PLEASE NAME ALL YOUR CHILD’S BELONGINGS

 

Remember normal Pre-School is closed this Tuesday March 25th for our Progress Day and you will see your child’s Key-Person to discuss their progress. Refreshments are available and toys are out for the children to play, it is a good opportunity to stay and play and meet other parents and children. More information will follow nearer the time.

There will be some new photo boards and an information board about preparing your child for going to school in September. It is very important that we work together to help your child develop the skills they will need to settle into their new school lives

 

You can see our photo board in the lobby showing the children developing their self-help skills by putting on their wellies and other physical skills. There is lots of information on the board detailing the importance of Independence skills and physical development for children’s development.

Please don’t forget your snack/messy play donation item or payment as we rely heavily on these throughout the week, and they help to keep our fees down. Please check the list on the board in the hall if you have forgotten which item you have signed up for.

Please make sure you are bringing in the items you signed up to on the snack and consumables list, so we have items to serve the children at snack time…. Thank you.

A reminder to everyone that no food containing Nuts, sweets or chocolate must be put in children’s lunches.

Please clearly name all items belonging to your child, coats, bags, shoes, lunch bags, water bottles and uniform.
