week commencing 8th April


Dear Parents

 

Parent Questionnaire

The closing date for the parent questionnaire is Wednesday 10th April. Paper copies are available for those of you who would prefer one.

Your feedback is really important to us  as we will use this as the basis for our Nursery Action plan. Please can you go to:


(you may have to cut and paste this link)

Many thanks to those of you who have already taken part.

School Leavers

It is nearly the time when our school leavers will be finding out which School they will be attending in September. As you all start to think of the logistics of it all I would like to let you know we will be offering the lunch time pickups from Pewley school again this year.

For those of you who don’t know, we can pick up the children who finish Pewley at lunch time and bring them back to the Nursery for the afternoon. If any of you are interested in this service please let Caroline know.

 
This week’s activities

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.
