September Newsletter

September seems to be going so fast with lots going on at nursery. We have welcomed lots of new families and children to the setting and waved goodbye to our pre-schoolers at the end of last month. We have been starting to explore Autumn with collecting blackberries and conkers, watching the leaves fall from the tress and enjoy those last bits of sunshine.

It has been so lovely welcoming parents back onto site. it really brings such a lovely feel back to the nursery and the staff have been able to share more of what the children do with you, as well as you seeing where they grow and play. Please remember we ask parents to wear masks when coming into nursery. Pre-school parents are asked to drop off children at the gate by the pre-school door but to come through the main nursery for collection. Toddlers are to use the main entrance for both drop off and collection and Babies are asked to buzz the camera for entry at the grey door as before. Early drop off slots please come to the main door for drop offs. When coming in for collection we ask that all doors and gates are closed behind you.

Please can we ask again that parents when driving into the nursery from the Saltford direction go around the roundabout and not across the traffic as our neighbours have witnessed near misses with cars doing this. Please also can cars drive slowly out of the drive way in case there are pedestrians walking by.

Please can we remind you to bring in a named water bottle or cup for your little one. We ask that these contain water only and all children bring their own individual cup.
