Grasshoppers Nursery Blog

Learning with nature gives us plenty to do “With roots to grow and wings to fly” we encourage our young to enjoy growing up in the countryside. Built in 2006 Overbury Grasshoppers is in the middle of a busy village community. We take full advantage of our links & visits round the Overbury Estate, Overbury Farms and Forest School throughout the seasons. We take children from 1 year and offer Breakfast Club, After School care as well as Holiday Club for the First School.

British Farmhouse Breakfast Week

Celebrating British Farmhouse Breakfast week 24th - 31st Jan enabled us to work on at least 3 areas of learning:

Spreading toppings on toast helped to hone fine motor skills (physical development)
Talking about where the bread, butter and honey come from explored knowledge and understanding of the world
Snacks is always a sociable occasion, allowing development of personal, social and emotional skills

Snow at Overbury Grasshoppers

We had heavy snow in Overbury last week; apologies for any inconvenience caused as a result of our closure on Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday. We were all pleased to be back on Thursday and had a lovely time building snowmen.

Choosing our Christmas Tree!

Last Friday we were treated to a tractor ride up onto Bredon Hill to choose our Christmas tree. Derek collected us in the Overbury Farms tractor and trailer, and delivered us up the hill to Martyn the forester - who was waiting to fell which ever one we chose. We came back to Overbury Grasshoppers with a 7 foot tall, beautiful bushy green tree to decorate!
