Welcome to Nursery Room: Seahorses
We offer a very warm welcome to our new children who will be starting with us this term. And also say 'Welcome back' to our existing children - we've missed you!
Below are a few photos of the Seahorse Room because we know how hard it is for parents to leave their children at the door.

Can you find some of the numbers around your home? Look on clocks, barcodes, coins, remote controls, books etc and see if you
can pick some out.
If you are able to go outside, look on doors, buses, car number plates etc and see just how many numbers are all around us!
