December 2019
A very merry month of Christmas..
HO HO HO, OFF WE GO!
To start off December we thought it would be a great idea to spread some festive cheer at whitehall garden centre plus a visit to Shirehampton and Redland! The children had a busy morning exploring and taking in all the details of the fabulous decorations and displays throughout the garden centre. On our way to the exit we came across reindeers (real ones of course) the children were amazed and surprised that they even came to say hello!
Our adventure didn’t end at the garden centre, as on the way back to Horfield we stopped off at Shirehampton and Redland to present them with a festive hamper for all the hard working staff to wish them a very merry christmas from us all at Horfield!
A miracle in town!
“Our annual nativity plays in Preschool were fantastic all round. This year the play was ‘A miracle in Town.’
The children created a moving performance with wonderful singing and acting. A BIG round of applause to all the Pre-schoolers , and thank you to all the adults in attendance, you were a wonderful audience!”
Santa Claus is coming…. to Horfield!
We’ve had a special visitor from the north pole to join us for our Christmas parties, can you guess who it was?
We were all very excited to meet the man himself and to celebrate the festive period.
Silent night, Holy night..
All is calm, all is bright! The snappies Christmas carol night was a success, the staff put on a fantastic performance, followed with Niky’s solo which was a hit! we raised over £100 for the Marmalade Trust - a charity that tackles loneliness in Bristol. Thank you to all that was in attendance, we hope to see you for future events in 2020, watch this space.
All good in the Pud!
