Partnership with the local community
-
Being situated on the first floor of OneStonegrove community centre, our nursery benefits from numerous partnerships with the local community – joint gardening activities, shared charity events and Open Day events.
Our preschool children are involved in a project called "Bridge across generations" which involves the children regularly visiting Knights Court Care Home in Edgware to spend time and do activities with the residents.
We do charity events in support of the Centre`s Food Bank - we raised £300 in our most recent one.
