Summer Outing – Animal Farm Adventure Park

We had a lovely day at the farm and it was great that so many of you were able to come along. We are putting together a book with all the photos Andrew took and some drawings the children are doing.  If you would like any of the photos of you or your child please talk to Emma or Andrew and we can give you a copy.

Transfer documents and Folders

All children’s folders have now been passed to their new schools.  Schools will give you the folders back along with their records at the end of the foundation stage and these will be a record of their achievements in nursery and reception.

Holiday Sessions

Please remember to put the money in an envelope on the day that you either book or come in for a holiday session.  If your child is leaving during August and you owe any holiday sessions please leave the payment before you go. If you are on holiday during August don’t forget to put your holiday days up for sale in the holiday book.

Nursery Education Grant

All children who are 3 years old by 31^st August are entitled to up to 15 hours funded sessions from September. We will put a note on the notice board stating how much you are entitled to depending on the number of sessions your child attends each week.  You will shortly receive a claim form for funded sessions.

Session Changes

At this time of year we have quite a few children leaving us to start school and also many new children starting at the nursery.  If anyone would like additional sessions now is a good time to grab them before we fill up!  Please speak to Emma or Andrew.

After School Club

We are considering having a small after school club at the nursery for our nursery leavers who will be attending Golden Valley School.  If you would be interested in a place please talk to Emma or Andrew.
