Can you feel it?

Babies have been investigating all their senses throughout the month, we have focused on a different sense each week. They have fully emersed their selves with a variety of materials and activities.


Ready, Steady, Bake!

Toddlers and Rising 3’s have shown an interest in pretending to bake in their indoor and outdoor environment, using the mud kitchen, pots, pans, microwaves, and other utensils. Following their interests each room baked some non-sugar biscuits and a lime cake to eat for dessert after tea.


Class of 2023…

Thank you for joining us at our preschool graduation, the rain didn’t dampen our celebrations! We wish all the 2023 school leavers exceptionally good luck for starting school in September! It has been our pleasure to look after the children and they will all be missed.


Parent Information

Although we should be enjoying our summer, the weather has not been consistent as we like. Please can we ask you to provide suncream, sunhat, wellies, and all in one suit. This has influenced the children’s health and well-being, so we ask you to familiarise yourself with our health hygiene and illness policy.
