New The Townsend Nursery The Townsend Nursery- providing high quality Early Years education, love and care in a home from hom The Townsend Nursery was established in 1999.

The nursery is set in the back wing of a listed Queen Anne Farmhouse and stunning orchards. The nursery provides high quality early years education, love and care, in a home from home environment guided by highly qualified, committed and trained staff in partnership with parents. We firmly believe that children learn best from first hand experiences. We aim to suport social linguistic and emotional development by providing children with enriched learning environments both indoors and outdoors. We use the farm as a rich resource where children can explore the seasons using all of their senses, listening to the bees in the orchards in the spring, picnicing by the stream in the summer and tramping through the fields in their wellies in autumn and winter. We are a registered forest school and each week the children enjoy forest school activities like den building and bug finding activities. Above all else we aim to help prepare children for life, helping them to become confident, life long learners.

Today at Nursery we carved our pumpkins.
We spoke about shapes and how pumpkins are grown. The children enjoyed feeling the different textures of the shell, pulp and seeds. They picked shapes and helped carve faces into the pumpkins. We roasted the seeds and ate them at snack time by candle lit pumpkins.

Today we made soda bread and our own butter. We talked about how the cream changed from a liquid to a solid as we beat it with the mixer. We then used the buttermilk to make our bread. We read little red hen and talked about how wheat is made into flour.
