Our Children
Opal Parent Playtime - November 2022
30 November
Our children had a lovely time playing with their parents during our November Opal Parent's playtime. Thank you to all of the parents who attended.
Our new addition, the digging pit, was a huge success.
See below for some feedback from our parents.

Parent Survey Nov 22What could we further improve?
- Several of our parents have asked us not to just run Parent Opal Playtimes on Wednesdays - we will look to improve this for next time.
- Some families asked us to tell parents more about their children's playtimes if they can't attend. We are looking to share as much as we can online as possible.
- Some parents wanted designated time for the children to change their clothes.
- More undercover areas were asked for.
- Some families asked us to request wellies instead of trainers for wet weather play.
- Most of our parents commented that there was nothing that we could do to improve Opal playtimes further - it is perfect as it is. Whilst this is lovely, we have lots of ideas for new play equipment that we can't wait to show you next time! We are always looking to make things even better for our children.
