The Magic of Christmas at St. Joseph’s Nursery Trail

Our nursery children experienced the true magic of Christmas during their festive Nursery Trail! From the moment they arrived, excitement filled the air as the Three Wise Men greeted families at the school entrance and presented each child with a golden coin.

The children then wandered down a sparkling corridor lined with Christmas trees, collecting their own unique decorations before joining Mrs. Claus for an enchanting storytelling session.

Santa’s Kitchen Adventure

Next stop was Santa’s kitchen, where JoJo the nursery bear caused plenty of giggles by arriving dressed as a pirate and then a mermaid! Eventually, JoJo got it right and helped the boys and girls decorate delicious gingerbread baked by one of our very talented parents.

Courtyard Fun and Sensory Play

The trail continued into the courtyard for dancing with Christmas characters and a tasty treat—hotdogs kindly donated by one of our parents. Children also enjoyed sensory play activities with Carla from Sensory-at-home.

A Visit to Santa’s Grotto

Finally, the children reached Santa’s Grotto, where they shared their Christmas wishes and received a book and selection box from Santa’s elves. A huge thank you to The Friends of St. Joseph’s for providing these wonderful gifts!

The evening ended in the minor hall with refreshments for families and sensory circuits for the children. This magical event was made possible by the incredible teamwork of staff, parents, and our wider school community. Your generous donations, behind-the-scenes preparations, and on-the-night performances created an unforgettable experience for our children.

A special thank you to our Nursery team for their creativity and dedication in planning and hosting this very special Christmas celebration!
