Week Commencing 14th April


Dear Parents,

 

We had some fantastic news from Emma earlier in the week that Holly is in remission! We are thrilled that she is making such good progress. Holly will continue to undergo her maintenance treatment over the coming months.

 

Menu

Our Spring/Summer Menu’s will be in place from the 22nd April. I have attached a copy for you all to see.

 

Easter

We are all looking forward to celebrating Easter next week. The children and staff will be taking part in an exciting Easter Egg hunt on Wednesday!

A reminder that the nursery will be closed on Good Friday and Easter Monday but will reopen as normal for the rest of the Easter.

 

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:  Key person policy

 

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.

For more information on the Early Years Foundation stage, the guidance we use to support our planning and practice, please visit:
