week commencing 31st March


Dear Parents

 

It has been a lovely few weeks, we have enjoyed looking after the chicks and having our Mummies come in and play!

We are looking forward to finishing our week with our Mummies Tea party on Friday from 4-5 pm.

 
Illness

We have had one case of head lice in the Bluebells room. Please can you check your child and treat them if needed. Thank you.

 

Save the children Week

On week of 28th April we are inviting all of the Bluebells and Sunflowers children to join in our Save the Children fundraising week!

 

To raise money for this great charity we are having dressing up days with a minimum donation of £1 per day

 

Monday’s theme is: Books or TV Characters

Tuesday’s theme is: PJ’S and Onsie day

Wednesday’s theme is: Fairy tales

Thursday’s theme is: Super heros

Friday’s theme is: Anything goes!

 

We will also be taking photos of the children and selling them to raise even more money! If you have any questions see Sophie!

 

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!

 

Easter

The nursery will be closed on Good Friday and Easter Monday but open as normal for the rest of Easter.

I am on holiday from 3rd-25th April and will leave you in Charlotte and Jess’s capable hands.

 

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:  Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)

 

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.
