Garden Redevelopment

Posted by: Admin on 8th February at 18:24pm

We are delighted to announce that following the redevelopment of Mornington House, the back garden has been designed and built by award-winning nursery garden specialist Jane’s Pond Landscaping. The design incorporates all the key areas of learning and is truly an outdoor classroom where children can play and learn in an exciting environment.

There is a boat, a story telling area with a beautiful wooden chair and mushrooms, a tepee structure under the tree, stepping stones and hillocks. Although the garden has apparatus, their use is not prescriptive, leaving the children plenty of opportunity to play using their imaginations. Despite being a nursery garden it is a very relaxing and spiritual place, full of natural materials, with bamboo and grasses rustling in the wind. It really is a sanctuary in the middle of the city. Please feel welcome to visit and see for yourself. Click here for more

Happy New year to parents/carers and children from all the staff at Bristol Childcare Ltd. We are pleased to announce that work has now started on the garden at Mornington House Day Nursery.

Mornington House was recently allocated Capital Grant funds from Bristol City Council, allowing them to improve the garden, ensuring all of our children have a safe and exciting new garden to explore and enjoy.

The work is being carried out by Jane's Pond www.janespond.co.uk a leading local design and build natural play landscaping company.

French lessons are taking place every wednesday at The Priory Day Nursery from 10-11am. French teacher is Rhian Davis and the company is La Jolie Ronde.

Two Zoolab days were recently held at The Court House & Mornington House nurseries. Children enjoyed holding a variety of wriggly creatures while talking about where they live and what they like to eat. Tilly, “It feels cold and tickly” while holding a millipede. Olivia, “They like to eat leaves” while stroking Leon the Lionhead rabbit. Click here to view some pictures.

Mornington House is due to hold a 'Meet the Police day' on Tuesday 20th October. This gives the children a chance to ask questions and try on hats and maybe handle handcuffs, truncheons.
