We had a special visitor pop into the Nursery today when he was out for a test drive and heard our lovely singing. We were so excited to see Santa and hear how he is preparing for Christmas Eve. He asked us to help at home by tidying our rooms and to go to bed early each night so we can have a great nights sleep. Santa gave us a little surprise as he really loves a bedtime story.
