Our Pre-Prep children have been busy getting creative and thoughtful this week! ๐ฐโจ
They designed and made special shreddable toy for our nursery rabbits, Bambi & Thumper. Using safe, natural materials, the children explored how to enrich the rabbitsโ environment while learning about animal care and wellbeing.
It was wonderful to see their teamwork, imagination, and kindness in action and even better watching Bambi & Thumper enjoy their new toy! ๐
Well done, Pre-Prep! ๐ฟ

A huge thank you to everyone who donated towards our Disney Disco Day fundraiser in aid of The LimbBo Foundation ๐
The children had an absolutely magical day, dressing up in their favourite Disney outfits and costumes, singing and dancing along to much-loved songs, getting creative with crafts, baking cakes, and decorating delicious biscuits. Even the staff joined in the fun with their own costumes! ๐ฐโจ
It truly was a fun-filled day enjoyed by everyone, and we are so grateful for the kindness and generosity shown by our wonderful community.
Our JustGiving page is still open, so if you havenโt had a chance to donate yet, there is still time to support this amazing cause:

A huge thank you to Manchester Academy of Gymnastics for allowing us to visit their fantastic centre for our nursery trip today. The children were so well behaved and thoroughly enjoyed their time there.
A special thank you to Giarnni Regini-Moran, British Gymnast, World and Commonwealth Champion, who kindly took the time to come and say hello to the children.
Thank you also to all our staff and parent helpers, trips like this wouldnโt be possible without your support.
