Week commencing 17th November


Dear Parents

 

End of term reports

We are now going to add our end of term summary reports to the ILD’S. These are short reports we do on each child to assess how they have progressed each term. If you have any comments on these reports you can talk to your child’s key person or write something yourself on the ILD.

Thank you to the parents who have added information on to their child’s ILD. We hope you will all be doing that soon so we can create a true picture of your child’s learning journey in their early years.

I still have some parents who have not signed up to the ILD yet, it is really important that you do so. If you need another form or have any questions please let me know.

 

Funding forms

It’s that time of the term again when I send out the forms for the funding. The Sunflowers teams are giving these out along with the information guide if this is the first time we will claim funding for your child. I have also attached an information guide to this email.

 

Illness

We still have a nasty cough/temperature bug going around. It has mainly been affecting the Sunflowers and Babies so please be aware.

 

 

Useful websites:

Here are the links for the Surrey Family Information Service, Free Early Education (the 15 hours funding) and Free Early Education for Two year olds.

 


 

Menus

There are no planned changes to this week’s menu.

 

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:
