This Months News

Our Babies have been having fun exploring the garden this month, they have also had fun with different textures of sand and paint.

The Toddlers had an exciting trip to the local shop! They enjoyed looking around and chose some yoghurt and fruit which they helped prepare for their afternoon snack.

Pre-school have been exploring letters and sounds. They had a lot of fun using instruments at the same time to play around with rhythm and sounds.

Pre-school Leavers

We are fast approaching that time of year when our preschool children will be moving on to big school. We would really like it if you could share with us which schools your children have been accepted into, this is to help us support your children transition into school. It would also be great if you could let us know when your child’s last day might be, although we’ll be really sad to see them leave!
