🏔️ We're taking on Mount Snowdon! 💚

On Saturday 3rd October, some of our amazing Early Bird Pre-School team will be climbing Mount Snowdon to raise money for air conditioning in our pre-school.

Every donation, no matter how big or small, will help us create a cooler, more comfortable learning environment for our children.

If you're able to support us, we'd be so grateful. Please donate using the QR code or GoFundMe link on the poster and help us reach the summit for a fantastic cause! 💚

Thank you so much for your support and encouragement! 🌿🏔️💚

We are Summer Party Ready ☀️🎉💛✨

20/07/2026

As another wonderful year comes to an end, it's time for one of the most bittersweet moments of the year... saying goodbye to so many amazing children. 💛✨

We feel incredibly privileged to have been the very first step in their educational journey. Watching them grow in confidence, discover their personalities and develop a love for learning through play has been an absolute joy.

To all of our children moving on to their next adventure at school, we are so proud of each and every one of you. We know you will continue to shine, and we wish you every success and happiness in this exciting new chapter.

To our wonderful families, thank you for trusting us with your precious little ones. It has been an honour to be part of your journey.

Have a fantastic summer everyone, and good luck to all of our school leavers.
Once an Early Bird, always an Early Bird. 🐦💙

We are thrilled to announce that Early Bird will be one of Ludwick’s lead partners as they roll out their role as an Early Years Stronger Practice Hub!

This is a huge step for early years leadership in our area, supporting settings to strengthen practice, share expertise, and raise outcomes for children across the sector.

We can’t wait to get stuck in and work alongside Ludwick to bring real, practical support to early years leaders and practitioners who need it most.

Watch this space for more on what this partnership will mean for our community.
