Dear Parents
New
Fees
From
1st January, our fee schedule will be changing. Unfortunately due to
the rising cost of things such as food and energy bills we are having to raise
the fees. This is not a decision we take lightly. Copies of the new fees will be given to you by the team.
Nativity
We
are all very excited about our Nativity show on Thursday! We are looking
forward to seeing you at either 9.30 or 4.30. If you would like a reminder of
which performance you have booked please let me know. Due to the high numbers
please only attend the performance you have booked. As space is limited you may
wish to leave bags/coats at home.
Christmas parties!
The
children’s Christmas party is on Thursday 20th December at 3.30 – 5.30.
If your child is not in on that day they will need an adult to accompany them.
If your child is in, come along anyway! Father Christmas will be here from 4.30
to deliver the gifts. Siblings are also welcome, however we will need you to
provide a gift from Father Christmas so they don’t miss out.
Each
key person will be responsible for designing an activity based on their key
children’s needs; however, all children who are in on that day will have the
opportunity to access the activity too.
If
the key person is on holiday or off, another staff member will be able to lead
the activity in their place so that the children do not miss out.
