Dear
Parents
Thank
you to everyone who came to the nativity shows, they were a great success and
the costumes were brilliant!
Photos
of the nativity, Christmas parties and pantomime will be going up on our
digital photo frame in the hallway.
Christmas
closures
The
nursery will be closing at 3pm on Tuesday 24th and reopening with
normal opening hours on 2nd January.
For
those term time children, the term ends Friday 20th December and
starts again on 6th January.
Direct
Debits
The
direct debits are now up and running and going well!
All
regular voucher payments will be deducted from the amount taken, so voucher
users are still able to make the most of the ease of paying.
It
is also helpful for the children receiving Free Entitlement funding, as it
means you won’t have to change your standing order each month as your fees
change, the direct debit would do that for you.
If
you have any questions about direct debits please let me know.
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.
