NOTICE: : Save the date! We are having a fundraising stay and play session on the 19th of November 12-2pm. We welcome donations of cakes to sell and the playgroup team will provide drinks for a small donation. Please join us.

As usual the weekly blog represents a snapshot of what most of the children participate in during the week. Please speak to your child's key person if you would like to have further information about your child's interests and progress. You are welcome to ask your key person for feedback at any time and book a time to have a meeting for feedback on how your child is progressing.
Hoping you all have a lovely weekend.
Best wishes, Julia, Grace, Sharon, Lisa, Hannah, Jackie and Amy
