Newsletter May 2016
General information Farewell This month brings a fond farewell to Cara, who will be leaving us at the end of May to go off on her exciting adventures abroad! We know you will have a fabulous time and I speak for all the staff and children when I say how much we will miss you. Cara will be replaced by Donna who will be joining our team as the new pre-school room leader. Donna is a higher level teaching assistant, currently based in a reception class within a school and is looking forward to starting with us in June. She will be coming in to visit the children and staff throughout the next month. Reminder As it is getting warmer and warmer, please can we remind those of you who haven’t yet paid their sun cream money to pay and sign the permission notice in the rooms. Thank you. Also we would like to remind parents to refrain from using mobile phones whilst in the nursery. This is for Child Protection and Safeguarding reasons. Workshop Thank you to all who attended the parent work shop, we had a great turn out and hope that you found the various information beneficial. If you were unable to make it and you would like to arrange another time to meet with your child’s key person then please talk to your child’s room leader about booking in Website of the month Our website of the month this month is www.crec.co.uk You will find some interesting documents under the research tab including studies into early education. School leavers if your child is leaving for school this year, we will require a 2 month notice period with your leaving dates. Jana will be providing you all with leaving date slips soon. There is also a list on pre-school’s door for you to write down what school your child will be attending so that we can contact them. Security If you have lost your entry card/key fob then please do let us know. Also please remember to bring them with you when collecting/dropping off children to avoid having to wait at the door. Dietary requirements If your child has a dietary requirement and is not coming in for lunch then please could you let us know in the morning so that we do not prepare an unnecessary alternative. Thank you. Garden planting area Our planting area is now ready in the garden. Rea and Kirsty will be spending time with children planting flowers and vegetables. If anyone has any flowers or seeds they would like to donate, this would be fantastic as well as 2 litre clear plastic bottles which we will be up-cycling into planters.
