Additionally, for safeguarding reasons, we ask that all parents/carers remain vigilant when waiting at the front entrance during pick-up. Please ensure your child stays with you at all times and does not stand near the front door unsupervised to prevent any potential risks.

Success Story of the Week!

We are delighted to share our success of the week! The children in the Conker Room enjoyed a wonderful community walk to the local shop, where they used their World Book Day book tokens to select exciting new books. This experience not only encouraged their love for reading but also introduced them to the concept of exchanging tokens for books.

Additionally, the children visited the flower stall in town, where they had the opportunity to explore and appreciate a variety of beautiful blooms. This engaging outing helped broaden their understanding of the community and its offerings
