Our team is constantly reflecting and evolving, our ‘We are practitioners’ board now sits above a ‘We are collaborators’ board. We have also up-cycled some old cupboard fronts that now feature the four principles of EYFS and how our culture and ethos has evolved.

@BexH15 @CreativeSTAR Sad news 😢 an incredible lady

Devastated to hear of the loss of @CreativeSTAR Juliet. My approach to outdoor learning owes much to Juliet’s mission to bring play to every child. #EarlyYears #Play #Education
