week commencing 10th September

Nursery Photographer

The photographer will be coming to the nursery this Monday (10^th September).

Every child who is in on Monday can have their picture taken and if your child is not in on Mondays you can come in between 11.30- 2.30 to have your photo taken. We can take pictures of siblings and family groups too so bring the whole gang!

 

Parents Evening

Parents Evening is  this Tuesday (11^th September). We will be open from 6.45 – 8.30 for Parents to drop in and have a chat with staff. We will be showing you your child’s learning journey book and talking about how they have been progressing.

We are also holding a “getting ready for school” presentation for the parents of the Sunflowers children. This will be between 6.30 -6.45. Jess and Josie will be unable to attend Parent’s evening but their key families are more than welcome to talk to Alison or Chloe or make an appointment to see them another time.

Hope to see you all there!

 

New Buggy sheds

In the next few weeks we will be getting rid of our very well used buggy sheds and getting shiny new ones! However we still have two abandoned buggies in the buggy sheds. One is a black quinny the other is a red chicco.

If these are yours please can you collect them or they will be re-homed when the new buggy sheds arrive.

 

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.
