Summer Holiday Nursery Fun: Activities You Won’t Want to Miss!

Summer has arrived, and at Pippa’s House, that means one thing—sunshine, play, and unforgettable adventures! Our teams across all settings have been busy planning a calendar of exciting summer holiday nursery fun activities to keep your little ones smiling, learning, and having the best time outdoors and indoors.

With longer days and warmer weather, it’s the perfect opportunity to make the most of outdoor spaces and enjoy some seriously fun seasonal experiences. Here’s a little preview of what’s coming up this summer:

☀️ Water Play Galore

Splashing in the sunshine? Yes, please! Our children love cooling off with water play, and we’ll be setting up everything from paddling pools and sprinklers to pouring stations and bubble-blowing fun. Water play is not only a great way to stay cool but also a fantastic way to support sensory exploration and coordination.

❄️ Frozen Toy Rescue

One of our favourite sensory challenges—freezing toys in ice and chipping them out! Children will love discovering their favourite figures and treasures trapped in frozen blocks, using tools (and teamwork!) to free them. It’s an excellent activity for developing fine motor skills, patience, and problem-solving.

🌿 Nature Walks and Local Outings

We’ll be making the most of the beautiful weather with regular outings to local parks, green spaces, and nature trails. These adventures help children connect with their environment, build physical skills, and spark their curiosity about the world around them.

🍓 Summer Sensory & Messy Play

From frozen paint popsicles to summer-themed tough trays filled with sand, shells, and more, our sensory play will be bursting with colour and creativity. Children can explore textures, shapes, and materials while engaging their senses and imaginations.

🧺 Picnics & Garden Fun

You can also look forward to garden picnics, music and movement sessions outdoors, and mini obstacle courses to challenge growing bodies. There’s nothing quite like enjoying a tasty snack with friends under the sun!

Don’t Miss Out—Check In with Your Manager

With so much going on, now is a great time to check in with your nursery manager about additional ad hoc days. If your child is part-time or term-time, adding a few extra sessions means they won’t miss out on all the summer fun we have planned.

Whether it’s for a last-minute work commitment or simply to give your child more time to enjoy these exciting activities, we’re happy to help accommodate where availability allows.

We can’t wait to share a summer filled with laughter, learning, and plenty of outdoor fun. Keep an eye on your Blossom app and nursery boards for updates, photos, and news about upcoming activities.

Let’s make this summer one to remember at Pippa’s House!
