Don’t forget this Friday is the Olympic torch procession through Guildford so leave yourself plenty of time to get where you need to be, it is going to be busy!!!!!!!!!!

End of term reports

It is the last day of the Summer term so we are asking all aprents to complete a Parent’s end of term progress sheets. These are attched to your weekly email and can be collected from your child's key person. For those parents who have not seen these before, we ask every parent to complete a short report about what their child has been doing at home. We them put this into your child’s Learning Journey book and use it alongside the information we have observed on your child. You can email them back to me or print hard copies. These are really important to us so I would like to thank you in advance.

Parent help!

Michelle, the Manager at our Markenfield Road nursery, is completing her Masters degree in Early Years. She is looking for two parents to volunteer to talk to her about effective parental participation.

The interview doesn’t take very long and can be arranged at your convenience. Please let me know if you are interested.
