Beginning to Grow at Kidston Kids!


Lots of things are beginning to Grow at Kidston Kids.


With thanks to the Ernest Cook Trust, the children have been busy planting tubs and seeds.


With lots of watering, and a little sunshine, we were very excited to see our sunfl owers and nasturtiums starting to grow!


Meanwhile, our very own little Sunfl owers have also blossomed over the past few months. The children have not only grown in height, but in confi dence too and are very happy to keep Fiona and Gail on their toes!


Our new website is up and running thanks to William’s Daddy and Mummy.

To celebrate the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee we made crowns, bunting and made Jubilee fairy cakes for our tea party.

The coach taught us basic tennis skills through fun activities which the children loved.
