First Steps Childcare

Did you know you can pop into any of our nurseries this Saturday between 10.00am-12.00pm for a look around and meet the staff? We are having an Open Day so why not come and say hello! At Chichester you can also meet our new Forest School teacher and find out what she has planned!

Some of our children have been decorating biscuits in their pyjamas and some of them have been shaking buckets in their pyjamas and raising funds for #childreninneed2018

We're getting ready for #ChildrenInNeed Looking forward to seeing all those pyjamas tomorrow everyone!!

Our November Newsletters have just been sent out to our parents! You should have already received one by email, or you can pick one up from nursery. All newsletters can be found within our Families Area on our website: firststepschildcare.co.uk/pa…

Looking for something to do this #halfterm? Why not come along to one of our Village sessions? We still have plenty of spaces left on Tuesday at our Brinsbury Village, and Thursday and Saturday at our Chichester Village! Call 01243 530427 to book!

We have been enjoying the sunny spells while they last this week and made a pretend beach in our sensory tray - making sand castles and feeding the sharks! 🌞

Happy Grandparents Day! Some of our children visited our local nursing home today to spend time with the residents. We don’t know who enjoyed it more - them or us! #grandparentsday #carehome #visitors #chichester #sussex #firststeps
