*TRAVEL UPDATE*

Staff have risk assessed the routes coming into the village.

Tick Lane and Wilhayes Lane have no flood water and are safe to travel. Just be careful of low hanging branches and some debris on the road.

The road from Great Leigh is good just a few larger puddles around Mistleigh but very low.

The valley road from Dunsford towards Trusham is OK.

The road from the Teign House towards Doddi is flooded just past the first left hand bend in the road. It’s quite high (about 6inches). There are cars going through and we went through in a slightly higher profile car. But we wouldn’t recommend it for small or lower profile cars.

It’s so good to see PLAY firmly on the agenda across the media. In Early Years Settings across the country we see first hand the fundamental importance of play to learning and development. We love this short piece from the National Literacy Trust on why Play is so important to our children. We wish you all a happy and PLAYFUL weekend!
