🏥 This week we celebrated National Nurses Day.

We explored the role of nurses & how important they are.

Children took part in a variety of activities including role play and creating rainbow pictures to celebrate the NHS. 🌈 👩‍⚕️

Testimonials from our Parents and Teachers

  • Mrs V Unsworth – Headteacher

    Kickstart go above and beyond for our children.  They are key professionals who are focused on improving outcomes for our children. I highly recommend their service.
  • Collette Booth – Parent

    Kickstart have been fantastic with my son.  He loves going and really enjoys playing with children of all ages or participating in one of the various activities provided.  The staff are just wonderful and know and understand all the children on an individual basis.  Couldn’t recommend Kickstart enough.
  • Cher Stanley – Parent

    My child loves coming to Kickstart and looks forward to it every day.  I love the fact that everyone is so friendly, and it is a lovely family atmosphere, and everyone is so approachable.  I would recommend Kickstart to anyone
  • Tracey Burns – Parent

    We have been attending Family Club for many years. I personally find it helps my mental health being able to socialise with other grown ups and having your child there helps break the ice. My son has come on in leaps and bounds and we enjoy sessions both separately and doing a project together. I am much more relaxed and in turn that makes for a happy mummy and child.
  • Parent

    I really like how well they work with the school too so I feel that the transition is seamless and that important messages don’t get lost and care is continuous between the two.
