Below is Claudia Winkleman's first interview since her daughter was badly injured last Halloween while out trick or treating. I found this video very hard to watch but I also found it to be thought provoking- what would I have done to put out the fire? How would I have treated the subsequent injury? Here is a link to a few easy to remember steps on how to treat burns.

Thankfully these accidents are very rare but having an action plan ready in advance could prevent the injury from becoming more serious.

Autumn is a beautiful time of the year and the children at Longfield Academy have been learning all about it! They have been busy collecting fallen leaves in the garden and turning them into exciting art. Another thing that falls from the trees at this time of year is apples and it's a great time to try some new snack and recipe ideas with your little ones. Here are some ideas we hope you enjoy!

As a very special treat for our children we had a surprise visit from Uncle Mike's Pet Parties, the children were amazed by all the different animals that came to their crèche. The children and animals were so well behaved. they all got to hold and touch each of the different animals . We had snakes, lizards, centipede's, birds, turtle's and our most favourite of all a kangaroo!
