This week was very exciting indeed with our Christmas Concert. The children looked amazing as you can see, dressed either as reindeers, swans, snowmen, dogs and Santas - all characters from the Stick Man story. Before the concert Damon and Scarlett cuddled and Scarlett said "I'm Santa and you're snowman ! We're best friends." As the adults came into teh room Sami waved shouting "mummy mummy! I'm here!" and Xanthe ran over to give a cuddle to her family then excitedly ran back over to join her friends saying "I'm back! I'm back." They sang beautifully and there was a fantastic turnout from parents, relatives and carers whom all joined in with the singing, which was lovely. Afterwards everyone was able to go outside under the pergola and have some hot and cold drinks , and some snacks and treats, despite the pouring rain!

Thank you to everyone who came to support the children, and the hard work of the staff and efforts from the children. we are looking forward to the Christmas dinners and parties next week!

This week the babies have explored cosy dens. The sleep room was turned into a cosy corner with bean bags and pillows to sit on with hideaway sheet covering the doorway to make it the perfect den. Jasper and Owen explored the cosy den snuggling on the bean bags and exploring some sensory light tubes. Jasper was amazed at the colours changing opening his mouth in shock when it closed and turning it into a smile whilst Owen laughed as he gently shook the tubes. Abigail and jasper explored the foam, jasper was eager to bury his way to the bottom to find some oats where as Abigail played high five with the foam. Lyra, Oliver and Owen explored the baby gym, blankets were laid over the top to make a secret passage way to the slide intriguing the babies more. Oliver crawled up the stairs and slide his was down the slide before Lyra followed and had a go steering the wheel before drawing down the slide. The babies have also played with the floaty materials and bubbles playing peek a boo with the materials making all the children laugh before popping bubbles together as they make friendships.
