week commencing 30th July

Olympics party

We are raising money for the children’s Charity Crackerjacks by holding an Olympic party on Thursday 9^th August.

We will be asking everyone who is in on that day to wear sports clothes and donate £1 (or more if you like) to the charity. We will be having an Olympic party in the afternoon and be taking part in our own Olympic events! Crackerjacks Children’s Trust, are committed to offer help and assistance to any child, or their family who have suffered a severe disability. To learn more about the charity you can visit  www.crackerjacks.org.uk

New parent link members

We are on the hunt for new members to join our parent focus group, parent link. We don’t ask for much of your time, we just meet three times a year to discuss new ideas, policies and the continued improvement of the nursery. It is really important that we get feedback from parents so we can continue to offer the best service that we can to children and their families.  If you are interested please let me know.

Bluebells quote

I am updating the room books and am after a quote to go on the front of the Bluebells book. If you can think of a short paragraph on why you or your child liked Bluebells please can you send it too me, even if your child is no longer a Bluebell. Many Thanks
