Amazing Lily-May 💖

Lily-May is 4 years old and has been having chemotherapy since she turned 1, to try and get her brain tumour under control. The tumour has caused her to have hydrocephalus, to go blind in her left eye and she also has limited vision in her right eye. We celebrated her finishing chemo after 3 years in October 2020, but unfortunately after 6 months her tumour has significantly grown and she will now complete another year of chemotherapy 💖

We are currently looking for a full time nursery worker to start at our new Woodland Nursery in September. Please email: [email protected] if you would like to find out more.

Looking for some excitement on your daily walk?
Two things littlies will love in the local area:

1) Check out the ponds at Lydekker park, thousands of tadpoles swimming around in the shallows and we even spotted a newt!

2) Baby ducklings have just hatched and are out swimming on the pond on Harpenden Common.

Lovely signs of Spring and regeneration and a great outdoor learning opportunity.

Using a hammer under close supervision not only helps develop fine motor skills but also builds a child's self confidence.

We love how Forest School helps our children development friendships and helps them learn how to support each other.
