Week commencing 10th June

Dear Parents

 

Father’s week – Next week!!!

From 10^th – 14^th we are asking all Daddies to come into the Nursery, we still have spaces available so it’s not too late!

The Father’s day tea party is 4pm -5pm on Friday 14^th  and we hope to see all the Daddies there!

 

Sunshine!

Please can you make sure your child has sun cream and a sunhat that we can keep at Nursery. We have no idea how long the sun will last but we plan to make the most of it!

 

Staff News

A big congratulations to Josie for becoming a fully qualified Early Years Practitioner!

 

Policies of the week

We will be displaying a different policy every week in the hallway and on our blog:  http://castlenursery-southhill.blogspot.co.uk  (you may have to cut and paste this link).

If you would like to see this or any of our policies please ask Caroline.

Our Policy this week is: Medication

 

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.
