First Friends Nursery & Out Of Schools

1st day of holiday club 2026 and the children have been modelling with air dry clay. Bug hunting and treasure hunting with a metal detector were a new favourite. Children have had a great time, tried something new and made some new friends 💙🩷💙💙🩷💙

Thank you once again for the donations of teddies for the St Albansbury. This was a fantastic event and raised us another 191.00, bringing the total to 511.00.
We have already purchased an inflatable water slide for the summer holiday club and we will be asking the children what they would like to spend the rest of the money on.

We are still looking for donations of teddies for our annual fundraising @ St Albansbury and Oakfest.
Previous years we have been able to buy the out of school clubs a trampoline, bikes and helmets, outdoor table tennis, and many other pieces of equipment that we would not otherwise be able to afford.
Thank you to all those that have already donated. These events are only successful with your support.

Spread the word. We’d love to see you all there. 💕💕

IT’S NEARLY TIME…
