Head of school message

We had such a fantastic time during our Open Afternoon on Tuesday! It was wonderful to see so many of you join us, learning and exploring the nursery environment with your children. The children had a great time getting creative in the kitchen, and hopefully their delicious treats were a big hit! We hope you enjoyed them as much as they enjoyed making them.
We would like to wish you all a wonderful Mothering Sunday, sending love and appreciation to all the incredible mothers, aunties, daughters, grandmothers, and special people who bring so much warmth and care in your families.

On a separate note I am saddened to be leaving the school in a few weeks, but I want to take this opportunity to sincerely thank you and your children for your incredible support, kindness, and warmth. It has been a truly wonderful two terms, and I feel privileged to have been part of such a special community.

Success Story of the Week!

Our success of the week is the heart-warming MADGE Day we celebrated on Tuesday. This special event welcomed mums, aunties, and every special female in the children's lives to join us at the nursery. It was a joyful occasion filled with laughter and connection as the children proudly shared their day with these important figures.

In anticipation of Mothering Sunday, the children rolled up their sleeves and baked delicious biscuits as a token of love and appreciation for their mothers. This hands-on activity not only sparked creativity and enjoyment but also taught valuable skills in baking and teamwork. Seeing the children's excitement and pride in creating these special treats was truly a delightful experience for all. We're so grateful to everyone who joined and made MADGE Day a memorable success!
