The nursery embraced the theme with a range of rainbow-inspired activities, inviting children to take part in vibrant crafts and experiences. A highlight of the day was baking and decorating cakes, adding a sweet and memorable touch to the celebration.

These events offered families, staff, and children a chance to connect while raising vital funds for a charity that provides emotional and practical support to families caring for a seriously ill child.

It was a joy to see the children so excited about baking, decorating, and getting involved in the rainbow-themed fun,” said Natasha Clarke, Nursery Manager at Townsend Montessori Nursery Herne Bay. “Our families were incredibly supportive, and we’re proud to have played a part in raising funds for such an important cause.”

Townsend Montessori Nursery Herne Bay’s fundraising contributed to a collective group total of £8,319 raised across The Old Station Nursery Group during July in support of Rainbow Trust.

The fundraising month reflects the group’s ongoing commitment to building strong communities, both within and beyond nursery walls, and supporting meaningful causes that reflect their ethos of community, connection, and contribution.

Rainbow Trust’s mission to support families through the most difficult of times is one that deeply resonates with the ethos of The Old Station Nursery Group, and this month’s efforts stand as a testament to the difference that can be made when communities come together.
