Dear
Parents and Carers
ILD’S
If
your child is leaving don’t forget you can print their ILD’S, including the
photos.
Unfortunately
you can’t save the videos.
The
ILD’S will be accessible for a month after your child leaves. After this time
we will archive them.
Don’t
forget to look at the ILD’S regularly as they are a great way of seeing your
child’s progression and development as well as the fun they have at nursery.
You
can also add your own notes, observations and photos.
I
apologise that there are not as many observations this week as normal, there
has been some app updates and these have meant that the ipads have been out of
action for a little while.
Term
Dates
The
last day of term is Tuesday 21st July
Term
starts again on Wednesday 2nd September
Please
be aware that the funding does not start until 7th September.

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.
