Hamp Nursery and Infants School

☀️ Wishing all of our wonderful children and families a fantastic summer holiday! 🌈💙

If you're moving on, we wish you the very best of luck on your next adventure. ⭐ If you're returning, we can't wait to welcome you back on Monday 7th September 2026!

Have a safe, happy and fun-filled summer. Thank you for being part of our Hamp family. 💛

🪵 A massive thank you to Brookridge Timber for their very kind donation of wood for our EYFS outdoor areas.

👏 We would also like to give a special thank you to Mr Weatherburn and our amazing volunteers, who have worked so hard to create a fantastic 🥣 mud kitchen, 🏗️ construction area and 🪑 benches for our children to enjoy.

Their dedication, creativity and hard work have helped transform our outdoor space into an exciting place for learning and play.

😊 The children have been so excited by the new project and have already been representing their knowledge, skills and creativity in lots of fun and engaging ways. 🌱🎨🔨

💚 It has been wonderful to see their enthusiasm and imagination flourish in these new areas. We look forward to planning and developing even more exciting projects in the future!

🙏 Thank you to everyone who has helped make this possible. Together, we are creating amazing opportunities for our children to learn, explore and grow. ✨

🎓 Reminder for our Year 2 families 🎓

Our Leavers' Assembly will take place tomorrow at Holy Trinity Church. We can't wait to celebrate this special milestone with you all. 💙

We've also set up a 🎈 balloon arch and a 🎉 Leavers 2026 banner at school, which will be available over the next few days. Please feel free to pop in and take some special photos to remember the occasion. 📸

A gentle reminder to please be mindful of other families and avoid taking photos that include other children unless you have their parents' or carers' permission.

We look forward to celebrating with you tomorrow! 🌟

🌞 School & Nursery Open Tomorrow (Friday 26th June) 🌞

We will be open as normal tomorrow and will continue all of our hot weather measures to keep children safe and comfortable. 💧🧢

We know many children have struggled to sleep during the hot nights and may be feeling more tired or dysregulated than usual. Parents know their children best, so if you feel it isn't in your child's best interests to attend tomorrow due to the ongoing extreme heat, their absence will be authorised.

If your child is attending, please apply sun cream before school, send them with a sun hat and dress them in cool, lightweight clothing – school uniform is not required.

Thank you for your continued support. 💙
