We have many fun activities planned, please spend some time to look at our planning board. If there are any songs you are unfamiliar with just ask one of the staff to sing it to you :)

We do need:
- Some cardboard boxes for a 'Row, Row, Row your boat' activity
-A photograph of the front of your house
- If your child has a favourite Nursery Rhyme please note it down on our 'child led ideas board' situated next to the door.
