Pre-school Disco will return after Easter. The
children love taking part in all these activities
which offer them the chance to experience
extra-curricular activities during the Pre-school
day at a very reasonable cost.
We are expecting to be at full capacity by
Easter which is great! We have welcomed
several new children, who have settled very
well and look forward to welcoming more
throughout the term as the Covid risk will
hopefully lessen.
We (the staff) were given the opportunity to
attend the Covid testing service provided by Sir
William Ramsay School for a few weeks. This
has now stopped due to their students all
returning. This means that until we are provided
with our own home test kits, we will have to
attend the testing centre in High Wycombe.
We are looking forward to better weather and
resuming our Forest School sessions after
Easter. For all enquiries, please contact Nicky

Little Oaks Nurseries
Re-opening on 5th January as we did means that
our nursery children have been in great hands all
term, in many cases allowing for smoother
home-schooling of older children as well as the

direct benefits to them of being at nursery. We
celebrate their resilience, burgeoning
independence and adaptability daily! I would
also like to applaud the amazing Little Oaks
team who have been putting themselves at
heightened risk daily, without PPE, so that the
littlest ones in our care can continue to
experience wonderful challenges and exciting
experiences. What a dedicated workforce.
World Book Day was created by UNESCO in
1995 and the first UK event took place in 1997.
The intention from the start was to ‘change lives
through a love of books and shared reading’.
Our nursery children are fortunate to be exposed
to books and stories daily, and came up with
their own special favourites for this year’s
World Book Day on March 4th. Some of the
most popular children’s authors from the past
three centuries were represented, including Julia
Donaldson, Janet & Allan Ahlberg, Beatrix
Potter and Eric Carle. Traditional tales took their
place too! Here we present:
• Goodnight Spaceman by Michelle Robinson
& Nick East
• Ella Bella Ballerina by James Mayew
• The Highway Rat by Julia Donaldson
• Little Red Riding Hood re-told by Ian Beck
To finish, a quote that reflects lockdown to a
tee: “Reading gives us somewhere to go when
we have to stay where we are.”
