Marvellous Minibeasts Visit Riverbank
Today was an exciting day for the children of Riverbank Nursery – Caris from ZooLab came to visit and she brought along some wonderful little friends too!
We got to meet a giant land snail, a stick insect, a tarantula, a millipede, and even a corn snake. We got to touch some of them and even hold some of them. We learned so much about them!
It was so exciting and a day we will remember for a long time!
Have a look at some of the photos from the day…
A Few More Wriggly Visitors…
The creepy crawlies keep on coming in Nursery!!
We had the arrival of some worm cocoons and the nursery children worked together to get them ready to hatch. They had to soak them in water then put them in our special worm incubator. When they are hatched, we will put them in our very own worm nursery!
Spring has sprung in Nursery!
In spite of the unseasonable weather, Riverbank Nursery have been getting into the swing of spring with lots of planting and gardening. We have started a vegetable patch and greenhouse with potatoes, herbs, beans, cabbage, tomatoes and onions!
The gardening is hard work, but we can’t wait to see how they grow…
Riverbank Nursery have some very hungry visitors…
The children of Riverbank Nursery got a big surprise today when they arrived at Nursery….
33 very hungry caterpillars!
Over the coming weeks the children are looking forward to watching them grow and change from caterpillars to cocoons and finally to beautiful butterflies!
Stay tuned for updates…

Work Begins On Our Vegetable Patch
The children have been working hard to dig up a big area of our nursery garden where we will start growing vegetables. We have seedlings in our little indoor greenhouse just now, staying cosy until the weather gets warmer and they are strong enough to go into the soil….
Keep your eyes peeled for more updates on our vegetables!!
Solar Eclipse – 20th March 2015
The morning nursery children experienced a rare opportunity of witnessing a partial solar eclipse on Friday morning. In the days leading up to the event they had learned about the moon passing in front of the sun.
One of the children said: ‘The moon is just going past and saying ‘Excuse me!’ to the sun!’
On Friday, using colanders as pinhole cameras, the children watched as the moon covered up 95% on the sun, making everything go darker for a while. Even with the cloudy skies, we were excited to see what was happening!
We even saw the birds get confused and think that night had come. What an amazing, once-in-a-lifetime experience!
