Hello everyone,
As the days grow a little brighter, the children have been busy noticing the signs of spring around them. We’ve been spotting new buds on trees, listening for birds, and looking closely at the changes in our outdoor areas. These seasonal changes are creating many wonderful learning opportunities both indoors and outdoors, as well as during our visits in the local community. The children are showing great curiosity and enthusiasm as they explore, observe, and talk about what they see. We are also looking forward to welcoming families to our Bookbug Sessions next week for those who have signed up, taking place on Tuesday or Wednesday morning between 9.00 a.m. and 10.00 a.m. We can’t wait to share songs, stories, and rhymes together.

World Book Day
World Book Day was a wonderful success in the nursery, with the children enjoying a range of fun activities celebrating stories and books. Many children came dressed as their favourite characters, and it was lovely to see their excitement as they shared their costumes and talked about the stories they love. Throughout the day we explored books together, listened to stories, and took part in imaginative play inspired by our favourite characters. It was a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the joy of reading and storytelling together!
International School Meal Day – Menu Change: Thursday 12th March
Please find attached our planned menu change for next Thursday 26th February. The allergy information is included to enable your child to select a suitable option. However, if you require further allergy or dietary information, please contact your catering team via the school office. If you have completed a lifestyle meal request form a suitable alternative will be provided.
Voluntary Contributions to Nursery Fund
Voluntary contributions to our nursery fund play a valuable role in enriching the experiences we can offer the children. While core activities are always provided, these contributions help us go further—supporting special resources, workshops, outings, and creative projects that spark curiosity and make learning even more exciting. Every contribution, no matter the size, directly benefits the children by providing opportunities that enhance their development and enjoyment at nursery. We appreciate your involvement and engagement with all aspects of nursery life and look forward to working with you again this year. Contributions can be made via ParentPay. Thank you so much to those families who have already donated.
Achievements
We love celebrating the children’s achievements both in nursery and at home, and we’d be delighted if you could share special moments from outside of nursery too. Whether it’s learning a new skill, showing kindness, or simply making you proud, these experiences help us to build a fuller picture of your child’s development. Please feel free to send in photos, notes, or stories so we can share their successes with the nursery community and celebrate them together. Click on the Achievements link below to share achievements with us.
As always, we are always here to help in any way we can, whether that be about your own child or a more general matter in relation to the school or nursery. We are also always looking for suggestions and new ideas so please don’t hesitate to get in touch at any time.
Have a wonderful weekend.
