This month at Atworth…
We’d like to say a big WELCOME to Tristan who has joined us this month and will be working as part of our fantastic toddler team!
Please join us in making him feel as welcome as possible and be sure to say hello when you see him about!
Learning focus…
This month our learning focus is Understanding the World and our book of the month is “The Three Little Pigs”
You can pick up the learning together leaflets “Science all around” and “Young children and technology” from us here at nursery to help continue this learning focus at home.
Our hashtag this month is #snapsworld so don’t forget to look out for this on our social media sites!

Reminders
Session times
The nursery is open from 8:00am to 6:00pm so please can we remind all parents children must be dropped off and collected between the times of their session. Details of which can be found on parent zone or your invoice.
Invoice
Should you need to see an up to date invoice, you can view this through the parent zone portal and request a bill be sent, which will then send a copy of your most up to date invoice to the registered bill payer email address.
Weather
It seems the weather can’t quite make up its mind at the moment and we are having hot and cold days! With this in mind can we please ask parents to provide appropriate clothing for their children, including hats and a named bottle of suncream for when the sun does appear!!
Changes within the nursery
We are aware that sometimes things can change within the nursery and you may not feel that you have the most up to date information. If you ever feel concerned or have ANY queries or questions no matter what, please feel free to pop to the office or drop us an email and we will be more than happy to discuss these with you at any time.
