A sad farewell...
Posted by admin on July 17, 2017
It’s our last week at Pre-School before the summer holiday. We will be getting the tissues out as we say a sad farewell to our little ones who are moving onto the next stage of their educational career. We are so proud of the achievements our children have made during their short time with us. They have developed so many skills, sharing, building relationships, talking confidently, mark making, having fun… so in the words of Nanny McPhee, our job is done!
Getting ready for school
Posted by admin on July 10, 2017
It’s only two weeks now until we break up for the summer holidays. It will be a sad time for us as we will be saying cheerio to our children who are moving onto ‘big’ school. We have been busy meeting their new teachers and writing reports, but we hope their last days with us will be filled with fun. Next week we are having our teddy bears picnic, watch out for our newsletter giving you the information that you need.
Roar!!

It’s the start of our dinosaur topic – which we know will be very popular, especially with two of our boys who are absolutely mad about dinosaurs! Does anyone have any fossils or anything else pre-historic related? If so we would love to show the children – please speak with a member of our team.

At home with your child

You could jot a few words down that your child said, what you did and where you went, attach a photograph or an item you have collected e.g. an admission ticket, a flower. It doesn't have to be a lot. This week or weekend at home.pdf Copies also available in Pre-School.

Children say...
We are very privileged to work with your fantastic children and we would like to share with you the things they tell us....
As we were talking about our families one little boy said that in his family he had, "mummy, daddy, me and kitchens..."
Coming in from outside a little boy said, "Two of my ears are hurting"
"Have you got a vest on" one little asked when the lady said no she asked, "why not?" Good question!! Mother knows best!!
