week commencing 3rd February

Dear Parents

 

Don’t forget from next week the Bluebells and Babies will be swapping rooms!

 

Building work

The building work has started. Haydon has started building the new storage in the hallway and by Friday will be moving on to the cot room.

Next week he will be working on the cot room. The weekend of 8^th February work on the new Bluebells room will begin. This will mean that when we come back to nursery on 10^th the New Bluebells room may not look as pretty as normal but it will be safe and clean.

I  will keep you updated each week on what the plans are for the following week. If anything pops up in the mean time, I will also let you know.

Thank you for your patience and understanding whilst the work is being completed. Like I keep saying to the team, it will all be worth it in the end!

If anyone would like to see a copy of the building work risk assessment 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.
