We are hoping to lay a new soft play area for the children.
Baby Room
Our babies have been very busy with a variety of activities for our winter and Christmas displays over the last month and their work is now on display throughout baby room. During December we will be enjoying lots of Christmas themed activities as well as continuing to meet each child’s next steps through all areas of learning.
Could we please ask you to walk around the carpeted area in baby room now that winter and the damp weather is upon us, this will help to keep the carpet clean for our babies to play on. Thank you.
We would like to wish all our parents a merry Christmas and a very happy new year.
