We have another charity that is very close to our hearts and that is 'make a wish children's charity'. We had a little boy who attended the nursery and he very sadly passed away a few years ago. Each year, as this was his mother's request, we have a 'Rainbow Day' wearing bright colours in memory of little Lennon and all money raised goes to 'make a wish'. Our Rainbow Day this year is Friday 4th October. Please feel free to join us on this special day by wearing anything bright and colourful and all we ask is a small donation. Thank you.
