PLEASE NAME ALL YOUR CHILD’S BELONGINGS
It was great to see everyone at our Progress Day to discuss each child’s progress.
It is very important that we work together to help your child develop the skills they will need to settle in and progress in their school lives. On Monday we welcome Sankara who joins us for one week as a work experience student.
Remember Friday 4th April is our last day of term. We close for the Easter Break and
return on Wednesday 23rd April.
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.
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
