First Steps Nursery and Tinywoods Preschool have been celebrating a term filled with kindness, connection and curiosity, highlighted by a successful charity appeal and a lively preschool open day. The term also marks almost one year since Tinywoods Preschool earned its Outstanding judgement from Ofsted in January, a milestone that continues to shape the high quality experiences offered to children and families.
Giving back through the Salvation Army Christmas Present Appeal
The nursery community came together in support of this year’s Salvation Army Christmas Present Appeal. Families and staff across the Trust contributed generously, helping to ensure that families facing hardship will have a brighter Christmas.
Each year, the appeal shares more than 68,000 Christmas gifts across the UK, bringing festive joy to children who might otherwise go without.
The nurseries expressed their sincere thanks to everyone who donated, recognising the meaningful impact these gist will have for many families in need.
A Warm Welcome at Tinywood Preschool Open Day
In October, Tinywoods Preschool opened its doors to families for an open day, offering a chance to meet the team, explore the nursery and gain a glimpse of daily life at the setting.
Children explored the Forest School area, enjoyed Halloween themed activities and many opportunities for new friendships. Families also took home a goody bag.
Looking Ahead
With the festive period approaching, the nurseries are preparing more enriching experiences for all children in its care. The team extends its thanks to families for their continued support and involvement throughout the year.
