• Latest advice to Key Workers following shutdown announcement made 23.3.2020

  Tue 24 Mar 2020 Helen Ruffles

  Following on from the advice of the Prime Minister yesterday, to lockdown our country as far as possible to keep everyone safe, we would urge all key workers to consider if their children have to come into school. 

  If at all possible, the safest place for your children is at home - we are only open to those children whose parents are critical workers and have no other choice but to attend.

  Thank you for your support in this

  Parents who attended todays café have had a great time being creative.  We provided a range of resources which included fabric, different papers, glues, wool and felt.  Parents made cards, pictures, dolls clothes, iPad case and a handbag!!

  Thank you to all who attended.

   

  A few parents have shown an interest in sewing sessions using sewing machines - we are investigating the possibility of this.  If it is something you might be interested in please let Jackie and Alison know.

  A massive thank you to the 44 families who attended our Bedtime story session from 4.00-5.00pm.

   

  A great time was had by all.  All children came in their pyjamas (some parents even joined in too!!)  Firstly there was hot chocolate and biscuits before snuggling up with cuddly toys to listen to the staff read some of their favourite bedtime stories.

  There was a choice of:

  The tiger who came to tea

  Shark in the dark
