Dear
Parents
Nursery
news
You
may have seen the Handy men Dennis and Jamie have been with us this week. All
of the blinds have now been fitted, our front window has been stripped and
repainted, the front wall has had a good clean and the entrance hall is due to
have a bit of a refresh!
Looking
ahead to next year our numbers are getting very busy, we now have little or no
spaces in Bluebells and limited spaces in the other rooms. If you were
looking to change sessions please let me know as soon as possible so that we
are able to arrange these for you or get you on to our waiting list.
Please
can all parents make sure that the children do not bring in toys from home
(except comforters.) We had an incident this week where a child had to go to
hospital because they put a bead up their nose. The bead was from another
child’s bracelet that had been brought in and broken.
Please
can all Sunflower parents check and see if they have Scorch the Dragon and his
diary at home. As you can imagine he is very popular and the children are missing him!
Wow
vouchers
I
have attached Wow vouchers for you to complete at home over the summer. Any
achievements your child completes at home over the summer we would like to hear
about them! Don’t forget to get Grandparents and extended family involved too.
Holidays
Please
can you let us know if you are away; as part of
our policies we will call you if your child is expected in and does not arrive
and we do not want to be bothering you whilst you are away!
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: Child protection liaison officer (part of our safeguarding
children policies)
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.
