Tuesday 21/04/2026
I regret to inform you that we will not be able to open Tuesday 21/04/2026 morning before 10 am due to blocked drains. The tanker we require to resolve this issue will not arrive until 9.15 am.

As a result, we will not be able to offer Breakfast Club.

Pre-school will begin at the later time of 10 am.

We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

Wasn’t that sunshine ☀️ just lovely while it lasted?

We are due rain later today 😞 ☔️ So if you are looking for something fun and indoors to do tomorrow morning, I have such a fun class prepared, with dressing up for everyone to the wonderful story of The Ladybird Who Heard. Come and join us, get cosy - I have a treat up my sleeves 💛 everyone welcome, it doesn’t matter if you haven’t been to a class before, everyone is guaranteed a warm welcome!!!

I hadn’t read the story myself until recently (surprisingly because I’m a big Julia Donaldson fan)

It follows a quiet, thoughtful ladybird who lives on a farm surrounded by lots of noisy animals. While everyone else is busy making a racket, she’s the one who notices something important… two sneaky robbers plotting a plan! 🐄🐖
Even though she’s tiny and doesn’t say much, the ladybird comes up with a very clever way to save the day—with a little help from her farmyard friends. It’s all about teamwork, bravery, and showing that even the smallest voice can make a big difference 🐞✨

It’s such a fun, engaging story with lots of animal sounds, rhythm, and opportunities to join in…perfect for little ones to get involved and really feel part of the adventure.

If you’ve never experienced it before like me, it’s definitely one that brings lots of smiles… and it comes to life beautifully in my classes too 💛 I am SO excited for this one!!!

Does your little one attend a Happy Little Hands at their Nursery or Preschool? Or perhaps I come to your child’s setting on a day they’re not there and you’re wondering what it’s all about? I have made a little introduction video for settings to send out to families, with some signs for you to use at home! I plan to send more videos of signs to use at home, so that when your child shows you a new sign you know what they are telling you, and so you can learn too!!!
