🌟 Welcome to a New School Year! 🌟

Welcome to a brand-new school year at Portsmouth High Prep School!

If you have a little one at home, we’d love you to come along and join our lovely Stay & Play toddler groups — a chance for little ones to explore, have fun and make new friends, while grown-ups can enjoy a friendly and welcoming community too.

Mondays are Stay & Story, with stories, songs and lots of fun activities to enjoy together.

And on Tuesdays, it’s Stay & Explore — getting outdoors, adventuring, crafting and having plenty of fun!

Groups start at 9.30am at 36 Kent Road, PO5 3ES

Everyone is welcome, it’s just £3 for one child, or £5 for a sibling group.

We’d love to see you there — come along, explore and make some memories with us!

Today we read Dog’s Colourful day and then sorted pom-poms to decorate our big Dog, we remembered our colours and had fun making beaded bracelets and playing in the home corner.

Join us tomorrow for Stay and Explore at 9.30, drop me a message if you would like to join us. It’s £3 cash on the door or £5 for a sibling group.

Usually this group is outside but we might seek shelter if the rain is as heavy as currently forecast!
