The children are settling in really well and new routines are being established.

If you are concerned or have any questions please do come and ask a member of the Reception team. The best time to see someone is at the end of the school day once we have seen all the children out. We understand your child is still young. We will continue to nurture and care for each and everyone of them, because this is what we do best. Thank you for coming
