We have no control over what happens with photos or videos which are not taken by ourselves.

THEME: ‘Back to school’. We will be changing your child into their leaver’s shirts so dress them as normal. Maybe a funky hair style and something resembling uniform.

Messages for those of you leaving: - White t-shirts: Please provide us with a white plain white t-shirt for your child by Wednesday 11 th July. We will be making leaver’s shirts inside the session.

- Please note that only 2 adults per child will be allowed to come and see the concert. This is due to the lack of space and we have to consider everyone’s safety.

- Please ensure you take EVERYTHING with you on your last day. This includes medication such as inhalers, clothes, bags, name cards, art work and all about me boxes!

- Please make sure you are checking you emails. We will be sending out a message about to order or download your child’s EYLog learning journals. After this email has been sent, if you are not sure please come and see Natalie or Amy. Your child’s journal will be active for 2 months after they leave us. After this time period they will be removed from the system.

Health and Safety:

There are a couple of this we need to address: - Please can we request that you do not send your child in open toed shoes or flip flops? We had an accident recently which resulted in a very sore toe. We cannot stop children from running, tripping or dropping things on their feet. Closed in shoes will prevent this from happening.

- Sun hat: please provide a sun hat for your child. We do not have enough spares to share out. Please ensure their name is written inside so these do not go missing.

-Please remember when you enter the building, your child is now your responsibility. Please make sure you are aware of where they are at all times. Please do not let them run away from you whilst outside. We have no control over the gate being locked at this time.
