Pre-school Sports Day
We hosted a Pre-school sports day this month. The children had so much fun taking part in different races and some of the staff and parents got involved too!
Reminders
Please can we ask that any items of clothing, comforters and water bottles are clearly labelled with your child’s name on, this helps us to keep a track of anything that belongs to your child.
The children's health and safety is paramount to us and the car park can be a busy place, especially during some parts of the day. Please can we remind all parents that children should be supervised in the car park at all times to ensure they are kept safe and we ask that you do not leave your car running while waiting to ensure clean air for all our children.
There are some common forms, such as our Pre-existing Injuries form available on our website. We understand sometimes that the mornings can be a rush, so please feel free to print out and complete before you arrive if its easier.

A little help..
One of our families has reached out and asked if anyone might be interested in a nanny-share whilst they wait for their child to begin nursery. They are based in the Widcombe area but also attend Weston so looking for someone in those areas. If this is something you may be interested in, please let us know in the office and we can let you know the details.
