We have worked hard to improve communication with our families, believing that building strong bonds between Bubbles and home significantly improves the quality of service we provide for both our children and their families. We now have an active facebook closed group, and all our families are linked to us via our on line learning journal, Tapestry.

This year we extended our Special Educational Needs and Disabilities provision (SEND), by offering additional places to children with SEND. Extra training for staff, working with other professionals and taking on extra support staff helped us to succeed in this new challenge.

We remained open during the second lockdown, when all other schools were closed. Incredible efforts were made to keep staff and children safe during the height of the second wave of the Coronavirus pandemic. No positive cases of Covid-19 were identified within our staff and children, allowing us to stay open throughout the whole year. Fundraising efforts enabled us to purchase a new admin laptop, new outdoor resources as well as providing fresh and exciting activities throughout the year.
