Summer 2024

 Dear Parents/Carers,

 

Welcome to the summer term, we hope you have had a lovely break! Welcome to our new parents, we hope to have a long and happy association with you.

 

We are very excited to now have a new kitchen! The children will now be able to participate in cooking activities, they have already requested to make pizza.  

We hope you join us in extending a warm welcome to a new member of staff, Ella, who will be with us on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

We are still promoting our unique me display, if you have not yet brought in a baby photo of your child, we’d love to have one. The children love to look at each other’s baby photos, they can often tell which photos are their friends!

As the weather begins to warm the children will need a sun hat and have sun cream applied before they arrive at preschool, we can reapply during the day as needed using a named bottle provided by you, please hand these to a member of staff to be signed in.

 

It is really important that all of our children are safe, considering this please remember we are a nut free environment (this includes products labelled as may contain nuts) so take care to check ingredients on packets in lunch boxes. Please ensure all lunchboxes are on the trolley and only spare clothes and changing resources are in the children’s bags. As the weather turns hot, we feel it would be advisable to pop a cold pack in your child's lunch box as we have limited fridge space.

As numbers are very high this term, we respectfully ask that just one family member brings the children into the setting, this will hopefully reduce the bottle neck at the entrance. We are considering using a separate exit for parents to leave, we will let you know in due course.

From September our hours are changing, families that are with us for the Autumn term will be provided with information in a separate letter.

As always you can reach us via WhatsApp this is the preschool mobile number 07745 286891.

About us

Book sharing scheme

All of our children participate in our book sharing scheme. Please could you encourage their love of reading by sharing their book and reminding them to bring their book bag in to preschool to swap the books they have borrowed.

spare clothes

Please remember to pack spare clothes for your children, they love to engage in messy play and sometimes need to change their clothing. If your child comes home in our spare clothing, please could you wash and return them.

letters of the week

Ask your child what the letters of the week are and ask them to find a toy that begins with them.
