The deadline for families to apply for the Best Start Grant School Age Payment is 28
February 2023. This one-off £267.65 payment is currently open to eligible families with a child born between 1 March 2017 and 28 February 2018.

Parents and carers – including those who have deferred their child’s entry to school
from August 2022 to August 2023 – must still apply before the closing date or they will miss their opportunity to access the School Age Payment.

Further information can be found here.

We would like to invite parents and families as well as prospective parents and families to our Open Day in nursery on Wednesday 25 January 2023 between 1pm and 3pm. Our children are looking forward to showing their families around nursery and letting them see some of the things they like to do here.

We are delighted that Sharon, our Speech and Language link therapist, Lisa, our Childsmile representative and also a team from Parent and Family support will be joining us and will be available to answer questions or provide information. Our staff team will also be available and happy to answer any questions.

We will also be delighted to welcome any prospective families along to see our setting and to meet our staff team and some of our children. Please note that the deadline for applications for Session 2023/2024 is Feb 28th 2023. Applications can be submitted via email (see Apply for 2023/2024) but we will have some paper copies available if required.

We found lots of adjectives to describe the mud in the woods today, all beginning with “s”. Our children came up with squishy, soft, squashy, slippy, slimey, squidgy, sticky, stinky and sluggy! Can you think of any others?
