Concept Photography
Concept photography are returning on October 12th and 13th. Unfortunately, as with everything at the moment, we have taken lots of steps to ensure this takes place in the safest way possible. Unfortunately, this does mean that you cannot pop in for a photo as we have previously allowed, the photography is only available to those that will be attending on those dates. I am sorry to cause any disappointment.
Better Health - Every Mind Matters Campaign
We wanted to draw your attention to a new campaign from Public Health England (PHE) called Better Health – Every Mind Matters campaign. Most families have experienced some upheaval in their everyday lives during the pandemic and so PHE have provided these NHS-endorsed tips and advice to help children and young people’s mental wellbeing and to equip parents and carers with the knowledge to support them. There’s a range of advice from helping children with their return to school, through to sleep advice for younger children. We hope you find this helpful and of course if there is anything you find yourself needing further support with, please do let me (nursery manager) or key person know. You may also be interested in talking to Anna Gent, our Quality and Training Manager who is a trained Norland Nanny with a Maternity Practitioner qualification. She may be able to offer advice on sleep, mealtimes, challenging behaviour and establishing routines. You can #AskAnna in confidence at anna.gent@snapdragonsnursery.com.
Parents Evening
I am pleased that so many of you have been able to sign up for parents evening. Our Preschool team are looking forward to speaking with you this evening. There is still time to sign up for our Baby and Toddler evenings, which are taking place on October 15th (Toddlers) and 20th (Babies) from 6.15pm-8pm.
COVID-19
Our FAQ’s and safer operating procedures are being regularly updated to ensure that we are following all guidance and keeping everyone as safe as we can. Both of these documents can be found on our website Thank you for your continued support it really does mean a lot to us all.
It is important for us to try and minimise the exposure of children to other groups outside of their bubble and so encourage parents to only send their children to one setting if possible. In the event that this is not possible, you will need to complete the below agreement to allow us to monitor a child’s attendance cross-site.
