\nAt nursery, we are continuing to reinforce the importance of good handwashing habits to help maintain a healthy and hygienic environment for everyone. Children are encouraged to wash their hands regularly, especially before eating and after using the toilet, with staff modelling the correct technique and providing gentle reminders throughout the day. Fun songs and rhymes are also used to make handwashing an enjoyable and memorable part of our daily routine, helping children understand why keeping their hands clean is so important in preventing the spread of germs.\u00a0 We use this fun video. Here is the link<\/a> in case you would like to watch it with your child at home too:<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>We encourage all families to leave a named pair of wellies at nursery so children can easily get ready for outdoor play. Our dedicated boot room makes it simple for children to change into their stored wellies and the waterproof puddle suits and jackets provided by the nursery. This routine helps promote independence as children learn to dress themselves, while ensuring they can enjoy exploring, playing, and learning outdoors in all kinds of weather.<\/p>\n

\n<\/strong>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\u2014supporting 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<\/a>.\u00a0 Thank you so much to those families who have already donated.<\/p>\n
