Nursery Team Update

Welcome to the team!

Welcome to Abbie, our new nursery apprentice. Abbie recently graduated from school and is keen to gain experience working within a busy nursery setting. She comes from a large family with many siblings, so playing and interacting with children is second nature. Abbie is currently based in our Baby Room, please feel free to pop by and say hello to her when you are next in.

Lily has also joined the Riverside Day Nursery team. Lily is a newly qualified Level 2 Childcare Practitioner and is busy putting her skills into practice in our Toddler Room.

Finally, a few other internal changes to be aware of, Zenab is currently overseeing our babies in the Baby room while we are recruiting a new room leader. In the meantime, Amie has stepped up as acting Toddler room leader in place of Zenab.

Tots Mini-Tennis!

All About Tots Mini-Tennis

At the Riverside Day Nursery, we run a variety of extra-curricular activities to broaden the children’s learning skills and experience. One of our favourites is Tots Mini-Tennis run by the T2O Tennis Academy.

The sessions offer the chance for our children between two and five-years-old to take part in the world of tennis and are based on the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA), Tots Mini-Tennis programme.

Many sports have a mini versions, such as football, rugby and cricket, which help to develop young talent in appropriate learning environments and T2O Tennis does just the same but for tennis!

The sessions have all the fun and energy of the real thing but are played on smaller courts with smaller nets and rackets and lower bouncing balls. As well as helping children learn the basics of the game, they enjoy engaging activities based on balance, co-ordination, agility, movement and racket and ball skills.

Head Coach and Owner, Doug Robinson said “We started at the Riverside Nursery a couple of years ago following the Teddy Tennis programme, and in recent months updated the agenda, bringing it into line with the Lawn Tennis Association’s Tots Tennis programme. It’s so exciting seeing such young children learning about and playing this wonderful game.”

Tots Tennis takes place every Monday at the Riverside Day Nursery between 2pm and 3pm. If you would like your little one to join, please talk to Nikita, our Nursery Manager, for further information and fee details.
