🌱🪵 SUMMER HOLIDAYS 🪵🌱

The plan was to do an all outdoor holiday club for children aged 5-11 to attend unattended!

Unfortunately this summer that’s not going to be possible with a few issues regarding insurances, ofsted and lots of other red tape and my own childcare requirements it’s just not possible this summer!

I’ve had so much interest in the holiday club and I’m really disappointed it’s not been possible for the summer! I’ve got my fingers crossed for October half term.

My plan is that throughout the summer we will do, Forest school family days for children of all ages to attend with their parents!

🪵🌿 SUMMER 2021 JUST GOT BETTER🌿🪵
