  Tonight we came together to Clap for Our Carers and it was a brilliantly emotional with cars beeping, instruments playing, children cheering, fireworks exploding and hands applauding. Thank you to everyone that joined in, every little helps and safely seeing and hearing our neighbours is a lovely way to end the evening. Head over to our Community page to see the videos from some of our homes.

• Covid-19 Important News

  Wed 18 Mar 2020

  Dear parents and carers,
  
  As you will have heard, the government has announced all schools in the U.K are to close from the end of the day on Friday for the foreseeable future. This is in response to the Coronavirus pandemic.

  
  However some provision will be put into place for children of key workers and children in some vulnerable groups.

  
  We will update you as soon as possible tomorrow with further information.
  We understand what a difficult and challenging time this is and will look to offer support and advice to all who need it.
