As 2023 draws to a close, we wanted to thank you all for your support this year. And what a year it’s been! From planting a time capsule filled with photos, cards, and mementos from our children and staff to celebrate 30 years of The Elms, to retaining our five-star Environmental Health Food Hygiene rating, there’s been plenty to celebrate.

We hope your little one has enjoyed their time at nursery as much as we have and is looking forward to more child-led learning and fun in 2024. Until then, we wish you and your family a very merry Christmas and the happiest of New Years.
