Week commencing 24th June

Dear Parents

 

Nursery news

Dennis our handy man is with us next week decorating the baby garden and hallway and finishing putting up our new blinds!

 

Invoices

If you currently receive your monthly invoices by post you can have them sent to you via email, just let me know. Extra session invoices will continue to be given out by hand.

Please can you make sure all standing orders are set for the beginning of the month. Fees are due on the 1^st of every month.

 

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.
