Little Oaks<br />
Little Oaks One on tour! Due to a local council<br />
election on 16th November we could not open<br />
nursery as usual, but we were fortunate enough<br />
to be hosted by the friendly folk at Hazlemere<br />
Youth Centre on Rose Avenue. Our little ones,<br />
all aged 2-3, enjoyed a morning of Playball<br />
games followed by music, stories, lunch and<br />
Pudsey face painting (from our very own Amy<br />
Pass with her ‘A Touch of Sparkle’ hat on). A<br />
great time was had by all and by all accounts<br />
sleep was not hard to come by that night!<br />
This is a great opportunity to spotlight The<br />
Avenue Café which is attached to the<br />
Hazlemere Youth Centre. Great coffee along<br />
with breakfast and lunch menus are offered by<br />

Holly and Toni, along with yummy cakes and<br />
other treats. Do visit soon and make a particular<br />
note to go along on 12th December between<br />
9am – 6pm for their Christmas special: they’ll<br />
be offering a Christmas menu, arts and crafts,<br />
carol singing and there’s a rumour that Santa<br />
may even pop in!<br />

Amazing autumn weather has meant that<br />
Forest School children have enjoyed dappled<br />
sunshine in the woods this term, with scrunchy<br />
rather than soggy leaves, and much excitement<br />
around tree climbing and the building of bug<br />
houses. In today’s risk-averse climate we take<br />
seriously our responsibility to teach children<br />
how to manage their own risks through play;<br />
resilient, confident children (and eventually<br />
adults) are the natural result of such<br />
opportunities at an early age.<br />
As December approaches we are in the throes<br />
of Nativity preparations at Little Oaks. If you<br />
pass by any of our nurseries in Tylers Green,<br />
Penn or Forty Green and you may well hear<br />
snatches of seasonal singing. At Little Oaks<br />
Beaconsfield in Forty Green we will present our<br />
Christmas production on 13th December, then<br />
at Little Oaks One on 14th and finally our Little<br />
Oaks Two children will tell the Christmas story<br />
in their own special way at St Margaret’s<br />
Church on Friday 15th. Look out for photos in<br />
the February issue of <strong>VV</strong>! Ruthie Pocock, www.<br />
