The new website is up and running and look fantastic The children and staff enjoyed a cooked Christmas dinner, party games and presents. Our only fundraising for the year has been from online events and photo sales Lottery £777.90 Amazon £47.96 Photos £25

Children’s number were down again at the start of the Spring term due to Covid 19, but slowly grew after a few weeks. New children joined throughout the term. A new laptop has been acquired for staff use. We also purchased an outside canopy to protect the children from the rain and sun.

The mud kitchen area is now up and running, the children have been having great fun making and cooking mud cakes and other interesting things! The children were able to enjoy an outing to the Big Sheep at the end of term.
