Good evening!

We hope everyone had a positive and happy start to the new school year! A short week to start - but reality may hit for us all next week as we get back to our proper routines!

It was very lovely to welcome Cygnets back last week - everyone had grown taller and we were all happy to be back together! We welcomed some new friends to Cygnets and we hope they'll soon be settled. There will be more new friends join us this week too.

We have seen some photos of Cygnets that started Big School last week - they all looked smart in their uniforms and very happy and excited! We hope they had the best start and miss them already!

This week we will continue to settle in, explore our environment and make new friendships. Time to get busy, play and learn and have lots of fun!

See you in the week! πŸ’œ

The holidays are all but over and we can't wait to welcome Cygnets back tomorrow! We also look forward to meeting new friends over the next week.

The nursery and everything in it has been cleaned and prepared ready for another year of play, fun and learning!

To all those Cygnets starting Big School this week, have a great time and carry on being those amazing, gorgeous little people we know you are! Send us some pics of you in your uniform on your first day - we'd love to see them!

See you soon! ❀️

Thanks to everyone who joined us at Nowton Park yesterday! It was so good to catch up with everyone and see how excited the children were to see each other. πŸ’› Coffee, ice-cream, catch-ups and time to chat and welcome new families to Cygnets made for a fun morning in the sun!
We were lucky enough to have the chance to chat to some lovely Police officers and make fingerprint keyrings too. Even Take Home Ted got a look in!

We look forward to seeing you at our next meeting at Nowton on Friday, 14 August from 10am outside the cafe. Enjoy the sun! β˜€οΈ

Good evening!

We hope everyone is well and enjoying the break so far! It's definitely not the summer holiday weather we're used to - where is the rain??!! πŸ˜‚

Work doesn't stop in Cygnets just because it's the holiday - it was day two of the super summer clean today! Every toy, piece of Lego, box, unit, tray etc., etc., etc., gets washed and cleaned ready for the new term. All areas of the building will also be deep cleaned at the end of August ready for Cygnets to return to a shiny, sparkly nursery inside and out!

Just to remind everybody, we are meeting at Nowton Park from 10am tomorrow. We'll be by the cafe, of course! We look forward to seeing you if you can make it - we know it'll be hot but just a catch up for an hour or so will be great for the children and I'm sure parents too! All families, past, present and future are welcome!

See you tomorrow!

Good morning!

A beautiful sunny start to the holidays!

Firstly, the staff team would like to thank you for your kinds words and gifts at the end of the school year. Your gifts are much appreciated and enjoyed, but your words mean so much. The last day is always a bitter sweet one as we say goodbye to Cygnets who have been part of our lives for such a long time, but we wish them well and lots of happiness as they take their next step and continue their onward journeys. For those Cygnets who are just 'on a break', we look forward to spending more time with you after a little rest! It'll be September in the blink of an eye!

Before then, we will be meeting up at Nowton Park to get together with Cygnets past, present and future! It's a chance for the children to stay in touch, foster new friendships and perhaps most importantly, gives parents/carers the chance to enjoy a coffee and some adult conversation!!

We will meet outside the coffee shop/playground from 10am on:

* Wednesday, 29th July 2026
* Friday, 14th August 2026
* Wednesday, 26th August 2026

We hope you can join us and look forward to seeing you there. In the meantime, 'Happy Holidays'! πŸ’œ

Good evening!

We hope everyone's had a great weekend enjoying the slightly cooler weather, the football (It's coming home!) or the tennis!

Well we've made it to the final week of another Cygnets' academic year - truly one of the fastest years ever! We are looking forward to the week ahead enjoying re-runs of Cygnets' favourite things to do, tomorrow's trip to Banham Zoo and the chance to spend that last bit of special time with your amazing children. On Friday, it'll be time for some goodbyes and to wish our leavers all the luck in the world as they take the next steps in their journey and start Big School. It has been a privilege to be a part of each Cygnets' journey and we hope we have played some small part in helping them to be the amazing, resilient and happy little people they are. No doubt there will be a few tears shed, but we hope you and your children will take away some special memories, have made some special friends and think of us with fondness!

For those Cygnets returning in September, we can't wait to make more happy memories with you!

On Friday, we plan to have a day of favourites! The weather forecast is exceptionally hot again and we will choose exactly what we do later in the week. However, we have plans A, B and C in place, so inside or out, fun will be had and Cygnets will get wet, dirty or messy........or all of the above! 🀣 If your child does not normally attend Cygnets on a Friday, they are invited to join us from 12.10pm for a hot farewell lunch and to enjoy an afternoon of activities until our usual pick up time. Please confirm with a member of staff that your child will require a hot lunch on this day. There is no charge for this meal but any donations towards the cost would be gratefully received!

At last, just 1 sleep till we go to Banham Zoo! Everyone should have received an email with final details this morning - please check your inbox! If you have any queries, please do get in touch and arrive promptly at 9.10am.

Looking forward to a memorable week! πŸ’œ
