On the first week of March our toddlers and pre-schoolers went on their first ‘big outing’ of the year. Alongside Highbury and Angel, we went to the Little Angel Studio to see “The Flying Bath”. The play follows the adventures of some bath toys which come to life during bath time, bringing-or splashing- water wherever is most needed. As well, the story is told through song and rhyme, which our children absolutely loved! The whole morning was adventure-filled! From taking a walk to get to the theatre, to having a snack while talking about what they imagined the play would be about, we really made a whole morning out of it!!

Once the lights were out and the play started, it was an hour full of laughter, surprise and excitement. It was heart-warming to see the smile on our children’s faces as they watched the play and joined in the bath time adventures the flying bath took them into, being fully engaged in the play.

This outing was a milestone on its own. Firstly, we were able to provide an amazing opportunity to enhance our toddlers’ cultural capital; how often do you get to have a whole theatre reserved just for you and your friends?? But as well, this outing gave us the chance to strengthen the bond with the children and staff from our sister nurseries, creating new memories together to truly bring the sense of Monkey Puzzle Family to life!

We are already looking forward to our next big experience together, stay tuned.
