Crèche

The Crèche operates on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays mornings, during the "Open Sessions" at the Centre.

We are very lucky working in the Crèche; we have lovely babies to play with and lively young children to make us laugh! In return, we make sure that they have lots of colourful toys to create imaginary games with and paint and glue to amaze their parents with their talents. We aim to provide a cosy, stimulating environment for the children who, hopefully, respond we hope by feeling relaxed and free to join in and make new friends - and want to come again!

We had to say ‘goodbye’ to Jacqui in June, but we still see her at the centre, and we are happy to welcome Carol to our team. Carol has had lots of experience working with young children and brings fresh ideas and new activities to try.

Every day is special, but our Christmas celebrations were particularly exciting this year.  First of all we joined Friary Playschool’s Christmas production and we sang along with favourite songs including ‘Twinkle Twinkle Little Star’. Unfortunately, the little girl dressed as a star decided it was too much and hid behind a barrier – ahh! 

A crèche party was planned for 23rd December, so that the older children could come too. A magician had been booked and we waited anxiously for her arrival, hoping that she would captivate all the children with their varying age ranges. We needn’t have worried, as soon as she appeared – not in a ‘puff of smoke’, but through the door – we were reassured.  Thank you for entertaining us all with amazing tricks and funny stories. We even had disco dancing with flashing lights to finish. Delicious food was followed by the excitement of Father Christmas and a present. The verdict – a perfect party!

There are more fun times ahead: let’s look back on these days and smile!
