Harvard Park Day Nursery Feltham April Newsletter 2014. News from the Managers Nicki and Tracey –
Can we please ask parents to make sure that their contact details are all correct including phone numbers, email addresses and home addresses? There are a few occasions where we have been unable to contact parents due to wrong contact details. Thank You. Also, we are sad to say that Gulcan and Sneha will not be returning to Harvard Park after their maternity leave. They have chosen to stay with their babies and we wish them and their families all the best for the future. Important notice and a health and safety notice: Please do not let your children press the buttons to get out of the building these are for parents only! Children will become unaware of safety boundaries that surround this and this can cause them harm. We also want you to be aware of the front door. Do not let your children run towards the front door! Some children are unaware that if this door shuts on them it is going to hurt! It is a safety door and is there to keep our children safe. We will be celebrating Harvard Park’s 6 th birthday on Wednesday 16th April! We have party games and party teas so don’t forget to dress in your party clothes!

We would like to start saying goodbye to Sneha and welcome to Benjamin and Daniel into Baby studio. Our theme for the month is focusing on Physical Development, which is one prime area of the EYFS and development in general. Our activities will focus on developing new and existing skills that our children have. We will be supporting our pre-walkers who are ready to take their first steps alongside experimenting with different ways of moving such as rolling, climbing and jumping using soft play and for the toddlers using the large wooden blocks in the outside area. The toddlers will also be able to learn to use push-a-longs and small tricycles. We will be developing their finer motor skills but doing lots of painting activities using a range of equipment including hands, rollers and stamps. April is going to be a fun filled month for our babies and toddlers as we will be doing and creating Easter masterpieces too! We would like to wish everyone Happy Easter!

Please see News from Carol on an Easter competition we are running! This month we will also be learning about sports and how we need to keep fit through physical activity. This will be incorporated through various games and sporting activities, such as football, basketball, obstacle races and bat and ball play.
