💛 Back to school… let’s make it a gentle one! 💛

As the summer holidays begin to draw to a close, thoughts may be turning towards new classes, new routines, new teachers — and perhaps a few butterflies too! 🦋

Starting a new school year is a big moment for children, and sometimes the best thing we can do is simply listen, reassure and give them time to adjust.

We love this simple guide, packed with practical ideas to help families prepare for the return to school — from easing back into routines and encouraging independence, to talking openly about worries and making goodbyes feel a little easier.

And remember… perfect isn’t the goal — connection is. ❤️

We’re really looking forward to welcoming all of our children and families back to school and starting another wonderful year together. 🌈✨

You’ve got this. They’ve got this. Let’s make it a great year! 💙

I hope you are all enjoying a wonderful summer break and finding time to relax, have fun and make special memories together.
While I promise we're not wishing the summer away, I know many families are already turning their thoughts to September! To help with planning ahead, I'm sharing the booking link for our Breakfast Club and After School Club.

Places can be booked now for the autumn term. As always, our wraparound care, ran by Beyond The Physical, offers a welcoming, safe and enjoyable environment for children before and after the school day.
We are very much looking forward to welcoming everyone back to school next week and hearing all about your summer adventures.
Until then, enjoy the rest of the holidays!

✨ What has made our children feel proud this year? ✨

This week, we spent some time in assembly celebrating something really special… the moments that have made our children feel proud of themselves.

Every child wrote their own proud moment on a Post-it note. Some were about learning something new, some were about showing kindness, making friends, being brave, trying something for the first time, helping others or never giving up. Every single one mattered.

Watching our children reflect on their achievements reminded us that success isn’t always about the biggest milestones. Often, it’s found in the small moments that build confidence, resilience and self-belief.

We hope you enjoy this little glimpse into the memories and achievements that have made our children smile this year. We couldn’t be prouder of every single one of them. 💛

“A proud moment may last just a minute,
But the confidence it builds can last a lifetime.”

There’s something special about childhood spent outdoors 🌿

At Wellfield Infant & Nursery School, we believe children thrive when they are given the freedom to explore, play, discover and enjoy nature in a safe, nurturing environment. Our enclosed grounds and forest school experiences provide rich opportunities for curiosity, creativity and confidence to grow every day.

✨ High quality provision
✨ Quality-first teaching
✨ Exploration through play
✨ Safe, calm outdoor spaces

We are now welcoming children for September & January starts.

☕🍰 A little time together to say thank you… 💗

Today we had the pleasure of treating our wonderful midday assistants to a special afternoon tea, beautifully supported by our fantastic Year 1 and Year 2 School Council representatives. Our children were outstanding hosts and should be incredibly proud of the kindness, confidence and respect they showed throughout.

Later in the afternoon, we welcomed our teaching staff and teaching assistants to enjoy scones, cakes and a well-earned moment together. In the busyness of school life, it’s important to pause and recognise the incredible people who make our school such a special place.

To every member of Team WINS – whether you’re welcoming children each morning, supporting learning, caring for children at lunchtime, keeping our school running behind the scenes or helping families every day – thank you. Your dedication, compassion and teamwork make a difference to our children every single day, and we are so grateful for everything you do.

Here’s to another wonderful year together. 💙

20/07/2026

As another wonderful school year comes to an end, we asked our Year 1 and Year 2 children one simple question…

“What has been your favourite memory this year?” 💛

Their answers made us smile, laugh and, in some cases, brought a tear to our eyes.

From games of tig and football on the playground…
To Chester Zoo, Forest School and Sports Day…
From decorating biscuits and making sandwiches…
To World Book Day, discos and the Summer Fair…
From friendships, achievements and cartwheels…
To the quiet moments that meant the most.

Every Post-it note tells the story of a year filled with learning, laughter, kindness and belonging.

Thank you to our incredible children for filling our school with joy every single day. We are so proud of each and every one of you and can’t wait to see where your next adventure takes you. 💙✨
