Have we told you our exciting news????
We have only won the Tesco Grant Golden Ticket!!!!
This means we have a whopping £5000 towards our plan to produce our own food for our families at Button Lane. The children will be growing our own vegetables in our brand new green house and we now have lots of equipment for the children to use. Our chicken Coop arrived yesterday so watch this space for the arrival of our new students (chickens). This is only possible because of the kind donations through Tesco Groundwork

We are hosting a "stay and play" session at our Nursery on Monday 29th April, 9am - 10.00am.

This will be an opportunity for you and your child to spend some time in our nursery setting, meet the staff and ask any questions you may have.

This session is for children that are starting in September or if you are still looking for the right Nursery for your child and want to come along to see what we offer.

If you would like to come along please contact the school office on 0161 945 1965 to book a place.

Well done everyone. It looks like we are doing well in the Tesco Baguley Store. Lets keep it going!

Last week the kind staff at Galt Toys came to volunteer their time. They achieved so much from painting the playground equipment, reading with children, gardening, building planters, removing all the seats from the Science bus and much more. Not only did they give up their time but they were kind enough to donate a huge amount of toys and resources for our children. We want to thank all the volunteers and Galt Toys for their generosity. Thank you

This bus belongs to our children to ensure they have the chance to enjoy many learning opportunities. The children were very upset yesterday to learn the news that their bus had been taken.
