It has been lovely to​​ reconnect with our returning children and​​ hear​​ what they have been up to through the summer.​​ This week we start to welcome our new children and families​​ and start to bond as a group.​​ Please remember to bring in your child’s sun hat to keep at preschool and to freshly apply sun cream before they arrive for their session.​​ The​​ children who stay all day also need a​​ named bottle of suncream to be left at preschool so we can reapply after lunch.​​ We have been making sure the children have been drinking plenty​​ of​​ water,​​ we remind them to drink water from their water bottle​​ throughout the session, they have a drink​​ from a jug in a cup​​ at morning snack time, lunch time and​​ afternoon snack time, and we refill water bottles if needed.​​ The water bottles are there so children can freely access fresh water throughout the day alongside drinks that​​ are served to them.

Please remember to​​ wait OUTSIDE​​ the building​​ in a queue and​​ NOT inside​​ the lobby​​ and a member of staff will come and let you know when it is time to come through.

Scooters And Bikes Must Not Be Ridden​​ into​​ The Building For Health & Safety Reasons.

Please Leave Them​​ Safely​​ Outside of The​​ Preschool Lobby​​ While Collecting Your Child

 

Thank you for your cooperation.
