What a wonderful few weeks settling back into preschool. We have been so busy getting to know each other and exploring our school. We have been reading 'The Colour Monster' story and have used our new knowledge to create some really great art work.

If you are thinking about a space for your child, please pop in and meet the Nursery Team. We still have a few sessions available.
