Hints and Tips for Parents/Carers

Having a change of clothing is helpful as the children have such a lot of fun making a mess, puddle jumping, painting, exploring with water etc.

For the wet days having wellies, warm jacket and soon as the weather grows colder gloves, hat, scarf. Please label your childs items and cheaper ones are better as sometimes children get upset, if they lose favourite ones. Socks are also handy as they often get wet.

Remember the children get snack mid morning and also mid afternoon. At lunchtime we can offer milk/water as this can help to make things easier for you. Please could you cut the grapes in half to prevent choking.

Please can you remember NOT to put in anything in lunch boxes that contain nuts, we have a couple of children with severe allergies to nuts and we want to keep them safe. It is a big concern to parents and staff, and we will welcome your support.

If you need to speak to any member of staff in the nursery, we are always happy to arrange a suitable time, keeping us all safe.

We are learning about...........

The children are aware of the change to the weather, how it is getting colder and darker at night. In the garden we have been collecting leaves to help us complete some autumn activities. We are thinking about animals in our environment that hibernate and why they go to sleep for the winter.

This week has also seen us discuss fireworks and being safe, we have made some amazing pictures with leaves, and paint. We have an outside gallery which is on the side of the shed beside the drop off door. There is also a lovely range of pictures of the children having fun in the garden, the colours are stunning and of course our beautiful children.

16th Nov

The children have enjoyed a story about robots, and wish to explore that by making various robots, thinking about how they work and what they do for us. This can also be a great opportunity to discuss shapes and colours using junk modelling. The children have some magnificent ideas to find out about and explore.

Christmas will be coming upon us before we know it, so the children will be learning new makaton signs to go with rhymes. This is super for building their vocabulary and confidence to communicate in various ways.

Our Stars

Each child will get to be star at some point in the year. The children get a chance to tell us why they think their friends are star of the week, which we write on the certificate. Do ask them about the song we dance to! The children and staff are excellent dancers and have lots of fun.

The wind was blowing our shelter

The children had great fun running and catching the billowing top.

This was us taking a minute to remember 11th Nov at 11am

We are having a wee chat in our shelter.

How I feel!

The children have contributed in lots of different ways, drawings, models, talking and listening.

During story time we think about how characters feel and how we may feel in their shoes.

Learning to name emotions and how others feel is key to developing good social and communication skills.

News updates

Christmas Parties were brilliant and all the children looked amazing and all had a great time.

Hamper Raffle raised about £200. It was won by Jehosheba and Tosia, well done and thanks for all the support.

Christmas lunch was delicious and staff ate, with the children, who were amazed that teachers eat!!

We also had play dates for our new starts in January coming in to see us also the parents meeting staff. If you see any new faces at collection or drop offs, I am sure they would be delighted to feel welcomed by you. As parents are wearing masks it is really difficult to smile at one another.

Please check your emails for any updates for current openings in 2021, due to COVID19.
