Dear Parents/Carers

 A warm welcome back to all our returning children and families; we hope you had a lovely summer and enjoyed all the good weather.

We have a new Team Leader who will be supporting all staff with developing children’s learning. Her name is Kate and she has curly hair, just like Wendy! Do stop and say hello when you meet her in the playrooms. Her picture will be added to our staff walls. Congratulations and welcome to Kate! We also extend a very warm welcome to all our new children and families. We hope you enjoy your time with us.

As we prefer to buy our own snack we will continue to ask for a donation of £2.50 every week for this. This also allows the children to have some say in the choosing and, at times, buying of the food. The rest of the money goes towards items for baking, parties and outings. Snack is an important daily routine for all children. They enjoy sharing this experience with their friends and they learn so many life skills through this part of their day. Children will have the chance to plan and visit local shops to buy the snack for the nursery. They will learn more about healthy diet and making good choices, the role of money and how it needs to be used, as well as where food comes from and how it reaches our shops.

Snack money will be collected on Mondays in the main office or in the small office in the extension. Thank you.

Spare Clothes

Please remember to put your child’s name on any clothing. This will help us keep track of items for you.

 

Don’t forget to keep an eye out for current news or information on our television screen or on our school App on your phone.

 

To ensure the safe hand over or collection of your child please note the following rules:

• • No mobile phones in use in the nursery

• Older brothers and sisters may come into the playroom, but must be respectful of our safety rules

 

• Always speak to your child’s Key Worker at welcome and home time
• Always sign your child in or out
• Registration times are the first fifteen minutes at the beginning of the session
• Collection of children is during the last fifteen minutes of the session

There are very good reasons for this and Mrs Evans or any member of staff will be happy to discuss these with you.
