October 2026

A busy term 1 with our new and old families starting back. It’s been great catching up with everyone and hearing about the children’s summer adventures! The children have enjoyed coming back, building new friendships, and seamlessly falling into preschool life.

We have also had some amazing feedback from our leaving families saying how wonderfully well their children have transitioned into primary school life. Showing great independence through the whole experience, something we promote strongly within the setting. It is important to us to help the children develop skills they can take away with them to use as they progress further into their journeys.

The children have been getting to know each other using our family board pointing out family, friends and pets, building great communications and social skills. Through this we have extended the children’s learning by making family trees/pictures using natural resources to talk about people that are special to them.

We are looking forward to exploring autumn with the children and to see what natural treasures we can find around us as the season turns.
