Today marked 26yrs since mum and I interviewed Donna as a 17yr old apprentice. Who would have guessed back then that she would achieve so much and go on to become the nursery manager ♥️ We went to the cafe next door for a lovely lunch today to celebrate 🥳 why not share your memories of Donna over the years below 😉

How much do you know about St George's Day? Try this fun quiz to check your knowledge - CBeebies
How much do you know about St George's Day? Are you ready to celebrate St George's Day? Take the quiz to see how much you know.
We love this, it really embraces some of the most important characteristics in the early years learning framework, being willing to have a go, being ok with failing at first but persevering and trying again ... its pretty catchy too, we hope you enjoy it.

3 year olds aren't always ready to be plunged into the school environment and there is plenty of research that suggests our current UK education system may be asking too much of our children too soon ...
So if your child is preparing for a step on from learning at home with you but maybe you feel they just aren't quite ready for a big school environment why not come and see what we can offer.
We have spaces available in our pre-school classroom from September 2026. With excellent early education wrapped up in attentive care. A class size of up to 24 children. Staffing ratios of only 1:8 and a familiar consistent, experienced staff team here from the start to the end of each day. Our team are qualified from level 3 up to level 5 / foundation degree, with one staff member working towards level 7 which is equivalent to masters level study.
So maybe there is a better choice for your little ones,
And maybe private education is more affordable than you think, all we ask for is a small financial contribution towards meals and extra curricular activities but at only £30.64 a mth for breakfast and lunch I'm sure you agree it may actually save you money on your weekly household bills.
We offer a range of activities including use of our own minibus to go on trips to the local old peoples home, forest school sessions, leapfrog sports sessions and our very own visiting music teacher.
So if you want to know more get in touch by visiting our website at www.tenderyears.co.uk and use the red button on the top right hand side to add your details to our waiting list. Don't forget to tell us how you might want to use your 15 or 30 hrs and we will be in touch with your options.
