We were lucky enough to have Cassandra Pattern visit us! Cassandra is a bronze medallist, and it was amazing to hear her story. The children thoroughly enjoyed meeting her and joining in with all of the activities on the day. Well done to everyone that took part!

Nursery Forest School Come sun, rain, frost or snow - our forest school sessions run every single week, embracing the seasons just as nature intended. Based at our own dedicated nursery forest school site, children are free to explore the woodland at their own pace, guided by curiosity, imagination and a sense of adventure. Each session is an opportunity to discover, build, decorate, create and connect. From muddy boots and woodland crafts to den building, storytelling and quiet moments of wonder, forest school offers rich experiences that support confidence, independence and a love for the natural world. We believe learning happens best outdoorswhere children can test ideas, ask questions, take risks safely and enjoy meaningful time with one another. There's no rush, no pressure, just space to explore, extend curiosity and grow together. no additional cost sessions every week Open in all weathers Nature-based learning, play and connection

Exploring Asia: Our Journey began in China This term Nursery have started an exciting new theme, Exploring Asia, and our first stop was China. The children have been learning all about Chinese New Year, taking part in celebrations both indoors and outdoors. They explored beautiful lanterns, discovered red envelopes, enjoyed role-play with dragons, and had lots of fun with noodles and chopstick exploration, developing their fine motor skills through hands-on play. These activities encouraged curiosity, creativity, and conversations about different cultures and traditions from around the world. It has been a joyful, sensory-rich start to our learning journey, and we are excited to continue travelling through Asia.
