The Death of Queen Elizabeth
We were saddened to hear of the death of Queen Elizabeth. She was an amazing role model to so many, devoting her life to our country and the Commonwealth. She will be sorely missed by the country and her family. Rest In Peace Your Majesty.

We had spent time beforehand teaching the children to wash hands, using a brilliant song and also talking to them about not spreading germs.

Christmas Party 2019
We always end the Autumn Term with a Christmas Party. This year it was held on 18th December.

We had a bouncy castle for children with lots of energy, as well as quieter activities. Mum’s, Dad’s and […]

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 […]
