Dear
Parents,
We
had some fantastic news from Emma earlier in the week that Holly is in
remission! We are thrilled that she is making such good progress. Holly will
continue to undergo her maintenance treatment over the coming months.
Menu
Our
Spring/Summer Menu’s will be in place from the 22nd April. I have
attached a copy for you all to see.
Easter
We
are all looking forward to celebrating Easter next week. The children and staff
will be taking part in an exciting Easter Egg hunt on Wednesday!
A
reminder that the nursery will be closed on Good Friday and Easter Monday but
will reopen as normal for the rest of the Easter.
Policies
of the week
We
will be displaying a different policy every week in the hallway and on our
blog: http://castlenursery-southhill.blogspot.co.uk
(you may have to cut and paste this link).
If
you would like to see this or any of our policies please ask Caroline.
Our Policy this week is: Key person policy
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.
For
more information on the Early Years Foundation stage, the guidance we use to
support our planning and practice, please visit:
