As we come to the end of another wonderful year, we would like to say a huge thank you to all of our parents and children for the beautiful cards and thoughtful gifts we received. We were truly blown away by your kindness and generosity, and it means so much to us.

We have had such a fantastic year with the children. They have filled our days with love, laughter, and so many special memories. It is a privilege to be part of their preschool journey, and we are so grateful that you recognise the love, care, and dedication we put into making their time with us fun, nurturing, and full of happy experiences.

Our allotment is still thriving over the summer, and we would love for families to continue enjoying it. If you would like to visit, you’re very welcome to water the plants, help tend the vegetables, and harvest anything that’s ready. There are plenty of beetroots, courgettes, green beans, onions, and more, with tomatoes not far behind! We hope it will be a lovely place for families to spend time together and for the children to continue learning and connecting with nature during the holidays.
Our plot is 165A, on the right hand side as you walk along the path from the townside entrance. Look for our Peter Rabbit scarecrow.
We wish all of our families a wonderful and relaxing summer. To all of our children who are leaving us to start big school in September, we are so proud of you and wish you the very best on your exciting new adventure.

⚽ Thank You! ⚽

A big thank you to everyone who joined us for our Father’s Day Breakfast. We were delighted with the fantastic turnout and it was great to see so many families enjoying the morning together. The children especially had a wonderful time with their dads and loved ones. Since introducing our World Cup topic the children have been enjoying learning about football through a range of activities, developing their teamwork, ball skills, coordination, and confidence, while also learning about different countries and working together as a team.

Thank you for your continued support.

Yesterday we spent some time at our allotment and were able to pick some of our first vegetables, including radishes and lettuces. The children loved being outside and seeing how much the plants they’ve helped grow have changed over the past few weeks. It was such a lovely experience harvesting food we’d grown ourselves, enjoying the fresh air, and spending time together surrounded by nature. 🥬🫜

As we come to the end of our Once Upon a Time topic, here are some photographs of our play hut inspired by The Three Little Pigs. The children enjoyed exploring the different activities, using their imaginations, and bringing the story to life through play and learning.
