week commencing 15th September

Dear Parents

 

Impetigo

We have two confirmed cases of Impetigo in the baby room.

This is an infectious skin condition that requires antibiotics so you will need to take your child to the doctor.

To stop the spread of the condition children with impetigo are not allowed into nursery until 48 hours after they have started their antibiotics.

 

Events

We have lots of exciting events coming up so get out your diaries!!

Breakfast club

Breakfast club has now started! If you would like to take advantage of our early drop off time of 7.45 just ask.

It costs £2.50 per session and can be booked on a regular basis or as ad hoc sessions. We need 24 hours notice for breakfast club.

 

Menus

There are no planned changes to this week’s menu.

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.
