PLEASE NAME ALL YOUR CHILD’S BELONGINGS
Our children are all settling well and bonding together as a group. They are starting to become familiar with our routines, expectations and boundaries and are building relationships with staff and other children. We are working on independence skills, putting on coats, changing shoes and wellies, and washing hands. We are working with children who are ready for toilet training together with parents, building important self-help skills with the children.
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.
