All going well, the nursery will move back to the main school building in Spring 2017 but unfortunately we don’t think the garden space is being included in the refurbishment and it won’t be ready or adequate for us to use as a whole nursery. Outdoor play  is so important in the nursery curriculum and the children should be able to access the same learning opportunitities outside that they can inside, and more. Due to this, the nursery wish to fundraise between now and then to see if we can get enough money together to make the outdoor space suitable and appealing for our children to use. We appreciate that it won’t be these children that will directly benefit from a new garden at the school but maybe some of their siblings or cousins might do in the future. We were hoping to have a week each month which will be our enterprise/ fundraising week where the children and staff will make and bake products to sell for a small donation in the hope that we can start to make a contribution towards a new garden. The fundraising for this term will start next week at our nativity. There will be items for sale in the main corridor and a tin for donations.

If you have any suggestions for fundraising please share them with staff and we will see if they can be achieved in some way. Maybe some  parents might like to gather together and drive forward the nursery fundraising committee, if you are at all interested please come and speak to staff.

Our heartfelt thanks for all your support this year so far.
