Diwali , a festival to celebrate the victory of good over evil, light over darkness, is one of the most popular celebrations in India.

The Festival of Lights includes fireworks, food, gifts, colored sand and special clay lamps.

This year, at our centers, we choose to celebrate Diwali Day with our children, learning about the world and the festivals around it encourages our children to become Global Kids. They had a lot of fun with Indian music, doing arts and crafts, they loved to try the Indian cake and cookies.

Halloween Spooks 2020

Samhain, Halloween

Samhain, is the Irish word for Halloween. In fact, it is here that Halloween originated, coming from ancient pagan tradition of the transition between autumn and winter.

Our Children in Hyde & Seek had some real spooky fun with all our Halloween activities across all our crèches. We were busy in this month creating our scary and fun Halloween arts and crafts.

We ended our Halloween celebrations in Hyde & Seek Childcare with a dress up party. The children loved getting dressed up in their costumes. Playing dress up and role play helps children with the development of their brains through engagement and helping with their memory, as well as allowing them to use their imagination in such a creative way.

The screams of delight and laughter throughout all our centers was such a joy to hear.
