May 2026

Our May newsletter highlights another busy month at Smiles, with children celebrating VE Day, Mental Health Awareness Week and World Bee Day through a range of creative activities. The children decorated biscuits, made medals and wreaths, created positive pebbles, worry dolls and stress balls, and designed their own bees and bee hives. We also share an update on our new Loose Parts Play Days, showcasing some of the imaginative creations children have built using open ended materials. Alongside this, the newsletter includes our latest Power of Play feature, updates on staff training and Early Help awareness, parent reminders, and a look ahead to next month’s themes.
