❤️ A very special retirement… ❤️

Tomorrow, after an incredible 30 years at Rosemary Lane Nursery School, our lovely Mrs Fenwick will be retiring 🥰

It is hard to put into words just how much Ann has given to Rosemary Lane over the years. She has been such a huge part of our nursery and our community, and has cared for and supported so many children and families along the way. We know there will be lots of our families, past and present, who know Ann and have their own lovely memories of her ❤️

Ann is such a special part of the Rosemary Lane family and, while we will miss seeing her every day, we are so happy for her as she gets ready to begin this exciting new chapter of her life.

We hope you will all join us in celebrating Ann’s amazing 30 years of dedication and wishing her all the love and happiness in the world for her retirement 🥂🎉

Ann, thank you for everything you have given to our children, our families and our nursery over the last 30 years. Rosemary Lane simply wouldn’t be the same without the mark you have left on it ❤️

Now it’s time for your next adventure… and we hope you enjoy every single minute! 🥰❤️

Learning about Remembrance Day in the Oak room. Our children have been finding out about being a real soldier by meeting a soldier from the army, looking at real medals and trying on the uniform. They could not believe how heavy the soldiers clothes are! 🌈🌅
