French
To encourage your child multi- Cultural language we employ a qualified French Teacher to teach and learn your child French language. French lessons are fun and stimulating, held once a week.

Trips
At Poppits Nursery we place considerable emphasis on taking the children out and about in the local area, making use of the local facilities.
The children’s safety on these trips is of paramount importance and we will always make sure that our staff / child ratio considers this at all times. On an outing our staff / child ratio is high, normally one staff member to three children, depending on their age, sensibility and taking into consideration the type of venue.

Events
We have a number of events during the year such as: Sports day, graduation, parents evenings and Christmas play and party.

Diversity
We celebrate a number of festivals such as Chinese new year, Christmas, Easter, Diwali and Hanukkah.
