Dear
Parents
Water
toys
We
are building up our water toy selection and we need plastic bottles in
different sizes, old sieves, plastic containers with or without lids, anything
you think would be fun to play with in the water would be great. If you have
any thing at home you could bring in please give them to Donna.
Food
As
part of our action plan we are looking at ways to inform you further about our
meals. We are in the process of taking photos of the dinners so you will be
able to see what we are serving. We are also looking at ways we can inform you
of portion size so you have an even better understanding of what your child has
eaten at Nursery. Watch this space over the next few weeks!!
Illness
We
have had a few cold bugs going around, leaving the children very tired and not
themselves. A couple of children have also had a tummy bug.
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: Whistle blowing (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.
