Lots for Tots Derby @LfTDerby
Welcome to Issue 51... What strange times we live in at the moment. As you probably noticed - there wasn’t a summer issue but we’re glad to be back bringing you the latest news and what’s on for families with children aged under 5. Things are obviously different, but there are still events, groups and classes going on. Some businesses are putting on extra sessions, some are online and some are planning their return! The Lots on Weekly pages contain significantly fewer activities, groups and classes but don’t be sad! There are some lovely ‘COVID Safe’ events planned for Halloween and Christmas, and there are many classes and groups running, but you may need to travel a bit further for them and you will almost certainly need to book. Rest assured, I will be keeping my eyes peeled and will be updating the website and making a noise on Facebook and Instagram as soon as I spot another business or group returning. The next issue will be out in 2021 - so until then I wish you all a Happy Halloween and a Merry Christmas!

The Orange Tree Day Nursery Where Children Blossom The Orange Tree Day Nursery Group consists of four nurseries and originated in March 2013. Jacqui Mason, the founder, has worked and managed nurseries within the childcare sector for 35 years and is driven by her passion to ensure that the children attending her nurseries are lovingly nurtured and provided with the highest quality of early year’s experiences and education. Our people have to be the best and have to be passionate about working with children this is a non-negotiable criteria within our robust recruitment processes. Our motivation is to always maintain an ‘even better if’ approach to everything we do, so our teams and our nurseries never stand still. We are continually setting ourselves goals which will develop our nurseries, our partnerships with parents and the local communities and ultimately the provision provided to our children.
Our passion and commitment to providing only the best early learning experiences for our children can be seen first-hand when visiting our nurseries. The lockdown has provided us with the opportunity to undertake planned developments at our Mickleover nursery. We have created a new art/creative studio for our children aged two to three years and our brand new Early Years unit opens on the 28th of September for our children aged three to five. We would love to hear from you if you would like to make an appointment to visit our Mickleover or Derby Nursery on one of our planned open mornings.

Protect your Child against Flu this Winter It’s more important then ever to access the Free vaccine this Flu season Do I have to pay? No! The NHS offers a free nasal spray flu vaccine to all eligible children in England aged 2 and 3 years old, school children in Reception to Year 7, and those eligible between ages 2-17 years.
How do I access the Flu vaccination? Contact your child’s GP if your child was two or three years old on 31 August and if you haven’t heard from them by early November.
Why should I vaccinate against flu? Flu can be an unpleasant illness and sometimes causes serious complications. Vaccinating your child will not only protect them but it will also stop the spread among vulnerable friends and family.
If your child is at primary school you will need to fill in an electronic consent form. Contact your child’s school for more details.
