Some fantastic days out here in Staffordshire!

30 Family Days Out in Staffordshire for Under £30 Let’s face it there’s no getting away from the rising cost of living and keeping the kids entertained during the Summer 2024 school holidays could well be a challenge for many UK…

Huge well done to our settings at St Joseph's and Gorsemoor who both received fantastic ofsted reports following their recent inspections.

The staff work so hard to ensure our children receive the best care & education and to have that formally recognised by Ofsted is excellent. You can follow the links on our website to view the reports in full.

Employee of the Spring Term is...

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Darlene!!!

For taking an idea and taking on full responsibility for the implementation, ex*****on and ongoing improvements. As well as been an invaluable support to Kerry, ensuring areas are fully set up before each session, school runs are updated and staff are given direction to ensure the smooth running of each session.

Well done Darlene and thank you for doing such a great job!

Parents and carers,

To reward our hard working team we have introduced Employee of the Term, it has been a very difficult decision as the whole team are deserving of it in so many ways but a decision (or two) had to be made.

We would love for you all to help us in congratulating Jess and Beth at our St. Joseph’s setting who are this terms winners in recognition of their dedication and hard work in creating a lovely and nurturing environment for our children and their unlimited passion for Farlea x

We are so proud of our team at St Anne's for receiving such an outstanding Ofsted report. (NOTE; ofsted no longer use the wording good and outstanding to grade, it is a simple met or not met now).

The team work so hard to ensure that each child and their family have the best experience at Farlea and you can see the results of this in the report.

Thank you to all the St Anne's parents and carers who took the time to come in and speak with the officer, your positive comments and the teams hard work are evident in the actual report that is attached to this post. Please take a look and if you have any comments for questions please get in touch with us.

Well done ! 👏

Annie and Natalie 🙂

Do you use a self-feeding pillow? Or perhaps you know someone who does?

Please STOP.

These self-feeding pillows can kill small babies. The baby can’t push the bottle away, so can choke on the milk or suffer aspiration pneumonia.

Please stop using these products immediately and warn your friends about the risks.

Our children love the mud kitchens and outdoors at Farlea, nothing better than muddy puddles!

The funding levels for preschool children is pitiful. Please have a read and sign this petition to help us fight for an increase. 4,000 nurseries have closed this year, due to running costs, please help us address this with the Government.

The farlea team 😊

Petition: Increase funding for early years settings We believe Government funding for early years settings is too low, and making it difficult to keep these settings open. This will only be more difficult with the increase in minimum wage. Everyone wants childcare standards high, but we believe more funding is needed to achieve this.

The children at Farlea @ St Annes had a fantastic start to Friday, when Pudsey Bear came for breakfast!

No association with swimwell, but we thought we would share these FREE SWIMMING LESSONS for next week.

Good afternoon to our families & followers,

We are now taking bookings for our January intake of 2 & 3 year olds at our nurseries. We would be so grateful if you could help us spread the word to the local community by sharing this post!

If you are unsure about booking or eligibility give us a call and we can go through the process with you.

The Farlea Team 🙂
