Welcome back children 👶 were so happy 😃 to see you all …..

We have had a busy few weeks settling all the new children in to Nursery.

This week we all went to explore our Amazing 🤩 new Library 📚……

Reading books 📚 aloud To your child 👶 stimulates their imagination and expands their understanding of the big new world around them🌍. It also helps them develop fundamental speaking and listening 👂 Skills and prepares them to understand the written world. Most of all have fun Reading 📖…..

We found a secret door 🚪🤫
