Reopening Experiences
What would our New Normal be like when we reopened on 1st June 2020. How many children would return? How would we manage social distancing, cleaning and keeping everyone safe? A lot of work went into putting measures in place to minimise any risk of virus transmission, by the time 1st June arrived, we were […]
World Book Day
This was the first year we had joined in with World Book Day. We wanted to make sure it was about books more than costumes. Children brought their favourite book in, either in a costume or not. Key workers read the book with the child, and often other children came to listen too. A great […]
Zoom!
How lucky we are in these difficult times to have so many different ways to keep in touch. We are using Whats App, Texts and emails to make sure all our parents are kept informed, receive activity ideas and keep us to date with what their child is doing. We are holding Story times twice […]
Coronavirus
Following Government instructions we closed our doors on Friday 27th March. We had spent time beforehand teaching the children to wash hands, using a brilliant song and also talking to them about not spreading germs. Deciding to close was a very difficult decision for us to make. We had confirmed that all our children who […]

It was lovely to see older siblings, many of whom had attended Preschool. There were lots of themed activities such as Slime Making, finding scary critters in […]
Leaver Concert 2019 – 10th July 2019.
Although we call it our Leavers Concert in reality all our children are invited to take part. Music and singing are a big part of our life at Preschool, with songs and rhymes being sung every day. Our concert is very informal, like Sports Day families and friends coma along to form our audience. We […]
Sports Day 2019
This year was very different to last year, which was very hot and sunny. This year we had to cancel our first date due to heavy rain but on Monday 17th June although light showers were forecast, we decided to go ahead. All our children who want to take part, take part. We do try […]
May Day In Woodmancote 2019
This has to be one of our favourite events of the year. We always take part in the procession, this years theme was “Scarecrows” and we were delighted to see so many of our children dressed up and taking part. We were proud to win a best group prize and one of our little ones […]
