Today marked the grand opening of our new Snug – a calm and welcoming space for children to enjoy at lunchtime.
The Snug provides a quieter environment where children can relax, take some time out from the hustle and bustle of the playground, enjoy mindful activities and recharge before heading back to learning.
We are so proud to be expanding the ways we support our children’s wellbeing and ensuring there is a space for everyone at lunchtime. 💙
