LITTLE LANCING
Little Lancing As we draw near to the end of our third year of Little Lancing, there’s much to report! In April, our co-partnership arrangement with Tops Day Nurseries came to its planned end and Little Lancing is now reregistered with Ofsted. We have become very well established and places are highly sought after in our local community, with the nursery becoming ever busier and waiting lists being created for future starters. We continue to add high quality staff to our nursery team and are delighted that our first apprentices are nearing the end of their studies and will soon be fully fledged Level 3 practitioners with us.

SUMMER 2022
We have celebrated the formal opening of our Forest School learning space by Dr Sally Godward, the Lancing College Governor who is now registered with Ofsted on behalf of Buxbrass Limited, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the College. It was a lovely occasion and well supported by our families who also took the opportunity to view their child’s room after so many months where we have not been able to welcome them into the nursery building. It also coincided with some of our celebrations to mark the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee in early June.
The children simply love their outdoor sessions in Forest School and our second phase of training starts over this summer. The nursery garden has undergone some improvements, with more plans ahead to enhance the children’s learning. We have begun the process to gain a Curiosity Approach accreditation for Little Lancing, which will come on stream as we move into our fourth year of operation.
