Over three mornings, grandparents enjoyed coffee and pastries at Gabbies Café, where they had the chance to connect with other grandparents before joining their grandchildren in the Nursery rooms for quality playtime.

These sessions provided a wonderful opportunity for grandparents to experience the nursery environment firsthand and to see how our young learners spend their days. Activities ranged from painting, plasticine modelling, and messy play to story time, sandpit exploration, and games in the playground. There was no shortage of cuddles and laughter as children—babies, toddlers, and preschoolers alike—excitedly shared their learning spaces and play activities. Many grandparents found themselves happily roped into games with enthusiastic little ones eager to engage.

These moments of connection and joy made for truly special sessions, and we look forward to welcoming mothers and grandmothers for their Stay and Play events in mid-November!
