources #sustainablecitizens #eyfs #itstime #rewiringtheplanet ...

This is the wonderful Tanya. Tanya has been with us for a few years (I know, she doesn't look old enough!). She knows what she wants and that is to be an educator and she's doing an amazing job. Tanya has taken on our ethos and lives to learn. You would never know she is as young as she is. In her spare time Tanya is a gym enthusiast and a collector of shoes! Tanya is an incredibly organised person so keeps the place ship shape - well as much as possible in a child led environment! Oh and guess what? She's another dog lover! #animallover #team #kindergardenteam #earlyyearseducator #enjoyyourwork #naturalchildcare #childcarer #hovenursery #hove #mums #dads #sustainablechildcare #sustainabledevelopmentgoals #eyfs #eyfslearning

Meet Angela. She's pretty much, as Emma would say, 'dyed in the wool' of Young Friends. The place wouldn't be the same without her. She by her own admission doesn't stop talking - to both the children and team. We all feel we know her family very well! She has two lovely dogs, is a very enthusiastic karaoke-er and considers herself a competition-worthy grower of roses. Oh, and she's the most natural nurturing childcarer around I'm sure all our children would second that. #youngfriendskindergarten #hovenursery #hovemums #hovedads #hove #nurserypractitioners #caringteam #sustainablecitizens #youngfriends #youngfriendstribe #sustainabledevelopmentgoals

Our families would most certainly agree that it is

Our families would most certainly agree that it is rare to find a nursery so dedicated to teaching urban children to be sustainable. Our children are treated as individuals and our sustainable values are consistent which means they are confident, resourceful and have a unique awareness of their environmental and social responsibilities that will remain with them for life. Call us for a video tour and if you like what you see we will invite you for a personal viewing. #sustainablecitizens #sustainabledevelopmentgoals #hovemums #hovedads #nurseryhove #hove #eyfs #sustainablechildcare #woodlandgarden #urbanwoodland #nurseryeducation #outstandingchildcare #youngfriendskindergarten

At Young Friends Kindergarten we strongly believe

At Young Friends Kindergarten we strongly believe in the value of children building confidence, resilience and the basic cognitive and self regulative skills required for life and later learning of challenging skills such as phonics. All that will come - we encourage our parents and team to celebrate the young age of children and not leapfrog valuable basics to get ahead. Children learn best through play and exploration and this is what helps them develop a love of learning that enables them to grow into successful sustainable adults. Have fun with little ones and let them do what they are meant to do - play! #hovenursery #hove #hovemums #hovedads #sustainablecitizens #sustainabledevelopmentgoals #nurserypractitioners #eyfslearning #sustainableeyfs #youngfriendskindergarten #youngfriendstribe

Libby one of our brilliant Pod Leads has never-ending empathy for her 0-2 children - it really is a beautiful thing! But its nice to get to know the real Libby - she's got a lovely sense of humour, is a keen amateur baker (look out Bake Off!), total chatterbox, dog lover, Friends super-fan and a fun and caring Auntie. All of which are useful in her job except the Friends Super Fan part! We love having you as part of the team Libby and so do your children #hovenursery #hove #nursery #mums #dads #sustainablecitizens #sustainabledevelopmentgoals #eyfs #outstandingnursery #earlyyears #outdooreducation #nature #urbanwoodland #babies #toddlers #youngfriendskindergarten #youngfriendstribe

Welcome to our first Tribe Talk post. At Young Fri

Welcome to our first Tribe Talk post. At Young Friends Kindergarten we have such a great time creating experiences from our Nature Curriculum, we thought we would share some of them with you all.

This week we have been making paper from recycled shredded paper, with Jes in our outside nature workshop.

We soaked the paper in lots of water (you can add starch or clay powder, too) then blended it. This made a pulp. We had so much fun squelching it between our fingers and describing how it felt....
"Squidgy"
"Warm"
"Yucky"

We then added lots more water and pressed it through a mesh frame (made by our very own Sophie!). Next we placed some muslin material over the top and squeezed out more water. We flipped the material and flattened pulp onto a board to dry. After a day or two we had amazing, unique paper to use for making wonderful marks.

Much more fun than going to Smiths!

The children haven't been up to the kitchen garden

The children haven't been up to the kitchen garden for a while but that is all about to change. And they've been planting up seedlings at the kindergarten to take up there and help turn into food that they will cook and eat. We advocate seed to plate at Young Friends Kindergarten so our children really understand about sustainable food and living #hove #hovenursery #outstandingnursery #childrencooking #healthyeating #healthyeatinghabits #childrengardening #growingwithchildren #cookingwithchildren #freshproduce #organicvegetables #hovemums #hovedads #jobsinchildcare #youngfriendskindergarten

Our woodland garden is perfect for the children to immerse themselves in socio-dramatic play. Here the children are using community playthings blocks and a quiet corner outside to get everything ready to fly to the moon. No adults required! #hove #hovenursery #sociodramaticplay #urbanwoodland #observewaitlisten #adultsstandback #goingtothemoon #nurserypractitioners #jobsinchildcare #mums #dads #preschool #youngfriendskindergarten #sustainablecitizens #natureplay #sustainabledevelopmentgoals
