Another wonderful day was had by all of our youngest Key Worker Children today. We explored our forest, played hide and seek, searched for a fox, loved playing under the blossom trees and used recycling to design, build and paint models. #DeanClosePrePrep #ThankYouKeyWorkers

Nursery had a wonderful visit to Dinky Street as part of their 'People who help us' topic! They loved the role play opportunities, becoming vets, doctors, fire fighters, police and shop assistants to name just a few! #DeanClosePrePrep #DeanCloseNursery #DeanCloseLearningJourney
