CP NEWS – DECEMBER EDITION

Winter wonderland

We would like to thank all of our families who came along to support our very first Winter Wonderland experience. A HUGE 147 family members joined us across 3 sessions, making it one of the most magical and well attended experiences we have ever had here in centre.

We had so much fun we’re already thinking about next year!!

 

Christmas/New Year attendance

Our last day in centre will be 22nd of December 2023 and we will be returning on Wednesday 3rd of January 2024.

If you are planning on keeping you little one off until the schools return on the 8th please drop us a quick email or leave us a voicemail to prevent a welfare call being made.

Family sessions

We will be looking to continue both our interactive family and bookbug sessions in the New Year. If their are any areas you feel you would like us to cover please email us your suggestions and we will look at tailoring sessions to meet our families need.

Support during the Festive Period

Christmas for many is about spending time with family and enjoying some much needed downtime, although for some Christmas time is a very different story, it can be filled with sadness, stresses and a time of misery and loneliness.

We ask that all of you please take a moment to check in on one another.

A quick text or a smile at someone as you pass them on the street can make all the difference.

If you find yourself in need of a little support over this time please reach out.
