Building update
Work on Yarrow Valley is still continuing after the flood and we are determined to be back in the building after the Easter break. The damage from the flood has given us the chance to make some improvements to the building. These improvements include a new kitchen which has been extended to accommodate an oven, this will be great for the club as it will now allow us to bake, cook and prepare a range of different snacks. Another change is that the office has been extended into the cloakroom at the front of the building. Children will now hang their belongings inside the room, sharing the hooks with the nursery members. Once we re-open parents will be able to come into the room to drop off or pick up children rather than standing at the door.
We have also made some additions to the back garden. A new wooden playhouse has been erected and a range of new plants have also been added.
