Numbers are looking good for the September start. Staff has remained the same this year, with Lynda reducing her hours a little and Charlotte and Lisa continuing to work at Bees Knees. I’m very excited that we have been chosen to do the Tesco Veg and Fruit grant, which will be starting mid August in Faversham Tesco. This will give us funds to put towards the children growing and learning about food. A big thank you to the staff as always, with their hard work and dedication. And of course to the committee for giving up their time to keep Bees Knees operating. Katie Smith Managers Report 08/07/26 We end this year with 14 children, only losing 2 for school, with interest in places for September strong. We have been busy trying new activities with the children this year, resulting in them getting very messy in play, but having thoroughly enjoyed themselves. We have applied for Tesco for the Fruit and Veg grant again. Jenny continues to visit once a term to sing and read a story to the children. I would like to thank all the staff and committee for their hard work and support. Lynda Martin
