"The more children look for kindness, beauty, joy and wonder, the more they will find it.

"And the more they find it, the more they can help create it — for themselves, and for everyone they meet along the way." ❤️

Our Writer in Residence Tom Percival has been thinking about how reading can help to spread the joy.

And he says it can make a difference by...

- Building connections between people - from readers and authors, to friends enjoying the same books
- Helping readers to feel seen and understood
- Sparking new passions and hobbies
- Helping readers to see the world in a more positive light, giving them time to see the beauty around us ✨

👉 How have you seen reading bring joy to children's lives?

Not only did we say goodbye to our preschoolers today.

We also said goodbye to our Samii

There are not enough words to explain how special you are to us all here at Smartie Pants. The past 7 years have been one wild loud ride and we would not change it for the world.

Good luck on your new adventure and if you ever get time, pop in and say hello.

All the best
Smartie Pants Tetney ❤️

We are all set for tomorrows graduation, we will see you all for a prompt 11am start

The stage is set, it's time to shine,
We've grown and learned in our own sweet time.
From tiny steps to confident strides,
With smiling faces and hearts full of pride.

We've painted, counted, laughed, and played,
Made precious memories every day.
We've shared, we've cared, we've learned what's right,
And filled our days with pure delight.

Now it's time to spread our wings,
To see what all tomorrow brings.
Though we'll miss our nursery friends,
This is not the end—it just begins.

So clap and cheer as we wave goodbye,
With happy hearts and heads held high.
The stage is set for dreams anew,
And big adventures waiting too!
