This year, YMCA Fairthorne Group is proudly celebrating an incredible 213 pre-school graduates as they prepare to take their next exciting step into school.
While it is always bittersweet to say goodbye to the children who have been such an important part of our settings, we are immensely proud of everything they have achieved during their time with us. Watching them grow in confidence, develop new skills, build friendships, and discover a love of learning has been a privilege for our teams.
Across the group, we are celebrating:
- 45 graduates from YMCA Andover
- 43 graduates from YMCA Eastleigh
- 63 graduates from YMCA Fairthorne Manor
- 21 graduates from YMCA Fairthorne Manor Forest School
- 12 graduates from YMCA Whale Island
- 29 graduates from YMCA Newport
At YMCA Fairthorne Group, we are committed to ensuring every child is school ready. Through play, exploration, creativity, and nurturing support, our dedicated practitioners help children develop the confidence, independence, and resilience they need to thrive in their next chapter.
As our graduates put on their caps and celebrate this milestone, we would like to thank our families for trusting us to be part of their children’s early years journey. We wish all 213 graduates the very best as they begin their school adventures and look forward to seeing all they achieve in the years ahead.
