Dear
Parents,
Easter
We
would like to wish you all a Happy Easter.
A
reminder that the nursery will be closed tomorrow (Good Friday) and Easter
Monday but will reopen as normal on Tuesday.
Illness
We
have had a few cases of upset tummies and sickness this week. Just a reminder
that if your child is unwell please keep them away from the nursery until 48
hours after their last case of sickness.
This
is to try and stop the spread of infection.
Building
news
The
doors between babies and Sunflowers will be put in over this bank holiday
weekend. The archway between Babies and Sunflowers will also be filled in this
weekend.
Thank
you for all of your patience during the building work.
Wow
Vouchers
I
have attached one of our wow vouchers for you to fill out. Just jot down any
new achievements that your child has been doing outside of nursery.
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: Settling in 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:
