Romania Appeal

Recently the nursery were involved in the project Reaching Romania. The parents were asked if they wanted to help, they were given an empty shoe box covered in Christmas wrapping paper and given a list with many items on it, (some essential). The parents then filled them and returned them to the nursery, in total 64 boxes were filled for children/adults in Romania. We also enlisted the help of the crochet class held at Dove Workshop, 36 blankets were made, also scarfs hats and slippers.
