October 2020
We are having a spooky week full of dress up, face paints and pumpkin filled fun to celebrate Halloween.
Book of the Month
With the evenings getting darker and the moon shining brightly, we will be exploring all things space with our books Goodnight Moon and Whatever Next?
Illness
As we move into cold and flu season we would like to remind you all that children are currently not permitted to attend nursery if they have had any Calpol or other medicine that may disguise a temperature. In addition to this, we understand that children will be picking up more coughs and colds at this time of year, however, in these uncertain times we cannot afford to take any chances and so any child with a persistent cough or temperature will not be allowed to attend nursery until they receive a negative Covid test result. We appreciate that these may just be symptoms of a cold, but we must do our best to keep all of our children and staff healthy, so we ask you to please keep your child at home if they are not well.
Pre School Nativity
As with everything this year we have had to look at an alternative way of performing and filming the nativities. We are still very excited about involving everyone in our Christmas festivities! This includes a solution to ensure all of the children are included. The nursery nativity shows will be recorded and planned in bubble groups and we will ask you to send us videos of your children singing one of the songs at home to include in the final film production. Unfortunately this does also mean that our parents will be unable to attend the nurseries to watch performances.
We’ll send you a customised email telling you which play and song your child will be involved in, along with a link to the music so you can practise at home. The email will also contain a link for you to upload your video file and give consent.
If you have any questions please ask any member of the preschool or office team. We hope you’ll all enjoy being part of this alternative Christmas!
Toys from home
We have seen a slight increase in children bringing some toys in and, although I understand that this may cause some distress, we would prefer that these stay at home. Children can, of course, continue to bring their comforters in but they do need to be washed each evening.
