Thank you so much to everyone who came along to support us on Saturday! We were completely overwhelmed with the number of people who came along. Special thank you to everyone who helped out and for all the wonderful feedback we received and messages of encouragement! Thank you too for the cards, prossecco and flowers, I'm truly touched!
I've received a number of messages from people who were disappointed that they couldn't make it along yesterday so in order to try to accommodate everyone we've decided to host another day on Saturday 22nd June between 10am and 2pm. Here's a few photos from yesterday!

We are hosting an Open Day on Saturday 1st June between 10am and 2pm.  
Please come along to meet the staff and see the facilities that we have in the Classroom.  There will be lots of fun activities for the children to take part in as well as information for the parents.  

Meet the newest editions to the Classroom; Rainbow, Unicorn and Hedgehog.  They're going to live with us until they're acclimatised to the outside.  They're looking forward to meeting everyone once we open.

As everyone starts winding down for Christmas I just wanted to give you all a quick update.  Although I still can't give an exact date for when we'll open, I am aiming for early into the New Year.  I understand that with the unexpected closure of the Breakfast Club many families are finding it difficult to find alternative arrangements.  I will do everything I can to open as quickly as possible.  We will be holding an Open Day for families to come and have a look at our premises and facilities and more information on that will follow in January.  I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. 

Work got started in the Classroom this morning.  A team of 6-8 builders were there bright and early ready to get going.  I popped in after school drop-off and they'd already done so much.  Not only do we have the builders in but we also have a team of guys fitting a new heating and air conditioning unit, which will be ideal for keeping the children warm and toasty in the Winter and nice and cool in the Summer! 

Things are moving along in the Classroom.  Building work and landscaping will be starting in the next week or two so you will soon see some progress being made.  Keep a look out for all the exciting changes.  

Yesterday was en exciting day for Our Little Outdoor Classroom as we officially made ourselves known to local people.  I've been overwhelmed with the support we've received and the positive words of encouragement, so I want to say a huge Thank You to everyone who has wished us well.  Please keep in touch for more updates and information. 

Welcome to our Classroom Reports page. Here we will 'show and tell' you what's been going on in the Classroom and in the wider area.  We will keep you up to date on the exciting activities that have been going on in the Classroom and any upcoming events and news from the local community.
