week commencing 24th February

Dear Parents

 

Building news

This weekend the Bluebells floor is being fitted which will make a big difference!

Some of the smaller jobs will also be completed. Next week Hayden will be back with us getting some more bits finished.

All the children will be back in their own rooms on Monday.

 

As the floor is being laid in the bluebells and the office there will be no access to emails or the answer phone on Friday (21^st) afternoon. The phone will be available as normal.

 

Events

 

The fire-fighters visited the nursery on Tuesday and the children had great fun trying on the uniform, sitting in the fire engine and using the hose!

 

Parents Evening is 13^th March from 6.30 -8.30. Pop in at any time to chat with your child’s key person and meet other parents.

 

It’s Mothers’ week from 24^th March. All Mummies can stay and play any day this week.

Pop in any day from 8.45-11 am and 2.30 – 5pm and stay for as long or as little as you would like.

We will also be having a Mothers’ tea party on Friday 28^th March for all the Mummies to come along to from 4pm -5pm

The teams will be able to give you more details about our Mothers’ week

 

Sainsbury’s Active Kids vouchers

We are collecting Sainsbury’s active kids vouchers so we can get some new garden toys. So get everyone you know collecting please!

 

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.
