Nurturing Little Artists: Our New Cambridge Nursery Art Class
At Monkey Puzzle Grange Road, one of Cambridge’s warmest and most welcoming day nurseries, learning reaches far beyond the classroom. Alongside Forest School, our STEM room, and cooking classes, we are delighted to have added a brand new art class to our wide range of extra-curricular activities, and it has quickly become a firm favourite with the children.
A New Artist Every Month
Each month, our wonderful art practitioner Maria introduces the children to a different artist. This month the spotlight falls on Wassily Kandinsky, and today the children explored his celebrated work “Several Circles,” experimenting with colour, shape, and pattern as they created pieces of their very own.
Why Art Matters in the Early Years
Art is about far more than the finished picture. As the children work with different materials, colours, and textures, they build creativity, self-expression, and confidence. They also develop emotional wellbeing, cultural awareness, and problem-solving skills, the very foundations of a lifelong love of learning and a genuine appreciation for the arts. For your child, that means an early years experience that helps them grow, discover, and flourish, a real head start in the skills that matter most and just one of the many ways we nurture every child during their time with us.
