🚀 Leicester Space Centre Adventure

During the half-term holiday, 32 children and their families joined us for a fantastic day out at the Leicester Space Centre.

From exploring the wonders of space and trying out the rocket simulator to watching a spectacular show in Sir David Attenborough’s Planetarium, it was a day full of discovery and excitement. Despite the rainy weather, everyone had a truly out-of-this-world experience!

🎃 Halloween Fun!

What a night! Our Halloween Party was a huge success, with more than 50 little ghouls, ghosts, and corpse brides joining in the fun.

The evening was packed with spooky games — musical zombies, musical chairs, a colouring competition, and of course, our fancy dress contest!A massive congratulations to our top three costume winners, who each received Amazon prizes of £15, £10, and £5.Thank you to everyone who came along and made it such a spooktacular evening — we’re already looking forward to next year’s party!
