Dear
Parents
Staff
news
Sadly
Magda has decided to become a Nanny so will be leaving us on Christmas Eve.
We
work very hard to keep our staff with staff health benefits schemes, fun events
and providing training. However sometimes people feel it is their time to move on.
We
are currently recruiting for a new person and I will keep you updated on how
this is going.
As
always if any of you want to talk to me about staffing or anything else please
let me know.
Party
It’s
our Christmas party this Friday 5th from 3.30-5pm. If your child is
not in on this day they are very welcome to come along with an adult.
Siblings
are also welcome, but please can you bring in a gift for them as Father
Christmas has only packed presents for the nursery children.
Nativity
It’s
the nativity play next Monday 8th at 4pm, Tuesday 9th at
9.30 and 4pm.
In
the afternoons we will be doing tea early so you may need to give your child a
light supper when they get home.
It
is going to be very busy as usual so you will only be allowed to come to the
performance you have signed up for. Also you may wish to leave coat/ bags at home
as it will be cosy in there!
Illness
We
have a few bugs going around. We are still having children with high
temperatures. We have also had two staff and two children with a sickness bug.
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
Monday and Tuesday teas have been changed to rolls
and sandwiches and tea will be served earlier on these days.
If you
would like to see a copy of our allergens menu at any time please ask!
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.

stage, the guidance we use to support our planning and practice, please visit:
