New Team!

Hello Everyone,

 

We hope you have had a lovely summer and we look forward to welcoming you back, along with some new families, when our term starts on Friday 1st September.

 

Please see above the updated staff photo for the new term. We are very happy to welcome Jodie back from maternity leave she will be working 3 days a week.

 

Thanks,

The Grove Team

 

Goodbye Jo!

We sadly said goodbye to Jo at the end of the Summer Term after a long time at The Grove. We wish her well for the future and hope she pops in and says hello from time to time. Thank you to everyone who contributed to Jo’s leaving gift – she was very thankful. 

 

Spring is here!

We hope everyone had a lovely Easter. We are pleased that there has been some lovely sunshine and are making of the most of water play outside.
