EXCITING NEWS!!
We are delighted to announce that our application for a grant with respect to our outdoor Area has been approved by Harpenden Trust. A big thank you to Harpenden Trust! We have planted laurels in front of the outdoor fenced area overlooking the road. A box hedge will be planted as soon as possible in order to provide some additional screening and to soften the outlook from the entrance of Kinsbourne Green.
Nursery has recently gained approval to place their own plant bed on The Common so that the children can learn about growing vegetables and flowers! We will also be replacing the existing outdoor grassed area with Astro Turf so that it can be used all year round. Harpenden Trust has also agreed to fund this so another huge thank you to Harpenden Trust!
The Astro Turf has arrived!
A very thoughtful gift from one of our grateful parents! Thank you!!
