🎃 Introducing Our Sponsored Halloween Fun Day! 👻

On Friday 30th October 2026, Papermoon Nursery will be hosting a fun-filled Sponsored Halloween Fun Day in support of Crackerjacks Children’s Trust.

Throughout the day, the children will take part in a range of exciting Halloween-themed activities, including:

🎃 Halloween Fun Run
🏃 Spooky Obstacle Race
📚 Halloween Scary Read-a-thon
🎃 Pumpkin Hunt

🎃 Get Creative at Home!

We would love for parents and families to get involved from home by showcasing their creative pumpkin carving skills! Children can bring their decorated pumpkins in to take part in our Halloween Pumpkin Carving Competition, with the winner announced at the end of the day.

👻 Help Us Raise as Much as Possible!

A sponsor form will be sent home with every child who attends a Friday session. We would be extremely grateful for your support in helping your child collect as many sponsors as possible for taking part in the fun filled day.

There will also be a special prize for the child who collects the most sponsorship money! 🏆

Thank you in advance for helping us make this a memorable day for the children while raising money for such a fantastic cause.

Let’s get spooky, get creative and have lots of Halloween fun! 🎃👻🕷️

Are you concerned about your child’s speech and language?

If the answer is yes, then our Little Talkers groups could be a good starting point for you and your child.

Little Talkers can help by:

• Developing children’s speech, language, and communication by sharing positive interactions strategies with parents/carers.
• Adopting a family learning approach - parent/carer and child to attend together.
• Supporting children and families who are about to start in a school-based nursery provision.

If you want to find out more about Little Talkers, and see if it is the right programme for you and your family:

• Get in touch by phone or email.
• Scan the QR code.
• Just walk into one of our Hubs where staff will be happy to help.
