We have had a super start to our year, as we begin to get to know our new children and their families, as well as welcoming back the familiar, happy faces. After two short taster sessions, when the children have had fun and begun to try out a variety of activities, they will now attend for the full session from Monday, 27th August.
As the coming weeks unfold, they should grow in confidence in their new environment. However, if your child takes a little while to feel comfortable, please allow him/her time to take things at their pace: we, as adults, cope with change in different ways and at different rates and children are exactly the same. If you have any concerns, please speak to staff who can offer you advice based on their experiences.
Once we have blog permission slips returned, we will be able to put photos and examples of the children’s work here. We hope that you will find this a valuable insight into your child’s experience of Nursery and that you will share in the life of the blog by adding a comment by clicking on the word ‘comments’ underneath the post title.

Nursery Uniforms
We would like to remind you that anyone who ordered Nursery uniforms last term can collect them from school on Wednesday. Please use the main door at the front of the school. If you are unable to collect the uniform tomorrow you can pick it up when your child starts Nursery. We look forward to seeing you all soon.
New Staff
We will initially have two new members of staff to welcome to our Nursery this year. Miss Hamer is a full-time Nursery Nurse and Mrs. Holliday is a Support for Learning Assistant who will work with us most afternoons. Both bring valuable experience to our team and we are delighted that they are able to join us at the start of another busy year.
Not Long Now
As our summer holidays draw to a close, we hope that the children are beginning to get excited about the start of a new year in Hecklegirth Nursery, whether they are returning or it’s the beginning of their time with us.
Our increased roll means that we will have two Nursery classes this year and children have been allocated a place in either the Rainbow Room or the Sunshine Room.
We would also like to remind parents and carers that the children will attend for one hour only on the first two days, Thursday 23rd and Friday 24th of August.
You will find details of your child’s time and room on the letter you received, allocating your child a place. If anyone is unsure of their child’s details, staff will be in Nursery on Tuesday 21st and Wednesday 22nd August and we will be happy to take your call to confirm this.
10 000 Visitors
Since our blog started in October 2010, it has grown and provided an opportunity for families to gain an insight into the life of our Nursery. In April 2011 we added a Clustrmaps counter to measure the number of visitors to our site and we are delighted to say that we have now had 10 000 visitors in that time. If you click on the small map you can see that we have had visitors from 46 countries. We are particularly delighted to have had 57 visitors from Poland and hope that we are helping some of our children’s families to keep in touch with what’s happening in our Nursery, despite living a distance away.
We really appreciate the comments on our posts as this, hopefully, helps to make it a fun, shared site for everyone. We hope that our new families starting later this month will enjoy this valuable tool and will continue to visit our site in the future.
