π¦β¨ Fly high, butterfly! β¨π¦
A few weeks ago, our daycare children had the joy of releasing our five beautiful butterflies, and we didnβt want to miss sharing this magical moment!
Over five weeks, the children watched them grow from tiny caterpillars into fluttering beauties. Every new change brought excitement, big smiles, and lots of βlook!β moments. Seeing them finally take flight was the sweetest ending. πΌ
A lovely little adventure in nature for our curious little ones. π¦

π A huge well done to our afterβschool club children! π
Weβre so proud of the fantastic safety posters they created last week. Each one was full of colour, creativity and brilliant ideas about keeping themselves safe online, in public, and on the roads.
Every child put real thought into their individual design, and it truly shows. πβ¨
Amazing work, everyone β keep it up! π΅β€οΈ

ππ What an amazing May Half Term at Holiday Club! πβοΈ
Our Under the Sea adventure was packed with creativity, fun, and discovery. The children enjoyed making ocean-themed crafts, baking delicious treats, exploring exciting STEM experiments, and taking part in lots of team games and challenges.
With glorious weather all week, there was plenty of outdoor fun and water play to keep everyone cool. The children had a fantastic time splashing around and the staff definitely got their fair share of soakings too! π¦π
From building boats and sandcastles to shark tag, scavenger hunts, slime making, and mocktail creating, there was something for everyone to enjoy.
Thank you to all the children who joined us and made the week so special. We loved seeing so many smiles, new friendships, and happy memories being made! ππ

We were so lucky to welcome Turbo and Mini for a very special tortoise visit. The children absolutely loved meeting them, learning all about them, and watching them race each other around! π
There were lots of smiles, laughter, and excitement as the children cheered on their favourite tortoise.
A wonderful hands-on experience that everyone enjoyed! π
Turbo and Mini have now gone home for a well-earned rest after their busy day of racing and meeting lots of new friends! π’π€
