week commencing 10th February

Dear Parents

 

Building update

This weekend (Saturday 6^th) Haydon will be knocking out the new bluebells room. This will mean on Monday that the walls and floor may not look the best but will be safe for the children to be around.

Next week he will continue his work on the cot room and the following weekend he will be finishing the building work in the Bluebells room by adding new cupboards and a new sink.

 

Thank you for your patience at this time, it will be fantastic when it is all complete. As always if you have any questions or concerns just let me know.

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.
