Preschool pet ferrets Sushi & Sweep belonging to Preschools Manager pay us plenty of visits. Children can help clean out, feed and water the boys. Even the least confident of children soon come round to stroke and cuddle the boys. The children love visits from pets big and small!

Here at Sandcastles we like to use our local area as much as possible to be an enabling environment to the children's learning and development. As well as Beach School, walks round our local conservation area; using the local paddling pool for example to float boats the children have built; looking at the beach and surrounding area through the camera lens and taking their own photographs; walks to the local shops to get snack items the children then take back, prepare then enjoy eating are amongst the various activities the children take part in.

At the end of the summer term Preschoolers enjoy an end of term party both on & off site, our Preschoolers going off to school celebrate with a graduation & party held in the evening. Parents love this event and can sometimes find it a very emotional evening.
