School Closure Update – 28th February
We have taken the decision to close the Nursery today due to the weather conditions. The road leading to nursery is extremely dangerous, as are the footpaths into nursery. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause, however feel that this is the correct decision to ensure safety of children, parents and staff.
Please continue to check for updates on the website and Facebook.
Thank you

Light Project Exhibition at the Gala Theatre
Our Nursery was asked by Durham County Council, to take part in a project alongside other nurseries in East Durham. A group of children from Nursery attended 3 sessions at Easington Barn, to explore light within the natural environment, alongside artist Nicola Balfour.
The work and documentation from the Barn sessions is being used to form part of an art exhibition, including a film which has been made of the project. This will be on display at the Gala Theatre in Durham in their gallery space.
Families and children who took part in the project have been invited to attend the opening of the exhibition on Thursday 11th January at 5.30pm, where they will be able to see a preview of the film and look at the work and photographs of the children.
The exhibition will be open to the public on Friday 12th January for 4 weeks. We are extremely proud of the children’s work and that we have been asked to be part of such an exciting project. We would like to encourage all of our families to go in and have a look if they are near the Gala Theatre.

A tearful goodbye to Amy
On the last day of the autumn term we said goodbye to Amy, one of our nursery practitioners. Amy has worked with us for over 11 years and has impacted on many children’s lives across that time.
We would like to wish her lots of luck for the future and hope she comes back to visit us soon.
Christmas Sing Along
Thank you to all of our parents and families who attended out Christmas sing along on Wednesday 20th December. It really was a sell out!
Our children sang beautifully and entertained us, dressing up and joining in with all of the actions. A special well done goes to our youngest 2 year old children.
Christmas Parties
We all had a fantastic time at our christmas party on Tuesday 19th December. It was lovely to see the children in their party clothes, enjoying a party tea and playing games.
Santa visited and gave us all a special present!
Elfis and Elfsie Visit Nursery
Across December we have had some special visitors from the North Pole. Elfis and Elfsie arrived in nursery along with a special letter. The letter explained that they would visit each day and hide in a different place each time.
The children and their parents had great fun trying to find them together at the beginning of each nursery session. It was difficult to know who was more excited!
On our final nursery day we came to in to find that there had been a special visitor during the night. He looked like he had lots of fun along with his elf helpers.
Visit to see Mrs Claus’ Kitchen
On Thursday 14th December our 3 and 4 year old children visited the Gala Theatre in Durham. We had a fantastic time watching Mrs Claus and Widget save Christmas and it even snowed inside!
After the show we went for a meal together and had time to play in the play area. We had such a fantastic day!
2 Year Old’s Visit to Tweddle Farm
Our two year old children and their parents visited Tweddle Farm on Thursday 14th December. Along with feeding the animals and playing in the play barn, they had a visit to see a very special man!
