Sequence Books
15th May 2018
Do you like our new sequence books? These are to enable our children to LEAD their own learning. Staff will support and assist but we want our children to take the lead and to be able to work independently. We will be using these to help us to make our own birthday cakes with our friends. Staff will continue to develop these as new topics and experiences arise. If you would like to borrow one to take home, please see Kerryn.

Parent Training Opportunities
11th April 2018
We have teamed up with Morven Medical Solutions to provide medical training for our staff and parents. We are delighted to be able to offer a half day first aid course for parents/carers. This course will cover Basic Life Support for Adults and Children and will be held on a Saturday or Sunday at KingsWellies Nursery. The date will be confirmed. This course usually costs £45 per person, however Morven Solutions would be happy to charge a discounted rate of £35 per person for the KingsWellies parents. If you are interested in participating in this course, please email Kerryn as soon as possible. Dates and times will then be arranged, depending on the uptake from parents. I am also hoping to book an extremely interesting course on Emotional Literacy for both staff and parents to attend. More information to follow.
