Achievements and performance
the brilliant children for helping us grow into who we are today.
From the September start of 26 children we increased in numbers
to 33 in the Summer tem. At the start of 2025 we managed
seventeen 34 year olds and fifteen 2 year olds. Adapting and
accommodating the mix within our small space was achieved
successfully through careful thought and fine tuning to our daily
routine.
Relaxing Time our new progressive strategy was introduced
during the last year and has proved successful in helping our
children to process their morning learning and enable them to enjoy
productive afternoon. Staff child interaction is the key to providing
the best possible start to our children's learning experience and can
seen during all our sessions.
Staff have meaningful conversations with children and facilitate their
knowledge and help them to move to meeting their full potential
through this and our safe and motivating environment.
Our year was again action packed throughout. After getting to know all our
children we have enjoyed exploring the environment here at Happy Hands
our local community. Enjoying all the seasons outside with "the best
lassr¢)om and richest cupboard is roofed by the sky. Margaret Mcmillian.
