Breakfast
club
Breakfast
club has now started! If you would like to take advantage of our early drop off
time of 7.45 just ask.
It
costs £2.50 per session and can be booked on a regular basis or as ad hoc
sessions. We need 24 hours notice for breakfast club.
Interactive
Learning Diary
Our
move from our paper learning journeys to the Interactive Learning Diary is
going well.
Each
Parent will receive their passwords in October so you will be able to see what
your child is doing at nursery, read observations and see photos and videos.
You
will also be able to add your own observations, photos and videos to create a
whole picture of your child’s development!
Missing
Jogging Bottoms
We
are missing some Gap jogging bottoms they are dark blue, with the GAP logo in
white at the top of one of the legs. They have white draw strings and
elasticated bottoms. If you have these at home please can you return them to
Sunflowers. Many Thanks
Family
photos
Please
can all the Bluebell and Baby room parents email in a family photo.
We
are creating family displays to further promote our home/ nursery bond.
Menus
There
are no planned changes to this week’s menu.
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.
