Dear Parents/Carers,
Welcome to the July edition of our Newsletter, which is full of exciting news and includes details of our forthcoming events.
Staff Member and Room of the Month
For June, our Staff Member of the Month award went to Amy for settling back into her role and supporting the team really well.
Pre-school were awarded Room of the Month for their continuous commitment to support each child’s transition to school. Pre-school provided a wide range of transitional activities, such as school uniform role pay, group discussions and mark making tables with different stationary.
Please continue to make your nominations by using the nomination slips, located at the main and side entrances. You can also send your nominations direct to the office via email.
Holiday Club
Our next Holiday Club will run from Monday, 25th July until Friday, 2nd September for children who are already attending school. Please note we are closed on Monday, 29th August due to the bank holiday. To book a place, or for more details, please speak to Morgan or Sophie in the office or email us your requirements to find out how we can help.
Sun Protection
We have experienced some lovely weather and hopefully we will experience more. We kindly ask that you provide a sun hat for your child, clearly labelled with their name. Nursery will provide sun cream, which is Aldi sensitive, sun protection factor 50. Should you wish to use a different brand, please bring in your own unopened sun cream, labelled with your child’s name for us to use at nursery.
We ask that you apply sun cream, when necessary, prior to your child attending their nursery session. We are obligated by our regulator to ensure all children wear sun cream whilst playing outdoors, so your understanding and help with this important issue is very much appreciated.
Pre-school Graduation
This will be held on Friday 22nd July for all children who leave us to start full time school. If you would like more information, please speak to your child’s key person.
Polite Reminders – Mobile Phone and Fees
Please be reminded that nursery fees are due in advance. If you have any queries about this, please speak to Morgan or Sophie in the office.
Please be reminded that mobile phones should not be used whilst waiting to collect your child, and that you should arrive at least 10 minutes prior to the end of your nursery session, to allow sufficient time for collection and handover.
Our regulator, Ofsted, regards the use of mobile phones as a child safeguarding issue and as such your help in this regard is very much appreciated.
Sessions
Unfortunately, due to staffing and numbers we are unlikely to be able to swap or change sessions. If you require any additional sessions for your child/children, then please contact Morgan or Sophie in the office and we will help if we can.
