Term 5 has started and we are focussing on sowing some seeds at the start of term for the vegetable patch, as well as some to sell at the Nursery Plant Sale on the 10th of May.

Help us raise funds for resources for the children by donating some plants, buying some plants or making a donation via our Localgiving page. Every donation counts!

Our friends and neighbours over at Florence Park: Flo’s the Place in the Park are running free children’s meals over the holidays. Great cafe, green park with lovely play area. Hop over the bridge and check it out!

Looking for recommendations for a cleaner or cleaning company to take on floor cleaning 3 times a week - 3 hours in the evenings on Monday, Wednesday and Friday term time. Deep cleans required in the holidays two or three times a year.

Essential qualities: reliability, stickler for detail and a clean environment and good communication skills.

Thank you everyone

What do you think?

Really interesting and helpful research discussed in this article.

Here at Lake Street we would advocate screen free bedtimes - wind down before bed without screens helps children (and adults) prepare for sleep better

You may have seen in the news that today the UK government announced a formal review into the impact on screen time on children under five. Probably about time.

The findings should be interesting - but we don't need to wait until the results of the review come out to start the conversation!

In this article over on The PLAYlist I've summarised some of the current research, why it matters and how we, as practitioners, can better support families navigate this tricky area.

Spoiler - it's more about balance than banning!

Give it a read and feel free to share your thoughts!

Term 3 already and we have new children joining us: Welcome to them and their families.
We have started term reading the story of Stick Man and Stanley’s Stick and exploring the many uses for the humble stick as well as creating our own stick people or creatures for the garden.

We have copies of all our Group Time stories of the week on our Library Trolley in the Lobby for the children to borrow.
