Pyjama Day Fundraising

Thank you to all the children and staff who dressed up in their warmest pyjamas for our Pyjama Fun Day for the Children's Brain Injury Centre/Momentum on Wednesday 8th February.  We raised a grand total of £92.00 which has been sent to the Charity to help them continue with the fantastic work they do.  Thank you for all your contributions.

Shoes Fit for Royalty!

We had a packed day on Thursday 9th February and the following Friday morning, as alongside our normal activities we had a visit from Padders for Kids. Their new children's shoe outlet has opened on Kettering Venture Park and they enlisted our help in sizing their vast array of stock on our children's feet! Brands including Lelli Kelly, Kickers, Hush Puppies, Ricosta, Camper, Ecco and Miss Sixty were paraded through the nursery and just a warning to some of our parents - i think a few of the children are awaiting their visit to the actual outlet as a few styles may have caught their eyes. You are definitely never too young to appreciate a good pair of shoes!

We never miss an opportunity and what a good excuse for a spot of foot printing - the children thoroughly enjoyed themselves.



We wish Padders for Kids the best of luck with their new enterprise.

Abbeyfield Singalong

Well done to all our children who visited Abbeyfield last Tuesday afternoon to sing to the elderly residents. They thoroughly enjoyed the children visiting and singing some of the songs they learn in their music sessions. Another trip is planned for a few months time so we will be able to try out some of our new songs on the residents. Well done everyone!

Hello, Hello, Hello...

As part of our 'My World' topic, one of our parents, PC Paul Bertram, visited the nursery in his police car.  The children were able to sit behind the wheel of the police car, lights flashing and sirens blaring!  Adele, who works in forensics, also visited and the children had great fun having their foot and fingerprints taken.  As a sign of our appreciation, what better than some 'Heroes' chocolates for the people who help us.  Thank you!

Err, have you got this in a smaller size please?

OAP Christmas Dinner Singalong 4th & 5th January

The Wednesday afternoon children and staff had a lovely afternoon entertaining members of the local community at their annual Christmas dinner. They sang songs from their Christmas concert 'Humph the Grumpy Camel' amongst others. The children sang with gusto - it was great to extend their Christmas festivities for longer! We will be visiting again tomorrow afternoon so watch this space for more photos...
