Simple And Quick To Set Up Physical Activities

Physical activity is important for children of all ages. But if you are at home isolating, it can be hard to give your little ones the opportunities to move that they would normally have. Here are some simple and quick physical activities that are easy to do with your child at home.

DSG Nursery

By getting involved in the set-up of the activities, children will also benefit from a rewarding and creative challenge. And keeping score in competitive games is great for their number skills!

Balloon volleyball

Balloon volleyball is a fun and active game for all the family. If you are playing in the garden, this will be your volleyball court. Divide it in 2 using a rope strung between two chairs (or whatever you have to hand).  Then simply use a normal balloon as your volleyball! The aim is not to let the balloon touch the ground, keeping it up in the air with your hands. If it’s your turn and the balloon does drop, the other player gets a point. The first to 21 points is the winner!

Mini Crazy Golf

Crazy Golf is always a favourite for children and you can set up your own mini course in your home! Experiment with different household objects to create the perfect course. You could use a stick or an umbrella as a golf club, and an ordinary ball as your golf ball. Cardboard tubes, pool noodles and ropes are all fantastic ways to guide your ball around the course to victory.

Obstacle course

For a true physical workout, there’s nothing better than an obstacle course! Improvise with objects such as washing baskets, sofa cushions, hula hoops and cardboard boxes, getting your children to navigate over, around and through. You can recreate your obstacle course, again and again, making it different every time.

What Our Parents Say

Very talented and caring staff. My son really loved this nursery. He learnt a lot in all aspects from communication, relationship building, being independent, to learning maths, shapes, letters, word, sentences etc. Really pleased with the development. Thanks to all the lovely staff, you are all the best.

Vaibhav H (Father of Child)

My daughter has been in the nursery since the Baby Room. It has been an incredible journey. Now she is in the pre-school and every day she is excited to go to the nursery. She loves the staff, her key worker, the other kids, the setting (especially the garden). She really enjoys all the activities organised through the week/day. She enjoys and has fun while learning. The staff encourage and support multilingual families making the kids feel proud they can speak more than one language. Now the staff are also getting her ready to go to school this September. The staff have always been amazing, very approachable, flexible and caring.

B C (Father of Child)

The staff are so kind and caring, they all know my daughter even those in different rooms. She skips in to see them every day and they are as excited as me when she does new things. It's a home away from home.

H G (Mother of Child)

I can't thank the staff enough for giving me peace of mind when my child is with them. The number and variety of activities each day is amazing and the fact they manage to get in the garden or go on trips - even in winter is fantastic. My child's development is streets ahead of his peers who don't attend nursery.

S H (Mother of Child)

The nursery has a lovely nurturing and vibrant atmosphere which my son loves. There is plenty of space for him to explore and learn via the vast range of toys and equipment they have. I know he is well cared for. I am always well informed and I work together with the nursery staff to give my son the best possible experience.

Claire F (Mother of Child) 

The care, consideration and attention my son receives is exemplary. Staff pay attention to his strengths and weaknesses and verbalise them to us and ideas for developing them are implemented. All staff demonstrate an excellent attitude and have excellent relationships with their designated children.

A D (Father of Child)

The staff were warm, caring and professional and the facilities are great. We felt like our daughter was part of a big family. We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all working there.

E S (Mother of Child)

I have been impressed by the level of care given to my son since he started. The daily warm welcome of the staff makes both children and parents alike feel at ease. Seeing the smile on my boy's face as we drive into the car park is proof enough for me that the team are doing something right.

Alexander M (Father of Child)

My little girl has recently started and is absolutely loving her time at nursery. The settling in sessions were brilliant and really helped put my mind at ease, especially with me starting back at work. The ladies in the Baby Room are super friendly and enthusiastic and I can't thank them enough for their support in what could have been quite an emotional rollercoaster.

G W (Mother of Child)

Once I drop my son off into the Baby Room, I feel he's as safe and as well looked after as I do at home.
