The Indian Holi Festival is a time for crazy, colourful fun and that's certainly what happened when the children from Melksham and Atworth nurseries got together for the traditional "play of colours".

The children used all sorts of special ingredients to make "magic potions" in Forest School. Hours of fun!

Staff and children joined in the pancake races at Atworth.

Our Pre-Schoolers put on a beautiful performance for their families this year.

The children enjoy swimming sessions in the outdoor solar heated swimming pool at Churchfields School

To celebrate our carnival project and raise money for Barnados we took to the streets in our beautiful carnival costumes.

Another exciting sports day this year with Barry from Sportzcoach directing the games.

We had a lovely graduation ceremony for our pre-schoolers in the village hall. The children, proudly watched by their families, were individually presented with a certificate and then we had a delicious party tea with a huge graduation cake.

The children are kitted up and ready to climb into the fire engine and put out some fires thanks to a visit from Wiltshire Fire Service.

We had a brilliant day out at Warleigh Lodge Farm, Bathford. The children fed lambs, collected eggs, groomed donkeys, put out fresh bedding for the pigs, fed the goats and had a tractor ride around the farm. A very big thanks to Julian and Rose, the owners of Warleigh Lodge Farm for making us so welcome.

We play outside every day and often visit the park.

We have lots of fun at our nursery with all sorts of activities like painting, cooking, making music, or just playing.

Our pre-school children had a fun-packed day at Bristol Zoo in wonderful Autumn sunshine.

We're very lucky to have so much beautiful countryside around us at Atworth. The children love visiting Neston Farm Shop to explore the Enchanted Wood and meet the animals.

Police, Camera, Action! Forget the TV, our children did it for real. They explored the cells at Warminster Police Station and learnt about the role of the police. They saw a real police ID badge and made one of their own.

We planted tomatoes, beans, courgettes and strawberries and learnt what they need to grow well. Then we ate them!

We had a visit from the police! The children saw some real handcuffs, talked on the police radio and climbed in the van.
