Dear
Parents
Charlotte’s
party!!!! This week!
It
is Charlotte’s 15 year anniversary working at Castle Nursery so we are having a
surprise party!
The
party is this Thursday (7th November) from 4 pm to 5pm everyone is
invited, children not in on this day will need to be accompanied by an adult.
We
will be having a party tea, games and dancing.
If
you would like to contribute to a present for Charlotte there is a collection
and a card, just see Jess or Caroline.
It
is also Emma’s five years at Castle so we will be celebrating this too!
Policies
We
are currently reviewing all of our policies. If you would like to read through
them and give your feedback, you could help shape the way we operate.
Just
let Caroline know and we can email you a copy of the policies to look at. All
feedback is gratefully received.
Staff
news
This
week Caroline is attending a training session on the Special Educational Needs
and Disability reforms and Emma is attending a training session on ‘Tummy Time’
for the babies.
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.
