Dear
Parents
Nursery
News
So
hopefully by now you all know that I am leaving (sob) but that Jess is the new
Manager (hooray!)
My
last day will be Friday 7th August. I will be keeping in touch so it
won’t be the last you see of me!
I
am very pleased to be leaving you in the very capable hands of Jess.
Charlotte
will still remain as deputy as she still wants a very hands on role with the
children.
We
are currently recruiting for a new room leader for the preschool as well as a
new third in charge and as soon as we know who this will be we will let you
know.
Over
the next few weeks Jess will be getting in the swing of things in the office
and I will be spending some time at the new nursery.
Nursery
Party
The
plans for the Nursery’s 20th birthday party are in full swing.
The
hog roast is booked, Eli our music teacher will be doing some sessions and the
bouncy castle and balloon modeller are all lined up.
Please
can you let us know if you will be coming so the hog roaster (not sure if
that’s the correct term?) has enough food for everyone.
Road
Closures
From
10th To 30th August there will be some work being done on
the Castle ground wall.
This
will mean that Castle Hill will become one way and Quarry Street will have a
reduced width as the contractor work from their vehicles.
This
will only be during the day 7.30-4.30 Monday to Friday but we all know what
Guildford traffic can be like so it may have a knock on effect!
Sunflowers
Graduation
The
Sunflowers School Leavers Graduation is Thursday 16th July from
3.30-5pm.
We
will be having a bouncy castle, party tea and the Graduation Ceremony will be
4.30-5pm.
Leavers
Please
remember we need a months’ notice for children leaving. Don’t forget to cancel
your childcare vouchers!

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:
This week’s planned activities are also now on the
ILD’S.
