School Leavers!
School Places: You should now have all received an allocated school for your child. You will need to ring the school to accept this place. Congratulations to those of you who got your first choices! 😊
Hoodies: Thank you to everybody who has brought in money for the school leaver hoodies. We are going to put the orders in ASAP and we should receive them by July.

Save The Dates:
STATTOO – Monday 13th June 2022: Stattoo will be coming in to take some pictures of the children, you will have all signed a permission slip regarding this. We won’t tell you too many details, as it’s a surprise!!! They will be here on the day between 9:30-10AM. If your child does not attend that day, please bring them in for this time – it will only take a couple of minutes. Thank you!
GRADUATION PARTY – Tuesday 23rd August 2022: More information regarding the graduation party to come soon, but all school leavers are invited! 😊
Suncream and Sun Hats
As the warmer weather is nearing, please can we ask that you bring a named bottle of sun cream and a sun hat for your child to nursery. If you wish you can leave them at the setting so, you do not have to remember each time and they can be used as and when they are needed.
GENTLE REMINDERS:
- If you would like in-depth feedback regarding your child after their session, please can you ensure you arrive at least 5-10 minutes before the end of their session as we close at 6. 8AM/1PM depending on the session is the earliest you can come and 1PM/6PM is the latest you can pick up.
- We supply fresh drinking water and milk throughout the day to your child. However, it might be easier for you to bring in a named water bottle for your child to access throughout their session and more covid-safe for them also.
- At nursery, we plan lots of fun and exciting activities and experiences for your child. This might mean that your child’s clothes can get messy, because of this we would recommend putting old clothes or clothes you will not mind getting dirty or stained on your child. Please may we also ask that you provide a set of spare clothes in your child’s bag. Thank you.
- Please can we remind you – If your child receives 30-hour funding, you will need to re-confirm EVERY 3 months. If not, you could lose the funding
