Welcome to all of our new starters
We wish you all a big warm welcome and hope your child enjoys the start of their education with us. If you have any concerns please speak to a member of staff.
Christmas activities
We wanted to write to you to express our thanks to everyone who purchased raffle tickets. We are extremely grateful that you helped us to raise a fantastic grand total of £729. The money raised will be directly used towards purchasing equipment and enhancing our outdoor learning area.
We’ve worked really hard over the last few months to boost our fundraising, including organising our own visit Santa on the Farm event, bringing our total Christmas fundraising to £2,104.
We would like to thank the following companies for their raffle prize donation:
NA&C Consultants, Alfreton Golf Club, Denby Pottery, Matlock Farm Park, Gulliver’s Kingdom, Scuba diving club, Great British Car Journey, Gym Fit, Daniella Ainsworth, JB Transport, CMC, Treetops, Outkast, Salt pot, CO-OP, Tesco, Tansley Garden Centre and Owen Taylor.
We would also like to thank Amber Valley Rotary, Amanda and Gary at the Steampacket and Valley CIDS for their support in running our Christmas events.
We’re now looking forward to organising more fundraising events in 2023 and to purchasing new outdoor equipment for our children to enjoy and to support their learning and development.
We would also like to say a big thank you to Swanwick Church for allowing to hold our Christmas play in church. It was wonderful to see all the children dressed up and singing. We really appreciate the hard work parents put in to get the costumes ready.
