Today at Holiday Club, we are having a fun day of pottery painting and stone art! The children have just hidden their beautifully decorated stones around the local area of The Willows.
If you happen to find one, we’d love for you to share a photo with us! You can keep your little treasure or re-hide it for others.

Here's a snippet of Holiday Club's science day...

🤎 Coke and mentos = explosion!
🌈 🌋Rainbow volcanoes
🫧Slime bubbles

Much fun was had by children (and staff!)
Thank you for a great day everyone.

We are excited to invite you to celebrate our 20th anniversary and the grand opening of our new Blossom Room! We would be delighted for you to join us, and please feel free to share this invitation with family and friends.

This is a wonderful opportunity to explore our Daycare, meet some of our team, reunite with old friends, and make new connections!

You are welcome to bring a picnic, enjoy a bounce on the bouncy castle, get your face painted, and try your luck in our raffle for a chance to win some fabulous prizes. All proceeds will be reinvested into our Daycare.

We're excited to share that there's a local event at the end of this month, and we’d love your help in spreading the word!

Earlier this year, we welcomed Ty to our daycare for basketball sessions, which the children absolutely enjoyed. Don’t miss out on this free event that Ty has organised at Chantry Academy!

Thank you to Hilly Ridge Alpacas for visiting us this morning, everyone at The Willows Daycare and Holiday Club were invited to meet the two adult and two baby alpacas.
The children and staff were given the opportunity to touch them to see which one felt the softest, feed them with a flat hand and then got to walk them! We were also given a gift of a little pack of Alpaca wool which was a lovely suprise!
Thank you Hilly Ridge!
