week commencing 26th May

Dear Parents

 

We still have the sickness bug going around, it’s affected both staff and children. Please be aware that if your child is ill they will need to be kept away from the nursery for 48 hours after their last bout of sickness. This is to stop the infection spreading to everyone else.

 

We are missing a blue Marks and Spencer’s cardigan with white spots. If you have taken this home by mistake please can you return it to Sunflowers.

 

Sunflowers are also collecting wrapping paper tubes, kitchen roll tubes and empty toilet rolls, if you have any of these at home please can you bring them in for us?

 

Questionnaires

The Parent and staff questionnaires have been returned. Thank you to everyone who took part. I will be going through these and will let you know the results soon.

 

The Farm

We had a lovely time with the farm.

 

 

 

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.
