We all had a great first week back at nursery. We have been enjoying exploring familiar and new play contexts and are developing the relationships we had with friends we already knew. We are excited about lots of new friends starting this week.

Teddy Sleepover
Dear boys and girls,
The teddies have been having a great adventure since you have been gone. They have made lots of new friends and think nursery is lots of fun. Mrs Gordon, Mrs Ogilvie and Mrs Duncan have been giving them cuddles if they feel sad and have been helping them find good things to play with.
They liked playing in the sand and were a bit cheeky when they put it on the floor! Lots of the teddies liked playing in the construction corner and they tried building towers with lego and wooden blocks. They wish that you had been there to help them. They made pictures at the craft table with the glue and pasta, and drew pictures at the drawing table. They did lots of tricky puzzles and felt very proud when they managed to finish one. They liked cuddling up to have a story before bedtime. They are excited about you trying all of these things when you come to nursery!
We tucked them up in bed and read them a bedtime story. We kissed them all good night and they fell asleep very quickly. They were very sleepy after their busy nursery day.
They are all so excited to see you tomorrow (we are too!).
Lots of love,
Mrs Gordon, Mrs Ogilvie, Miss Stephen, Mrs Duncan and Mrs Bartlett
Sincere apologies again for the late posting of this! The blog has not been behaving and I have been trying for several hours! Thank you. 🙂
Teddy Sleepover
Mummies and daddies – sincere apologies for the delay in uploading the photographs from the sleepover. I am having problems with the files but hope to have them uploaded in the next 15 minutes. Thank you.
Boys and girls- I hope you don’t mind that we let the teddies stay up past their bed time because they were having such good fun together. We are just tucking them into bed and will have the photographs up very soon. 🙂
Forest Session Update
The sun is shining, the sky is blue and we are delighted to be going ahead with the forest today. It is very boggy and muddy underfoot – great for exploring mud – you may wish to wear waterproof walking boots/trainers or wellies. It is colder than you might expect in the forest, please dress warmly.
We look forward to seeing you all at 9.45am or 1.45pm at the nursery gate.
Kind regards,
The Nursery Team
Teddy Bears’ Picnic
Regrettably, due to the terrible weather forecast for tomorrow there will be no teddy bears’ picnic in the morning or afternoon sessions. Teddies are welcome to be dropped off to nursery on Thursday, when the children attend the forest session, so that they can stay for their sleepover on Thursday night.
We look forward to seeing you all for the forest at 9.45am or 1.45pm on Thursday.
Many thanks and apologies for any inconvenience,
The Nursery team.
Induction activities – new children
As part of the induction process you and your child are invited along to three activities within areas that the nursery regularly visits. The activities are intended to provide your child with the opportunity to meet new friends, get to know key nursery environments and some of the nursery staff, with the support of a parent/carer. The parent/carer must remain with their child throughout the activities. Regrettably, siblings are not able to join us on these induction activities.
