The government have produced this new guidance for parents and carers on screen time for under 5’s.

Although we very rarely use screens at Little Stars, it is an interesting read and I thought I’d share it with all my parents 😊 🌟

Guidance for parents on managing screen time for under 5s. Learn what's recommended and how to build healthy habits from an early age.

😭 Our Little G left for big school this week, that's 4 of our Little Stars family that have moved on this year!

Good luck at big school and thank you so much for our beautiful gifts, much love ❤️ 😍
