“After 4 1/2 years at Nursery I want to thank everyone for their part in caring and looking after Ethan. This is an end of an era and I know he will miss everyone, we also can't forget Donna - He will really miss your food, especially your homemade Pizza” Mr M Thomas
“Thank you so much for being such a great nursery and for all your help and support over the years, We are going to miss you all lots.” Ms S Bentley
“Thank you so much for all your care and attention you've given to Pip during his 4 years with you. He is now entering school very confident (it has been commented on by the deputy head!) and a large part of this is due to all of you. He is a very happy little boy and has loved his time at nursery. Thank you from the bottom of both of our hearts” Mr and Mrs Munden
"It still seems like yesterday that we were sitting in the staff room with Clare, looking out over the nursery and wondering whether this was the right place to leave our then very small boy. Six years later, we know for sure that it was. As we say goodbye, we feel both sad at leaving behind a place and people who have been such a big part of our lives for so long, and glad that Hal and Sky have had such a happy time here. It really has been a home from home and we can't thank you all enough for everything you have done. You will always hold a very special place in our hearts" Ms Chapman and Mr J Millar
