The best part about the rain this week? It helped our fruit and vegetables grow! Look at these lovely peas, onions, and broccoli!

“Every seed planted today grows more than fruit and vegetables—it grows curiosity, patience, and a lifelong love of learning.” 🌱🫛🧅🥦🌧️

A huge thank you to Darren Rice for our new sand and water table! The children absolutely loved helping to put it together and couldn't wait to start using with it.

Your kindness and support are very much appreciated, as always. Thank you from all of us at Rabbit Hill! 😊

Good morning,

Thank you to everyone who has completed and returned a Holiday Club booking form for the summer.

We are now fully booked, with the exception of a few morning spaces (8:00am–12:00pm) available during the first two weeks.

I will aim to return your forms, confirming the dates available to you, by the end of this week.

Thank you again to everyone for your continued support — it is very much appreciated.

Good morning,

Summer Holiday Club booking forms will be available from 8:00am on Monday 1st June. Forms can be collected from Childcare or sent by email upon request.

As you know, we become extremely busy during the summer holidays and spaces are limited, so please return your completed booking forms as soon as possible.

Some parents have already sent over their preferred dates; however, please note that preferences do not constitute a booking and do not reserve a space. Bookings will only be confirmed once a completed booking form has been received.

Places are allocated on a first come, first served basis, although we will do our very best to accommodate everyone where possible.

Please also note that we have made the decision to close during the final week of the summer holidays. Therefore, Holiday Club will only run until Friday 21st August.

Thank you for your continued support.

Half term already! ☀️

Before we head into a lovely sunny Whitsun break, we wanted to share some of our favourite moments from childcare this week. The children have loved exploring, creating, and enjoying lots of fun together both indoors and outside.

A big thank you to Friends of Rabbit Hill for the eggs — the children were so excited! 🐣

We hope you all have a wonderful eek off in the sunshine, and we look forward to seeing everyone back on 1st June! 💛
