High Beeches school
£5 per child, adults free

High Beeches would love to welcome you to our first Bunny Hop event!

Join our Bunny Hop for a fun Easter egg hunt and challenges, garden party-style games, crafts, face painting, glitter tattoos and disco. Plus bar, cake and gift stalls.

Tickets are £5 per participating child. A full size egg is included with every ticket. Free entry to adults.

This event is open to all - we hope to see you there!

Two sheep think they know everything about sleep.

They're experts in the field.

But tonight they're wide awake.

Snuggle up and join two sheep on a journey through the joys and frustrations of everything bedtime. A touching, musical adventure filled with sensory play, for 0-3 year olds and their (very tired) grown ups.

The farm will be open again during the peak Lambing Season this Easter.

Visitors can hold the lambs and see a modern sheep farm at work. With over 2000 sheep to give birth, it is a great chance to see lambs being born, taking their first few steps and suckling their mothers for the first time.

When cheeky Cockney, Bill learns he's the longlost heir to the Earl of Hareford, he's suddenly whisked from the streets of London to the grand halls of aristocracy. To become a proper gentleman, he's expected to leave behind his roots and Sally, the girl he loves. In this new interpretation, EastEnders meets Made in Chelsea as Bill tries to fit in. But what will win - love and loyalty, or dress codes and etiquette?

The New York Post described the musical as 'a honey - it has humor, music, dancing, charm, wit and a deft expertise, and that takes your heart away.'

Friday Play Mornings @ The Nest are a warm, relaxed way to end the week with your child.

This 75-minute mixed-age session welcomes babies and young children (0-5 years) into a calm, beautiful, carefully prepared play environment where they can explore freely while parents can sit with a cup of tea or coffee and take a breather.

It isn't a structured class and there's nothing you need to prepare for - you can feed, change, cuddle or settle your child as needed and simply follow their pace. The atmosphere is kept gentle rather than busy so younger babies feel comfortable alongside older toddlers.

I'm Alisa, a mum of two and a Montessori guide, and I'll be there throughout - welcoming families, supporting play and keeping the space calm and comfortable.... Read more
