Dear Parents/Carers,

Happy 2018 to you all and a very warm welcome back! We hope you and all your family enjoyed the holidays and are now ready to become involved in our various activities.

Our “coffee n chat” groups will start up again this month. Please come and join us. Coffee and a friendly chat with other parents will be available every Thursday in the Parent’s Room in the extension. Come on in and just relax and chat. This is an excellent way of meeting up or making new friends as well as helping out in the nursery. We really need help with outings or we cannot offer this to our children.

 

Registration for Primary School

 If your child was born between March 2013 and February 2014 you must register them for primary school. If you have not registered your child already please come and speak with Mrs. Evans.

Please call in to the office and tell us which school your child will be moving on to in the summer.

 

 Spare Clothes

Please help us. We are very, very short of spare clothes. Children have accidents and this is normal. However, unfortunately all our clothes have been used, sent home have NOT been returned.

We now have no spare clothes and therefore may need to call you to come to nursery to help us with your child if they have an accident.

Learning through play

This term we will be focusing strongly on exploring our world.  If you would like to participate in this please get in touch. We will be sending home ideas for activities for you to share with your child as well as some rhymes to continue the development of early literacy skills.

 

PAThS

This continues to be held on a weekly basis for our Pre- school children and it is very helpful in developing their social and emotional skills. If you would like to sit in on one of these sessions please speak with a member of staff.

 

Parent Partners

Thank you for all your wonderful support which allowed us to give your children a lovely Christmas. We used part of our snack fund to bring in a Panto for the 3-5 children – Beauty and the Beast which was enjoyed by all. Our Toddler team enjoyed a fun day full of festive sensory activities and games. The parents were invited and enjoyed themselves as much as the children! We are now looking for ways to involve you in more of our fun learning experiences.

A small but enthusiastic group of dads is busy planning an outdoor project so look out for new developments; or better still come in and join in the fun.
