Trip to IKEA, Milton Keynes

Buttons were invited to IKEA, Milton Keynes 

Our Buttons were very excited to be offered a trip out to IKEA. Buttons wanted to develop their self select cooking area and decided to take 16 children to help buy the resources. The children were able to explore the store and enjoyed lunch in the restaurant! Members of the public commented on their impeccable behaviour and both the staff and children had a wonderful time. 

Buttons became Beekeepers!

Buttons had the opportunity from an individual in the community, who keeps bees and makes honey, to come in and speak to the children about what she does on a weekly basis. The children had so much fun trying her protective equipment on and looking at her small swarm of bees.
