As a setting we are continuing the Adventures with Alice programme which everyone is really enjoying and feel it is giving us new ideas and enhancing the environment for the children’s learning and development.
Resources
We purchased a new laptop for the setting. We updated the garden with money that was allocated to us through a 3+ setting grant. Adventures with Alice have also been giving us lots of new resources as part of their programme which is wonderful and the children are loving them.
