The Nursery Manager writes…

Hello, and welcome to our final blog update of the year. Earlier this week the children had a surprise visit from Father Christmas at their Christmas party, which was followed by party games for Squirrels and Owls children, and then a roast dinner with all the trimmings. Meanwhile, Bunnies enjoyed a Christmas picnic, which went down very well. So, that’s it for 2024. Thank you for being part of our nursery community. On behalf of all the staff, I wish you a very happy Christmas, and we look forward to seeing you again in the new year.

Sarah Bower
Nursery Manager

At Highwood we will do our utmost to keep you informed about any weather related issues through Famly. Importantly, please ensure you keep your contact details up-to-date, letting us know straight away about any changes.
