Dear
Parents
Ofsted
We
had an unannounced Ofsted inspection on Monday. Thank you very much to those
parents who spoke or sent an email to the inspector.
We
have to wait a few weeks for the report to come back to find out our official
results so fingers crossed!
As
soon as we get the report I will email you all a copy.
Environmental
Health
We
also had an unannounced Environmental Health inspection and received 5 stars
for the third time in a row!
Funding
forms
The
funding forms for the Summer term are going out this week. If this is the first
time we have claimed for your child we need to see a passport of birth
certificate please.
All
new children will receive an information pack about the funding but if you have
any questions please let me know.
Children’s
door Bell
Following
a great parent suggestion, we now have a new working doorbell for the children
to use.
Useful
websites:
Here
are the links for the Surrey Family Information Service, Free Early Education
(the 15 hours funding) and Free Early Education for Two year olds.
Menus
The only change to this week’s menus is Mondays
tea, which will be a St Patrick themed dinner!
If you
would like to see a copy of our allergens menu at any time please ask!
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:
