Week commencing 3rd March

Dear Parents

 

Building news

Haydon and Dennis will be working away this weekend to get more of the painting and jobs done.

The new sink in Bluebells should be fitted on Friday, we will also be having the sink in the baby room brought up to the same height as the new work surface.  

I am not sure yet when the baby room redecoration or flooring will be done but as soon as I know I will let you know!

 

Events

The Sunflowers are going to see the Gruffalo on Friday. For those parents meeting us here we are leaving here at 9.45 and for those of you meeting us at G Live we will be there at 10.15!

 

Parents Evening is 13^th March from 6.30 -8.30. Pop in at any time to chat with your child’s key person and meet other parents.

 

It’s Mothers’ week from 24^th March. All Mummies can stay and play any day this week.

Pop in any day from 8.45-11 am and 2.30 – 5pm and stay for as long or as little as you would like.

We will also be having a Mothers’ tea party on Friday 28^th March for all the Mummies to come along to from 4pm -5pm

The teams will be able to give you more details about our Mothers’ week

 

Buttercups

The Baby room is now shoe free.

Please use the shoe rack outside the baby room in order to keep the corridor clear.

 

Please can we ask all parents to come into their children’s room at pick up time. We only have a small nursery and it can be hard for other parents to come in if you all stand by the door/gate to your child’s room.

 

Sainsbury’s Active Kids vouchers

We are collecting Sainsbury’s active kids vouchers so we can get some new garden toys. So get everyone you know collecting please!

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.
