Head of school / Day Care Manager 's message

It has been a wonderful first week back for some of the children. We are delighted to see how settled and happy the children have been as they return to their daily routines. Their enthusiasm for learning is truly inspiring, and it is a pleasure to watch them reconnect with friends and staff. Those who were here for holiday club had a fun packed week as did the daycare children.

A big thank you to all parents for attending our first parent consultations of the year. We hope you found these meetings informative and helpful in understanding your child’s progress and development. Your partnership and engagement in your child’s education make a significant difference, and we look forward to offering these consultations again next term.

Wishing you and your families a restful and enjoyable weekend!

Success Story of the Week!

This week has been a resounding success at Nursery as the children have thoroughly enjoyed spending time in our cosy book corner. This special space has become a favourite spot where they love to look at and share books with their friends. By engaging with books in a comfortable setting, they are not only developing their reading skills but also enhancing their social development. Sharing stories and pictures promotes communication and allows them to express their thoughts and feelings, contributing to their overall growth. It's wonderful to see their enthusiasm for reading and social interaction flourishing!
