Christmas Jumper Day at IMFC!

Today we wore our Christmas themed jumpers to help raise awareness and help to transform lives around the world – from children caught up in conflict in countries like Syria, to families living in the shadow of the Ebola crisis in West Africa.

We have collected just over £100.00 for the charity and we will let you know the grand total as soon as all donations are collected.

Here are some photographs from the day!

Coffee and Chat Sessions

Please ensure you come along for our upcoming Coffee and Chat Sessions.


The sessions provide a great opportunity to chat with your child’s key worker, have a look at the learning taking place within the play rooms and catch up on what your child has been doing within the FC.


Next Dates are:


Tuesday 11th November with Miss Erskine for all our Balta and Lamba playroom children
and
Wednesday 12th November with Miss McAnally for all our Texa children.


Please come along.


Settling In

All returning children are now back with us and are settling back in to the nursery routine.

Our new children, for the most part joined us last week and they are being supported by staff on a daily basis as required to ensure quick and secure settling.

More new children are due to start over the coming weeks.

For all parents and carers – we ask that if you have any queries, comments or concerns about settling your child in to the Family Centre (or any other general queries) please come and ask.

Although you will quickly come to see the nursery is a very busy place we ALWAYS have time to speak to you.

Our door is always open!

Remember:

School and

Home

Always

Rely on

Each other
