WHY DO YOU NEED TO REGISTER ON BUFFY?

We start our registrations in September so please make sure we have up to date details for you. We ask for these details so that if we have a problem with the bus or the weather is not suitable for the bus to go out we can contact you, this will usually be by phone or email. We also share our registration details with our partner local children's centres.

NEWS FLASH!
Sadly Buffy won’t be coming out today (Monday 6th February) due to the snowy and icy conditions on the road.
Hopefully it will be back out bright and early on Tuesday morning to visit Hatfield Heath, Takely and Thaxted!
