Fun in the sun!
Our babies have been making the most of the wonderful weather that we have been having this month. They have really enjoyed taking trips to the park to play on the swings and slide.

Following on from our book of the month, Jack and the beanstalk, our older toddlers did some excellent story telling with each other. They used their toys to act out all the different parts of the story.
Preschool children put their building hats on this month. They got their hands dirty and put all their motor skills to the test to see what they could construct.
Congratulations…
We are very proud to announce that Polly, Aliyah and Molly have all now qualified to level 3.

We often find that staff are staying behind after closing hours to search for lost items, they all work incredibly hard throughout the day and we would like them to get home on time. We would appreciate your support and understanding with this.

Child illnesses: It’s that time of year where we get those lingering illnesses such as the common cold and high temperatures. We all know that children love to explore using their hands and mouths which is why the spread of illnesses is much higher in a nursery environment. We ensure that our nursery environment and toys are cleaned and sterilised regularly but we urge you to make a sensible choice when bringing your child to nursery when poorly. Please remember that you must supply your own Calpol if you want your child to have this at nursery.
