Harvard Park Pre- School LTD.
Notes from the management team: With the restrictions being lessened and we are being encouraged to be outside more, please remember the COVID-19 symptoms. If anyone has a new or continuous cough or temperature please stay at home and inform us. If your child’s cough has not disappeared after a week - please seek medical advice. We cannot stress this enough - if our staff go sick, we have no cover and we will have to close the nursery. If your child is unwell - do not send them in to us, keep them at home! If your child comes to nursery and they are coughing all the way through breakfast time, please expect a call to come and collect them. It is not fair for the child, the children at the setting and our staff members. When you are picking up your child who has been away from you all day, please put your phone away while waiting to collect your child. It is disheartening for your child when you don’t greet them in the same way they great you. Please put the phone away and speak to your child about their day, it will boost their self-esteem and self-confidence.

Harvard Park Pre- School LTD.
Notes from your Pre-School Teachers: Jeanna, Eva, Lucy, Sima, Roshelle, Kirandeep, Carmela and Tanya: Focus: Transitions and Summer Holidays We would like to officially welcome Carmela to our team! We are continuing to work on our transitions to school or school nursery with those who will be leaving us this year. At home you can help support us and your child by going to visit the outside of their school so they are aware of the new route they will be taking, purchasing or looking at their new uniform together and talking to them about what they will be doing at their new school. You can also access the documents from the London Borough of Hounslow we have been sending out via ParentMail, Facebook or the EyLog. They are titled Getting ready for School and have some great advice in there as parents. After we com back from half term on Monday 7th June, we will being looking at holidays and sun awareness. We will set up role play such an airport or train station and encourage children to engage in activities such as creating their own passport and tickets. We will be talking about the sun and ways we can protect ourself from the sun and the heat. We will be filming a small graduation concert however this will be for the children only. At this time due to Covid Restrictions and our policies in place, parents will not be allowed to attend however it will be filmed and added to your child’s USB when purchasing the EyLog Memories. (Children who are leaving us). This is also a request from us: please can you avoid bringing in toys from home. When they are lost, it causes a lot of upset. They are NOT our responsibility to look after so please take them with you when you drop off your child. Targets to work on @ home To help support with your child’s transition to their new school, involved your child in the process. Allow them to choose their new lunchbox or pencil case, take them to buy their new uniform, walk them to their new school gates so they are aware of the route and talk to them about the changes they may face. Support your child’s development in math's by counting, learning about shapes and colours on their way to pre-school. See what bus numbers you can find or have a look at how many cars drive past your and count them together. Also have a look at the changes in the season, flowers start to grow, tree’s becoming green and mini-beasts flying around!
Bangles and Bracelets: Please do not send your child in jewellery such as necklaces, bangles or bracelets unless there is a religious reason for this. They pose a health and safety risk to the child and we are not responsible if they break or are damaged while the child is at pre-school. If it is not a religious item - please do not send your child in with it. Thank You. Please remember to label all children’s belongings especially if they are new! Children will have the same bags, coats, jumpers etc. Just a small set of initials on the label inside will be perfect. It will prevent things from going missing.
Dates for you diary and reminders: We are closed From Monday 31st May to Friday 4th June. We are back to preschool on Monday 7th June 2021. Our last day at pre-school for the summer holidays will be Friday 16th July.
