Graduation 2026

On Wednesday, we celebrated a very special milestone — our School Leavers Graduation! The children had a wonderful time, and we were so happy to welcome parents to share in this joyful occasion.

It was a day full of smiles, laughter, and a few happy tears as we said goodbye to our amazing little graduates.

We’re so proud of how far they’ve come and would like to wish each and every one of them the very best of luck as they begin their next adventure at big school in September!
Go shine bright, little stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Also a huge thank you to JS Disco for providing the entertainment for our party!

🌟 Father's Day Stay & Play 🌟

We had a wonderful time at our Father's Day Stay & Play session! 💙

It was lovely to see so many families joining in, creating special memories, and enjoying the outdoor environment together.

A huge thank you to all of our families who attended and helped make the day so special. We loved sharing this time with you and look forward to welcoming you to more events in the future! 😊

Library Visit

Yesterday we had a wonderful visit from Caroline at Somerset Libraries, who came along to share some lovely stories with the children 📚✨

The children thoroughly enjoyed listening, joining in, and using their imaginations as the stories came to life. Story time is such a special way to encourage a love of books, language, and learning from an early age.

A big thank you to Caroline and Somerset Libraries for such an enjoyable session — we can’t wait to welcome you back again soon! 😊

People who help us

This morning our 3–4’s had a fantastic visit to the college campus, where they learned all about the amazing public services and the people who help keep us safe 🚓🚒🚑

The children explored the roles of police officers, firefighters and paramedics, and even had the chance to try on real uniforms and safety equipment! They were especially excited to look through a paramedic’s bag and discover all the important tools inside.

It was a fun, hands-on experience that sparked lots of curiosity and great conversations. Well done everyone for being such brilliant learners! 👏

🌿☀️ A beautiful day at Forest School! ☀️🌿

We’ve had such a lovely time outdoors! The children enjoyed planting sunflower seeds and getting hands-on with nature by making bird nests using sticky mud and hay 🪺🌻

We also worked together to build a fire, where we melted chocolate to dip our apple pieces in – a real treat! 🍎🍫

With the sun shining and the birds singing, it truly was a magical day in the forest 🌞🐦

These special moments help the children connect with nature, build confidence, and create wonderful memories 💚

Wow, what an amazing Mother’s Day Stay and Play we had today! 💐

A huge thank you to all our wonderful nursery families who came along to celebrate with us. It was such a lovely afternoon filled with smiles, special moments and quality time together. It was wonderful to see everyone enjoying the activities and creating special memories with the children.

We would also like to wish all the mums and special ladies in our lives a very Happy Mother’s Day!
