Christmas Parties

All children’s parties will be held in their own rooms on Wednesday the 5th December. If your child does not attend on the day of the party they are still welcome but parents must attend and take full responsibility for their children. Please, no siblings this year due to the high volume of children already attending the Christmas parties. The parties are from 3.00pm to 4.30pm

Free Early Education Entitlement

FEEE is available to all children the term following their third birthday, for a minimum of 38 week’s per year. This is claimed by the setting and throughout term time only. Each term can vary between 11 and 15 weeks. The funding hours will be shown on your invoice each month. Please do not hesitate to see us in the office if you have any queries regarding your child’s funding.

Christmas 2016 Closing Time

On Friday 23 December the Nursery will close at normal time 6:00pm and we re-open on Tuesday 3rd January 2016 at 8:00am. We wish all our children and parents/carers a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year.

Parents Evening

On Monday 28 November we are holding a Parents Evening between 6.30pm – 8.00pm. All parents are welcome. Closer to the time the staff in each room will post a timetable on the door with your child’s name and their key worker. Just add the time you wish to attend against your child’s name.

Early Morning Risers

We have noticed that an increasing number of parents are arriving very early in the morning. Please note that staff are required to use the time before 8:00am to prep. the day’s activities, therefore they are not permitted to take on the responsibility of your child any earlier than 8:00am, the time nursery is officially open. This is also to comply with Ofsted and insurance requirements.

Children In Need

On Friday 18 November we are inviting the children to come into nursery dressed up to help support Children In Need, we are asking for a minimum donation of £1 per child. The theme this year is ‘Be a Hero’, however, you can dress your child in anything to recognise the day. All donations will be going towards the Warner Brothers Charity. Charity Registration Number: 1164473 (Just4Children) Thank you for your cooperation.

Mobile and Other Recoding Devices

To ensure the safety and welfare of children in our care we operate a personal mobile phone usage policy which stipulates that personal mobile phones cannot be used by parents, visitors or staff when in the presence of children, on the premises. All staff mobile phones are placed on silence or switched off and are kept in their lockers. Staff can only use their mobile mobiles within the restricted (staffroom) area. As a reminder ‘Phone Prohibited’ signs are displayed at the entrance of both nursery and the bungalow premises. A sign is also on display outside the nursery staff room. Our main priority is the safety of your children and we thank you for your co-operation in this matter.

Winter Clothing

As the weather is now cold and wet could you please provide indoor and outdoor shoes. i.e. wellingtons and slippers. Also a warm coat, gloves and a hat so we can keep all the children wrapped up when we go outside to play. Please ensure that all items are labelled with your child’s name. Thank you.
