Dear
Parents
Just
a quick reminder that the nursery will be closed for Good Friday and Easter
Monday.
Parent
Questionnaires
It’s
that time of year when we ask you to complete the annual parent questionnaire!
We
use the information from these questionnaires and the staff questionnaires to
create action plans of ways we can continue to improve.
Please
can you take a few minutes to complete the questionnaire as your opinions are
very important to us.
Follow
the link to get to the survey:
ILD’S
Don’t
forget to add all of your Easter fun photos onto your child’s ILD.
It’s
great for the staff to see how the children are developing outside of nursery
and the older children like to share their photos at circle times.
Most
of the end of term reports are now on the ILD’S so don’t forget to have a look
at these.
At
the end of each term, each key person writes a small summary on each child’s
progress and sets next steps for the following term.
As
always you can add your comments, observations and photos to your child’s ILD.

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:
