After 29 incredible years of dedication, today we say goodbye to a truly wonderful colleague as Kath begins her well-earned retirement.

Throughout her career, she has made an immeasurable difference to the lives of so many children and families, particularly through her passion and expertise in supporting children with special educational needs. Her kindness, patience, and unwavering commitment have supported countless children.

Thank you for everything you’ve given to our nursery over the past 29 years. Your compassion, wisdom, and friendship will be deeply missed, but your legacy will continue to inspire us every day.

Wishing you a happy, healthy, and fulfilling retirement filled with all the things you love. You have truly earned it. 💐❤️

And to end the week, our final forest school session for the children who have taken part every week this half term. By revisiting the experience children can build on and develop their skills in collaborative thinking, negotiating and working together to achieve an outcome. The fire and marshmallows is a well-earned treat for their hard work as a team.
