Anyone available to come and have a look at our preschool washing machine either tomorrow or Monday? It will only work if the drum is 1/4 full and even then is very temperamental. Would love for it to be sorted before the summer break.

A big thank you to all that supported our stall at the school fair today. Carol Lucas was our lucky winner of the 'call me maybe' game, there were huge queues for the 'sponge paul wet pants' and our bonus ball game is nearly full. We raised £146 and had lots of fun too. Have a lovely weekend all

Our last Lache pop-up before September! 💙

First session today

Just a quick appreciation post for our amazing teampurple. This week was a particularly challenging week but as always, they pulled together to go above and beyond. Not only have they kept our little people safe and comfortable this week with just a fan and some water play, but they've done it with such professionalism, love and dedication.
We appreciate you teampurple💜
A huge thank you to our families too for your patience, cooperation and on going support.

We made it!!
