Dear Parents/Carers,
We have had a very busy start to the year with lots of groups and activities on the go. If you want to find out more about these, or if you want to be a part of our groups, please speak to a member of staff.
Our “coffee n chat” groups have started but as yet no-one has joined us for a chat. This month we will be holding our informal chats on Tuesdays and Wednesdays for the first hour of each session. This will allow us the chance to talk about the way forward for the nursery in terms of the new extended hours. 
Keeping your child safe!
As we are settling into our new hours may I give you a gentle reminder that it is a good idea to have only one parent bring each child into the playrooms. This greatly helps staff monitor the children and keeps the playrooms from becoming too busy, especially at welcome and home times. Thank you.
Healthy and safe.
Following on from the above we are planning to start a new project focusing on children knowing how to keep themselves safe from harm. We have had training in Early Protective Measures and something called The Pants Rule. This is all about helping children keep themselves safe. You can find more information on this on the NSPC website. Also before we begin this work we will have several information meetings with parents to share this very child friendly approach. It is all about helping children make good decisions about how to keep safe. Watch out for more information in the coming weeks.
