Harvard Park Day NurseryFeltham October Newsletter 2013. News from the Managers Nicki and Tracey –We are going to start a new term with a healthier mind frame. We know when your child is celebrating birthdays or leaving its nice for them to bring something in for friends. Instead of sweet treats or party bags we would like you to think of a healthier alternative such as a bag of apples, raisins or a book. Write a message inside the book and we can print off a picture of your child and talk about who gave us the book at group times. We can still have cakes as it is nice to celebrate birthdays Please remember to be on time when picking up your. If your child does a morning session pick up time is 12:50am leaving time for feedback, and same goes with 5:50pm if they are afternoon or fulltime. We will charge you if you are late! News from Deputy Carol-Hi thank you to everyone who has brought in their unwanted newspapers and junk (yoghurt pots, cereal boxes, material) etc please continue to do so…this plays a big part in your child’s development. Please encourage your children to walk to nursery or take a scooter as we have lots of buggies in the lobby. Children in Freedom Zone should be discouraged to use the buggy as they are very capable of walking. If we get anymore we will have to start asking parents to take them with them.
