Parent Progress Meetings
31st March 2017
Many thanks to all of those parents who attended our recent progress meetings with staff. These proved to be extremely useful for both parents and staff. Similar meetings will be held annually and twice yearly for our pre-school children. Please remember that you don’t have to wait until parent’s night, you can request a meeting any time. We have an open door policy and are happy to meet with you at your convenience. Look out for our stay and play days in May also (dates to be advised).
Every day is a learning day!
31st March 2017
We have recently developed a new web page which contains lots of helpful leaflets, web links and information for parents on how to support your child at home. We hope that you find this information useful. You can also access our “Question of the Week” on our self-evaluation board in reception. This week we are focusing on Transitions. Please give us your feedback so that we can continue to improve.
Comic Relief
31st March 2017
A HUGE thank you to everyone for your extremely kind and generous donations. We raised a whopping £475.35. Thank you also for attending our sponsored wellie waddle and assault course! We had a great turn out and really enjoyed the challenge.
Drive Carefully
03rd March 2017
Please remember to drive carefully in our car park. It can get very busy at times. The speed limit is 5 miles per hour and we also expect everyone to reverse park. We have had a number of parental complaints about poor and unsafe driving. We will not continue to tolerate this as the health and safety of our children, parents and staff is being put at risk. Thank you.
Parent Helpers
03rd March 2017
We are always looking for parent helpers. If you would like to come in and tell a story, accompany us on a walk or share some skills, please talk to your room supervisor. You are ALWAYS MORE than welcome.
Tempest Photographer

We have booked a photographer from Tempest to come to nursery on 30th and 31st March 2017. This will be an opportunity for your children to have their photographs professionally taken. You will be able to purchase these if you wish through their sale or return option. Tempest have an excellent reputation and are the main photographer used in most schools. More information will be sent home in due course.
Snack Menu Consultation

We are in the process of reviewing our snack menu. We would like your feedback in telling us what your child likes and doesn’t like to eat. Please see our consultation board and questionnaires in reception. We would very much appreciate if you could help us with this review. We will be asking staff and children for their feedback too.
