 Winter Weather

Koalas will be open as usual from Tuesday 12th January to children on our register only (not siblings off school because of the snow, sorry). Please be aware that the carpark and paths at Salt Way are still covered in snow and are slippery.

We leave it up to individuals as to whether they wish to attend on these snowy days.

Please be aware if there is more snow and it is necessary to close then this will be announced on Heart Radio and BBC wiltshire.
