Excitement reached new heights in the afternoon when the children received a very special visitor: Father Christmas himself, accompanied by his trusty elf helper, Abi. The children were delighted to meet Santa, share their Christmas wishes and receive a present to take home — wide eyes and big smiles all around!

The festive fun continued throughout the afternoon, with children dressed in their Christmas jumpers and party best. Toddlers and Pre-School enjoyed classic party games, including pass the parcel and musical chairs, filling the rooms with laughter and lively competition.

No celebration would be complete without party tea, and the children enjoyed a special festive feast of sandwiches, pizza, sausage rolls, Pom-Bears, fruit and — as a one-off seasonal treat — a slice of cake for some.

It was a wonderfully joyful afternoon, bringing together everything we love about the Christmas season: fun, friendship and a touch of magic for our very youngest learners.
