We’ve just had a visit from First Steps Day Nursery they are in town spreading joy and random acts of kindness - what a lovely bunch of youngsters. They were heading off for ice creams when they left, not before making their purchases for their next crochet projects 🥰

A mouse took stroll through the deep dark wood. A fox saw the mouse and mouse looked good.

“ where are you going to little brown mouse? Come and have lunch in my underground house”

“ It’s terribly kind of you, Fox, but no - I’m going to have lunch with a gruffalo”

Today we celebrated 27 years of The Gruffalo - a staple book in every early years setting & often a fond favourite - A themed feast for our children to enjoy! 😋🎈🥳
