We would like to say a really big thank you back for your generosity and kindness, particularly with the thoughtful words so many of you have written inside cards.
To every child, parent and family that is leaving, we wish you the very best for the future and can only hope we have played a small, but positive and significant part in your lives.
We don't have space to share every single message, so have randomly picked two that have almost made us cry! Read them below...
“After over 7 years of being part of the Little Chums family, it feels so strange to be writing this as [name redacted] has finally come to the end of his time with you. It really does feel like the end of a huge chapter in our family's lives. Little Chums has been such a massive part of our everyday lives. It has been a place we have relied on, trusted and loved for such a long time. I will genuinely miss seeing all of your lovely, cheery faces every morning. Every member of staff has been fantastic and has played such an important part in our children's lives. You have made nursery a place they have been excited to come to, filled with fun, laughter, friendships and so many happy memories. You have watched them grow from little babies into confident little people and we couldn't have wished for a better start for them. We know when [name redacted] walks through the school gates, he is ready for that next chapter because of the wonderful foundations you have given him. And of course, we can't forget [name redacted] arriving each morning in his superhero or King cape, ready to take on the world! Thank you for always encouraging his imagination and letting him be completely himself. It's impossible to put into words how grateful we are for everything you have done for all 3 of our children, and for us as parents. Little Chums will always have a special place in our hearts. With love and the biggest THANK YOU!”
“Thank you so much for everything you have done for [name redacted] during his 4 years at Little Chums. Thank you for all the cuddles, giggles, encouragement and everything in between. You really have been the BEST!!! Your kindness, patience and care has meant so much to us and we’ll always be grateful this is where [name’s redacted] both started their nursery journeys. Thanks for all the memories, arts and crafts and looking after them as if they were you own. Lots of love."
