Dear
Parents
Building
work
The
Baby room has been decorated this week and looks great!
This
weekend the electrician will be in to replace the lights, move some wiring in
Bluebells and fix the buggy shed light.
Events
The
Chicks are arriving on Monday! For those families who haven’t been here in
previous spring times, we get 10 chicken eggs for two weeks.
During
this time we get to see them hatch and grow. We can hold them and help take
care of them. Pop into Sunflowers to see the chicks!
Mother’s
day week is 24th – 28th, all Mummies are welcome to pop
in any day from 8.45-11 or 2.30 – 5. So why not join your child at snack time,
or in the garden!
You
can come in any day, it doesn’t have to be a day that your child comes into
nursery.
Also
on Friday 28th we are having our Mother’s day tea party from 4-5 pm.
Lateness
Please
can you make sure your child is collected by the end of their session. Lots of
children are now being collected after 1pm and after 6pm. This affects our
ratios.
If
you are late you may be charged a late fee, so please make sure that other
people collecting your child are also aware of this.
Celebrations
This
week we are celebrating St Patrick’s day!
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!
Policies
of the week
We
will be displaying a different policy every week in the hallway and on our
blog: http://castlenursery-southhill.blogspot.co.uk
(you may have to cut and paste this link).
If
you would like to see this or any of our policies please ask Caroline.
Our Policy this week is: Supporting Children and families with English as
an Additional language
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.
