We have been quiet recently so let's have alittle catch up.
We have had a few staff role changes and would like to say congratulations to Rachael our new Manager and Jolene the leader of rainbows 🌈.
We went out together for bottomless bunch to end 2025.
We have been attending regularly meetings for updates and training.
The children enjoyed exploring the snow and ice conditions and now we are looking forward to the spring weather which we have had alittle taste of the last few days.
We also have our chick's that hatched this morning, i can't wait to see the children's faces when they go and check on them today. 🤩🐣🐤🐥
