Also throught the year we plan a wide range of activities and topics including a Chinese Week, Colour Weeks, Halloween Week and a Christmas Month which is one of the highlights at Care Bears as we have a Spectacular Christmas Lights switch on each year.
We have a sand and water marquee and mud kitchen where children can learn and experience sensory play.
There is also a Greenhouse and allotment area for the children to learn about growing fruit and vegetables and then harvesting them and eating what they have grown.
We also serve a variety of homemade and cooked meals where we also use some of our home grown produce which provides children with a varied & healthy diet.
