Free morning for families considering nursery or reception to play, do a craft session, meet the nursery and admissions teams and try the school's shortbread.
Little Knellies Nursery is opening its doors for a Stay & Play morning at Knell House, The Abbey Junior School on Friday 13 November, starting at 09:30. It's run for families who are thinking about Nursery or Reception, so if you've got a little one approaching that age, it's a good way to see the place in action rather than just reading a prospectus.
Each session has its own theme, and the nursery opens up so visiting families can play with the toys, take part in a craft session and head out into the large outdoor garden. It's a morning of playtime and making things, with the kids getting stuck in while you get a feel for the environment they'd be spending their days in.
It's not just about the play, though. You'll meet the Nursery team and can try the school's famous Abbey shortbread, and the Admissions team will be on hand to answer any questions you have about the process. It's a chance to get a sense of the staff and the atmosphere, and to ask the practical things that usually only come up once you're actually standing in the room.
