Football, cricket, archery, nerf guns followed by a chippy and pizza tea…. Not forgetting the bottle of fizz. Thank you for all being amazing families… ( permission from parents to post photos)

A fab day out today at conkers . Kids had a blast ..

Unfortunately on Thursday I had to close my doors for 10 days as my son has tested positive for covid 19 after self isolating from school.
Luckily it’s only headache and we are all ok.
After being open throughout this pandemic with no time off I was so upset to close but all the lovely comments of my families reassured me.
The end of the school year came round quicker than planned. But we got our days out and graduation.
Thanks for the lovely messages and my leaving presents ..
Enjoy the summer ..
