I know that as the year draws to a close I am writing words similar to those 12 months ago but it is true to say that it has been has been another great year. Our EYFS vision to provide an environment that is Stimulating and safe, Tactile and creative, Active and physical, Real and relevant, enabling our children to Shine as independent, successful STARS seems to have produced just that! Seeing the children practising for our annual Sports Day, which unfortunately had to be cancelled due to very wet grass, on the stage at Christmas in front of a huge audience and everything they have done on a weekly basis shows me how incredible your children are. The children are real stars and deserve a very happy and healthy summer break.

With 26 new children visiting the Transition and Nursery classes it is a busy time and we have to say that the existing children have shown great warmth and kindness in welcoming them. The new children are lovely and we look forward to them joining us in September. I am still seeing prospective parents so that the number of new children in September might be even greater! A big thank you goes to you for your wonderful recommendations and the very kind words which many of you have written to us recently. The Nursery children who are transferring to Transition in September have had introductory sessions and have really enjoyed their experiences so the staff are all looking forward to their classes in the Autumn term.
