Enriching Experiences Beyond the Classroom
Extra-Curricular Activities at Hove Village Day Nurseries Brighton
At Hove Village Day Nurseries, we believe that childhood should be filled with rich, memorable experiences that inspire curiosity, creativity, and confidence. That’s why we offer a wide range of extra-curricular activities designed to complement our Early Years curriculum — giving children the opportunity to explore new skills, passions, and interests beyond their everyday learning.
A World of Discovery — Every Week
Our extra-curricular programme is carefully curated to nurture the whole child — supporting physical development, creative expression, wellbeing, and a connection to the world around them.
Art and Creative Workshops
Children are encouraged to express themselves through a variety of art forms — from painting and sculpture to crafts, collage, and sensory art. Our workshops are designed to inspire creativity while building fine motor skills and confidence.
Music and Movement Sessions
Our lively music sessions are filled with singing, instruments, rhythm, and movement. Children explore sounds, learn songs, and develop coordination, listening skills, and self-expression — all while having fun.
Children’s Yoga and Mindfulness
Gentle yoga and mindfulness activities help children develop balance, body awareness, and emotional regulation. These sessions introduce simple breathing techniques, stretches, and relaxation in a playful, child-friendly way.
Beach School and Outdoor Adventures
At our Sea Lanes and coastal settings, children benefit from regular trips to the beach. Whether it’s exploring rock pools, collecting natural treasures, or learning about the tides and sea life, our beach-based activities promote curiosity, resilience, and a love for the natural world.
Nature Walks and Local Exploration
With our close proximity to parks and green spaces, children regularly venture outdoors to explore nature, observe seasonal changes, and engage in physical play — developing a strong connection to their local environment.
Storytelling and Library Visits
At our Hove Library setting, children are immersed in the magical world of books through regular storytime, interactive reading, and library visits — nurturing early literacy skills and a lifelong love of stories.
