It was lovely to see everyone returning and see how much the children have grown and progressed.

We welcome our new children and their families from​​ Monday 9th​​ September​​ as they start to join us each day.

Over the next few weeks the​​ returning​​ children will be adjusting to the change of​​ children attending, new children will be settling in and they will all be getting to know each other and bonding as a group.

Please make sure you are bringing in the items you signed up to on the snack and consumables list,​​ so we have fresh fruit and vegetables to serve the children at snack time.
