Looking for some fun and educational activities to do during lockdown? Look no further!

Poppins Nursery are providing fun and educational home learning activities for those unable to access childcare services at this time. Please visit their Facebook or Instagram pages for further information. Home learning booklets are also being produced by Hampshire County Council and are available here:  Issue 1 | Issue 2 | Easter Special 

We’ve been busy this month working with Winchester City Council and a team of volunteers from the Amber Project and Winchester Hub to transform the woodland beside the centre into a new children’s nature area! 

The nature area features new pathways, wooden sculptures and seating areas – ideal for woodland walks, open-air storytelling and bush craft!

Keep an eye out here for the official opening date – we can’t wait to show you our latest community project!

A massive thanks to Mike and Livvy from ElectroClean whom have been offering FREE deep cleans to nurseries and schools in our local area. We appreciate you coming to deep clean The Carroll Centre, Poppins and Qube Soft Play, to help keep us all safe.

Pete came back again with a new mountain riding challenge to help us fundraise…

In April he rode 565 Km/350 mile in 10 Day in a Trans Morocco cycle ride. He will be rode across the high Atlas Mountains from North to South, crossing high mountain passes (2800), dessert sand dunes, gorges and the volcanic Saghro Mountains. The ride involved a total altitude gain: 7.100Mtr/23,300 feet.

Pete raised – £900+ that will be used to support our Youth Engagement Teams early intervention and support work with young people experiencing Mental Health issues such as: anxiety attacks, depression, anger management, self-harming, bullying, peer pressure, substance misuse, relationship breakdowns, and bereavement.

A HUGE thanks to Pete

On the 24th March 2019 Eloisa Broadbent, our Nursery Manager, will be participating in the Hendy Eastleigh 10K run. After recovering from her recent operations Eloisa wants to inspire that anything is possible if you set your mind to it. Keeping active is very important to Eloisa and doing this event will show that excuses are not an option.

To mark the 5th anniversary of Poppins Nursery a refurbishment of the outdoor play area will enhance the children’s experiences whilst promoting physical development. The fundraising from the Eastleigh 10K run will contribute to develop this project.

As part of this the Nursery hosted a 10K Coffee Morningand Cake Sale  today to promote the race and raise additional funds. People’s generosity and love of cake brought in an additional £60 to add to the rising fundraising total!
