Chinese New Year starts on 8th February and we are very excited to celebrate it. 2016 is the year of the Monkey! If you have any ideas or suggestions, please write them in the Home-Link diary. If you would like to come in to speak to us about how you celebrate Chinese New Year or any other special anniversary, please let your room supervisor know.

Home-Nursery Link Jotters
04th February 2016
We hope that you like your new home-nursery link jotter. We welcome ideas, suggestions and comments from you and your child. Please feel free to share ideas for topics, snacks, stories etc. Please also remember to share any exciting weekend news or achievements with us. You can also “cover” the jotter if you like (I used to LOVE doing this when I was at school!) The home-link jotter will supplement and add another element to your child’s digital learning diary (ILD) and Learning Journey folder.
Christmas has arrived at KingsWellies!
03rd December 2015
We had a great day at our free Christmas crèche on 28th November. The children loved decorating the nursery and I am sure that you will agree that they have done an amazing job! Huge thanks go to Halina Miazek and her family for donating our three beautiful Christmas trees from their family forest. The nursery has made a donation to Alzheimer Research in thanks. I also got a HUGE surprise on Saturday when I saw the stunning flower arrangements made by Heather. WOW!

Children in Need and Cash for Kids
03rd December 2015
Many thanks to everyone who recently donated to our pyjama day for Children in Need. Many thanks also to Emma and all at Greenfern Bakery for donating such a beautiful cake. Tegan was delighted when she made the highest bid for it in our silent auction! We raised a total of £170.21 for this extremely worthwhile cause. We also raised a whopping £116.92 for Coats for Kids through our recent bake sales. Many thanks for all of your kind donations. Ailsa, one of our lovely trainees, has baked a beautiful gingerbread house which we are raffling for Christmas. Donations will also go towards Cash for Kids. You will find the gingerbread house and raffles in our reception area. Thanks Ailsa! We are also collecting gifts for Northsound 1 Mission Christmas. Our gift donation boxes are outside each playroom. We are asking for gifts for less-fortunate children aged from birth to 18 years old. A list of gift suggestions is displayed above each box. Please help us make Christmas special for all children.
