Dear Parents

 

Staff news

We are delighted that Julia has become a permanent member of the team! Julia has been working as cover staff for a while and we are really pleased that she will be joining us full time. As we expect Emma to be off for a while Julia will be taking over Emma’s role as Room Senior as well as taking over Emma’s key children. If you have any questions about this please see Caroline or Charlotte.

We have started a collection to raise money for a wig for Holly. If you would like to donate any money please see Caroline.

 

Children in Need

Congratulations to the winner of our through the keyhole game: Jackie Pocock!

The winner was drawn today by one of our parents.

We have managed to raise £110.00 For Children In Need, which is great!

 

Nursery Policies

To all of those parents who have kindly reviewed our policies please can we have your feedback now for us to use when we update the policies next week.

 

Last week of the colouring competition!

This is the last week to return your child’s completed picture; then we must all make sure we pop into Hamptons Estate agents and vote for the Castle Nursery pictures.

 

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.
