Head of School's Message

Dear Parents and Carers,

We are pleased to let you know that we have additional nursery sessions available through our Breakfast Club, Tea Club, and Evening Club.

These sessions are designed to offer flexible care to support your family’s needs. Each session includes a meal, with either breakfast or tea provided, ensuring children are well-nourished and ready to learn and play.

Our staff have carefully planned a range of activities to support all areas of children’s development, including social skills, communication, creativity, and physical development. The sessions are always managed by our experienced nursery staff, and children from across our three rooms have valuable opportunities to spend time together, building friendships and confidence in a relaxed and supportive environment.

If you feel you would benefit from extended care, even on a last-minute basis, please do not hesitate to get in touch. The school office will be happy to discuss availability, prices, and any specific requirements you may have.

Success Story of the Week!

Dear Parents,

This week’s local outings have been a great success and we are delighted to share how well they went. Although poor weather meant our first planned outing had to be cancelled, the second visit to the local park was thoroughly enjoyed by our children. Our youngest children especially loved exploring the surroundings and spending time together outdoors.

The additional adult helpers were so warmly welcomed – we truly could not run these events without your support and involvement.

The children had a wonderful time completing their scavenger hunt and discovering “environmental treasure” around the park, sparking curiosity and conversation.

We are hoping to carry out further walks next week with our Nursery children and are very excited to continue exploring the local area.

We can’t wait to see their delightful faces as they learn more about the world just beyond our nursery gates
