A Summer Sensation at Footsteps Chalfont St Peter
As summer arrived and schools closed for the holidays, many working parents in Chalfont St Peter struggle with reliable childcare options. Footsteps Chalfont St Peter is meeting that need by remaining open throughout the summer, offering a wide range of engaging and educational activities designed to keep children entertained and learning.
This summer, Footsteps Chalfont St Peter has curated an exciting program filled with diverse activities to keep young minds and bodies active and creative. The Footsteps approach ensured that every day was a new adventure, with something for every child to enjoy.
A Summer of Fun and Learning
We are proud to offer a well-rounded selection of activities that cater to various interests and developmental stages. For the little artists, our incredible team has planned daily arts and crafts sessions, where children can explore their creativity through painting, drawing, and making fun projects to take home. These expressive activities are not only enjoyable, but also help develop fine motor skills and encourage self-awareness.
We love to get out in the great outdoors with our popular Forest School ethos. Children are given the opportunity to explore nature, learn about the environment, and develop essential skills like teamwork and problem-solving. Whether it’s building dens, bug hunting, potion making or learning about different plants and animals, the Forest School is always a highlight of the summer.
For those with a passion for cooking, we offer a wide array of cooking sessions where children can get hands-on experience making simple, healthy meals or snacks. This activity not only teaches valuable life skills but also encourages healthy eating habits from a young age.
Imaginative Play and Outdoor Adventures
Imaginative play is a key part of the daily routine at Footsteps Chalfont St Peter, with dedicated time for role play activities. From pretending to run a shop, a vets or a post office to dressing up as their favourite characters, children can let their imaginations run wild, developing social skills and building confidence along the way.
Outdoor play is also a major focus of the summer, with a variety of outside games and activities planned. The nursery’s outdoor area is equipped with sand and water trays, and toy vehicles that children can use to explore and interact with their peers. These activities are not only fun but also encourage physical activity and coordination.
The fun doesn’t stop at the gates as we organised several trips to keep the summer exciting. Children enjoyed nature walks, where they can explore local wildlife, learn about the environment, and discover the beauty of the natural world. Visits to the shops are also planned, giving children a chance to practice social skills and learn about money in a real-world setting. And of course, no summer would be complete without a few trips to the park for some free play and socialising with friends.
Supporting Working Families
Our commitment to being there for families during the summer months reflects our dedication to the community and to the wellbeing of both children and parents.
As always, Footsteps Chalfont St Peter ensures that all activities are carried out in a safe and nurturing environment, with highly trained staff who are passionate about early childhood education.
