Teddy Bears' Picnic and Book Hunt Delights Families at Watermead Nursery

Young children at Watermead Day Nursery in Loughborough recently gathered with their families for a delightful teddy bears' picnic and book hunt, transforming an ordinary afternoon into a memorable celebration of stories and outdoor adventure. The event saw nursery children and their parents exploring the grounds together, discovering hidden books and settling down for picnic treats accompanied by their favourite soft toys. Such gatherings play a vital role in early years education, fostering a love of reading from the earliest age whilst strengthening the partnership between nurseries and families. By creating opportunities for parents to engage with their children's learning in a relaxed, playful setting, Watermead Nursery demonstrates how early years settings can build the foundations for lifelong learning and wellbeing through simple yet meaningful community experiences.
