On Wednesday we ventured along the cycle track in rain and wind in mass to raise money for Meningitis; saving lives, rebuilding futures. We invited our families and friends to join the fun, where we togged the children up in water-proofs and wellies to start the Waddle. We had a number of volunteers who helped us, which we were very pleased to see so thank you! This allowed all of Free Rangers to venture out, leaving Valerie behind to man the fort and prepare our well-earned lunch!

We are pleased to announce the opening of the new office this week. If you would like to visit please feel free, likewise if you want to pop in and say Hello you are more than welcome. Gemma or Jess will be on the gate each morning as normal for general enquiries as well as to meet and greet our little rangers. However if you would like to talk privately we can use the multi-purpose room, which has a main use as our staff room. The Free Rangers team are very excited as we are wifi friendly across the whole of the nursery. This will assist with our EYFS Cog that we are transferring to, instead of the learning logs which again, we are very excited about. This will allow your children's learning to be more accessible and visual to you, as we can upload photographs, videos and observations throughout the day. As we believe parents/carers are the children's first educators, we feel it is paramount for you to be part of your child's learning, therefore you will have access to your child's cog and share their home experiences with us, again with photographs and video's, as well as anecdotes from the children's explorations and learning.
We would like to say massive thank you to Adam Drescher Construction for the refurbishment and design of the new office, as well as the other local business that participated:
- Woodfit
- JD Electrical
- MW Plestor Plumbing
- West Country Joinery
- Temple Plastering and Rendering
We are also currently taking bookings for 2016, if you are interested in your little ones becoming a Free Ranger or to visit our lovely setting please contact Gemma on 01761411328 to arrange a visit.
We wish you a Happy Halloween!!
Gemma and all the Team at FR!

Big Ted Comes to Visit!
The team and children at Free Rangers celebrated Ted's Big Day Out on Friday 18th October 2013. We celebrated in style by wearing a hat or a wig and meeting Big Ted alongside the Heart FM Team. We enjoyed the afternoon with homemade Teddy Bear biscuits for our snacks as well as raising money which will be donated to Cancer Care at the Royal United Hospital.
