We've had a fantastic first year at Early Learning Steps Sutton Valence. We would like to thank all the families who attend for putting your trust in us to look after and educate your children.
We wish our school leavers all the very best for the next chapter in their lives.
We are back on 7th September and look forward to welcoming back our existing children and families and welcoming our new children and families.
Have a great summer. From Ellen Diane, Julie and Sarah xx

While many of us look forward to the England game, major sporting events can bring increased fear and risk for people experiencing domestic abuse.

Please can we remind everyone if your child is ill please do not send them in. If your child has an upset stomach please keep them at home for 48 hours after their last bout of illness.

There seems to be a few slipping through, please be honest as we would hate to have to close the setting for 48 hours due to staff illness.

Thank you for your continued support.

These Squeezy Dumplings toys are being recalled due to a serious chemical risk.

Testing found that the outer layer contains excessive levels of benzene.

If you have this product, stop using it immediately and keep it out of the reach of children.

And don’t forget, other counterfeit versions may also contain harmful levels of dangerous chemicals.

✓ Buy from trusted retailers if you can – cheap copies may not meet our safety standards
✓ Check for proper labelling – missing safety information is a sign it could be dangerous
✓ If the toy is damaged, leaking or smells unusual, stop using it
✓ Avoid buying for under 3s - they’re most at risk from dangerous toys.
