May has been a busy month… we can’t believe it is nearly over! The weather is still a bit hit and miss at the moment, so please continue to send children in coats, as well as hats, suncream etc; Please can we remind parents to label all items as children often have the same belongings.

Thank you to all our families over the last few weeks regarding mine and Hannah’s promotions within the company. We are looking forward to our new roles and will continue to keep you all updated, including when we appoint someone for Hannah’s current role.

Thank you so much to all the parents that came in for our easter egg hunt last month. It was so lovely having you back into nursery for events!

On Tuesday 31st May we will be having a street style party in the garden from 3pm onwards, with activities and picnic food. This is open for children who attend this session and we would love parents to join us if possible! We would love to see the children dressed in Royal attire on this day.

We will be celebrating the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee all next week, with a range of different activities taking place. We are open on Thursday 2nd and Friday 3rd June for the bank holidays, so please just drop us an email if your child won’t be attending these sessions.

Signs of the month

Father’s Day is approaching on the 19th June. On Monday 20th June on drop off in the morning, the kitchen will be serving bacon rolls between 8am-9am for Dad’s dropping off their children.

Pre-school parents

That time is nearly upon us now with Children moving to school. During Term 6 children will start having settling sessions at their new schools, and we have already started to have some teachers in to visit.

Please let Pre-school know if you haven’t already said which school your child will be going to so we can start to prepare our transition documents and liasie with the schools.

Warleigh Lodge Farm Trip

Our annual Warleigh Lodge Farm trip for our school leaver children is back this year! After having to postpone this for the last few years due to covid, we are so excited it is taking place again. We will be going on Monday 13th and Wednesday 15th June in the mornings. We will be organising the children into two groups depending on their sessions, so will be in contact with more details of slots etc; We will be getting to the farm via coach. Snapdragons will be paying for the trip, however we will be asking for £10 per child to contribute to the cost of the coach. This will be added to children’s invoices who attend.
