December Newsletter 2025


Our teaching toolkit theme of the month is:

Develop a love of book and story- To be enthralled, engaged and enquiring.
Experience with music song and dance- To be joyful, exuberant and confident.


We have had a very busy December. The children and staff have got into the festive spirit and decorate our big Christmas tree with some wonderful paper chains and bauble decorations. The children have also been busy making some lovely Christmas crafts they can take home. We have also enjoyed a wonderful Christmas dinner cooked by our wonderful chef Terri, and the kitchen assistant Lottie, which all the children and staff enjoyed very much, it was safe to say we were all full up that day! Thank-you to those families that made it to our Christmas party, it was so lovely to see so many families and we hope you enjoyed the activities and the exciting visit from the man himself…. Father Christmas! Here are some lovely photos from the month of December.


Reminders:

  • If you would like to collect your child’s art work to take home, please ask a staff member as we have art folders for each of the age groups.

  • On Famly, you are able to update your own contacts for your children, as well as adding photos on for any people who may collect your child. Please can we ask that you check your child’s information and update your contacts/collection list, so that we have an up to date list of any people that may come and collect your child. To add a password, which we do need, please can we ask that you write this in the information section on each contact.
    If you need any support with this, please ask on the desk and we will be happy to assist you. On Famly, you are also able to update your child’s permissions, so please can we ask that you do this so again we have the most up to date information.

  • All parents will be sent their child’s Parent Zone photos in January if your child has been at Snapdragons whilst we used this platform. This is a big task, so please bear with us whilst we do this as it may take us a little bit of time.

  • The nursery will reopen on Friday 2nd January 2026.
