Our World Class Library
We are so proud of our library space that we have access to. Inspired by the Harry Potter books, and the descriptions of the Hogwarts library within, our library is like a portal to a new world. Stocked with books provided by the ELS, children always have a relaxing and exciting environment to enjoy their reading. We host Reading Cafes, have lessons and enjoy lunchtimes in the library; so it is used nearly all day long.
We Love Our New Nursery
It’s amazing what removing a wall and adding a lick of paint can do to a Nursery. We are thrilled with the work that has been done to improve our learning environment for the children. They are having lots of fun playing in it and we are already seeing a difference in the way the children are using the workshop areas, learning and looking after things. They also love their outdoor shelter and their new sandpit and mud kitchen.
What the children say...
RJ- Age 3- “It’s big!”
Azelia- Age 3 "I feel happy."
Heidi Age 3- I like the carpet. I like sitting on the butterfly”
River Age 3- “Roll on my new rug!”

Miss Archer- "It's brighter, more soacious and a nicer place to work with the children."
Miss Morrell-"We have more areas for the children to learn in and they are using them more than before.
