Over the last two weeks, we have had lots of new children start in the Warren. Some coming down from the Nest and new children coming from outside of Free Rangers. To help the children settle in and make the transition as easy as we can for them, we have been basing most of our activities on their interests.

This week in the Warren, we decided to rearrange the baby garden and create an obstacle course for the babies. We have created stepping stones with tree stumps and crates, a balancing beam which is just off the ground, and then they were able to walk over the bridge before going down the slide.

This week in the Warren we have been exploring sensory toys. We have been looking at sensory bottles and exploring the textures of shredded paper.

The babies in the Warren enjoyed blackberry picking so much last week that we decided to carry on going blackberry picking again this week. Instead of eating them for snack, we decided to create blackberry paint and create some pictures for a new display.

This week in the Warren we have been enjoying the lovely sunshine and the beautiful weather. We have gone out as much as we can, ensuring we have put on lots of sun cream to protect ourselves from the sun.

In the Warren we have a new hand washing system and we have been encouraging the children to wash their hands independently. By doing this it is preparing the children for the Burrow and taking a role in their own care and hygiene.
