We would like to remind you that Monday 14th May is our whole school Open Evening. Nursery will be open from 3.30 – 5.30 for any parents/carers who would like to pop in for a chat and to have a look at their child’s “special book”. We look forward to seeing you then if you are available to come along. Please remember that your child’s book is also available every day for you to look at and staff are happy to chat to you if you have concerns or queries.

Welcome To Nursery
Four new children have joined us this week and they are beginning to settle into Nursery life, learning about the routines and beginning to grow in confidence to try out a range of activities. We hope that our new families enjoy using our blog to get a feel for life in Hecklegirth Nursery and thought we would share some photos of the children enjoying their first couple of days. We hope that you all have lots of happy times with us.
New Children
Twelve new two and three year old children have joined us this term and they are beginning to settle into Nursery life. They are becoming familiar with the routines and are beginning to grow in confidence to try out a range of activities. We hope that our new families enjoy using our blog to get a feel for life in Hecklegirth Nursery and thought we would share a few photos of some of the children enjoying their first few days. If you have not already done so, we would appreciate it if you could please return your child’s permission forms and we can then show your child at play on our blog.
Welcome
We would like to warmly welcome Meghan Branney to our Nursery. Meghan is in her second year of studying for a B.A.Hons in Education Studies at the University of Cumbria and will be in our Nursery on a Friday this term. We hope that Meghan enjoys her time with us and look forward to her working with our team.
Welcome Back
After the first two days of the new term the children are settling back in to Nursery routines with confidence. As you can see, they are creating their own adventures in our ice cave, exploring the outdoor area and developing their learning in a range of activities.
Thank you to those new families who have returned their forms already – once we have your permission forms completed, the children will be able to make an appearance on our blog for the first time.
New Term
Tomorrow, Thursday 4th January, will be the start of term and we are looking forward to seeing everyone again, along with the twelve new children who will also be getting ready for their first day. We hope that they are excited to be starting Nursery and are looking forward to making new friends. No doubt everyone will make them feel welcome and we hope that this is the beginning of a happy experience for the children and their families.
Our morning session will have a soft start, as usual, between 8.45 and 9.10. The afternoon session will begin at 12.15. We look forward to seeing you all tomorrow.
Welcome
