Learning Journals and special books have grown in popularity over the last decade, offering early years settings a way to record the special moments of their children, and to keep parents involved in a partnership as their children blossom and grow.

Chickens are the favourites among the children, we first incubated hens way back in 2008. We plan to erect a new walk-in-run to house the hens safely at weekends, early mornings and late afternoons. In our new location, we are visited by Mr Fox, so we have taken the steps to introduce a more secure home for them.
Saplings is a fully inclusive setting able to meet the needs of children with special educational needs and disabilities.
