Chinese Lunar New Year at Our Nursery in Nottingham
At Bella Bambini Day Nursery Nottingham, we love creating meaningful learning experiences that help children understand the world around them. This February, our children enjoyed a wonderful Chinese Lunar New Year awareness week.
As a trusted nursery in Nottingham, we believe early years education is about more than routines. It’s about nurturing respect and building confidence.
What Is Chinese Lunar New Year?
Chinese Lunar New Year is a special celebration enjoyed by many families around the world. It marks the beginning of a new year based on the lunar calendar and is often celebrated with red and gold decorations, music, stories, and family traditions.
During the week, our children learned in an age-appropriate way about:
- Different cultures and traditions
- How people celebrate important events
- The meaning of colours such as red and gold
What Did the Children Do?
Our EYFS-focused activities were carefully planned to be fun and inclusive. Children took part in:
- Listening to simple stories about Lunar New Year
- Exploring red and gold through arts and crafts
- Looking at pictures, decorations, and music
- Talking about how celebrations can be different in other countries
These activities encouraged language development, creativity, and social interaction while keeping learning playful and engaging.
How This Supports Learning
Celebrations like this support many areas of early development, including:
- Understanding the world and other cultures
- Building curiosity and respect for others
- Developing confidence when talking about new ideas
- Encouraging children to ask questions and share what they learn
As a caring nursery Nottingham families trust, we aim to help children grow into confident, kind, and curious learners.
Working Together With Families
We always value parental choice and understand that every family is different. Parents are welcome to speak to our team if they have any questions or preferences regarding nursery activities. We are always happy to support individual needs.
Learning is for Life
At Bella Bambini Day Nursery, moments like these help create lasting memories while laying strong foundations for lifelong learning.
