PLEASE NAME ALL YOUR CHILD’S BELONGINGS

 

​​ 

Please make sure your child has sun cream applied before leaving them at Pre-School, we will apply more cream after lunch for those staying all day.

The photo orders have now been sent off and we await their return soon.

You can see our board in the lobby showing all the skills that will help your child be ready for school. It is really important that you work on these skills at home so they practice them both at Pre-School and at home. These skills will help make a smooth transition to
school for them.

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.

Scooters And Bikes Must Not Be Ridden into The Building for Health & Safety Reasons

Please Leave Them Safely Outside of The Pre-School Lobby While Collecting Your Child

DATES FOR YOUR DIARY
