Look at my brilliant Bonnet, It’s a little garden scene, There’s ladybirds and butterflies, And lots of grass that’s green. There’s chicks of different colours,... And the most amazing thing...... Right there on the very top Is a chick taking a swing.
Sorry you’re not at Pre School Luke, but a big thank you to Mummy for bringing your Bonnet in ready for our competition. It’s beautiful x

Look at my ‘outback bonnet’, It took me quite a while, First I shredded paper,Till I’d gathered quite a pile. I stuck on chirpy chickies, And eggs with sticky glue, I painted all my bunnies,In yellow, green and blue. I even painted all my eggs, There’s orange ones and red,... And then I made it wobble, When I put it on my head.
Aww Jayden, that is just wonderful. I loved the little video you sent me showing how all your little eggs wobbled- it made me laugh. Well done xx

I’ve been busy with the scissors Cutting paper grass that’s green. It really is the longest grass that you have ever seen And if you look quite carefully You’ll see creatures hiding too,... There’s squirrel and a fluffy chick And a bunny wearing blue. I love my Easter Bonnet, Making it was really cool, And now I’m going to wear it in the garden at Pre School.
Well done Isla- this is a great Easter Bonnet.

I would like to say a big thank you to all at Stepping Stones for today, my granddaughter's super hero day. but not just today but for every day she has spent with all of you. You have encouraged her and motivated her to be the best she could be. I have throughly enjoyed seeing all the weekly activities, which I know you have put a lot of time and planning into. I then have been able to talk to her about what she will be doing at Stepping Stones. Your input has been so invaluable into her early years. Have a lovely summer break.

Best move I made moving my daughter to stepping stones from a different nursery she loves it

User

An absolutely fantastic nursery, my son Oliver had been attending since January 2015 and he loves it! The staff are fab with him. Oliver has severe eczema and some allergies- the staff meet his every need and care for him as I do. Since starting nursery Oliver's speech has improved greatly. On the days that Oliver is at nursery, he kisses me bye bye and toddles off-no fuss. Can't recommend this nursery enough, and ollie will be attending for as long as possible. My youngest Oscar will also be going when he's old enough :-) :-)
