🎓💙 CLASS OF 2026 💙🎓

Yesterday, we had a lovely afternoon celebrating the gorgeous children leaving us as they move up to Primary School.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, it was so lovely to share this occasion with so many of you ❤️

The afternoon was filled with lots of mixed emotions, mostly excitement and joy as they all embark on their new journeys but also sadness as we won’t see their little faces or hear their little voices every day 🥹

We’ve been so honoured to share our time with each and every child, getting to know them so well and watch them grow in so many ways. They have all done so incredibly well, developing and learning skills that will help with in their next transition. Thank you to all our families for trusting us with your precious ones and letting us be a part of their story.

We wish you all well and look forward to hearing how they continue to develop and grow to be such wonderfully unique individuals 💙🧡

Thank you also to all parents for our generous leavers gift, we look forward to organising a lovely trip for us all to spend some time together outside of work 💕

One last BIG thank you is of course to my amazing team of Kingfisher ladies. I cannot express my gratitude for the time and effort they put in every single day to make Kingfisher such a special and magical place for our team to work but more importantly for the children to thrive, learn and grow. I’m lucky to call them friends, not just colleagues. You’re all simply THE BEST 💝
