Diary Dates

Dates for your Diaries – ALL PARENTS      PLEASE MAKE A NOTE OF THESE EVENTS

Term Dates  

Tuesday  21st April    to     Friday 22nd  May (Inset training day 20 April & Bank Holiday Friday 8th May)

 

Half Term - Monday    1st June    to     Friday 17th July 

 

Your room manager will arrange a Home Visit, from either herself and/or child’s keyperson. We know from experience these visits help with the settling-in process enormously and the children bond with the staff quicker.

 

We have 2 Class reps, Catkins & Squirrels-Sarah Pettyfer ( Rose’s mum) & Acorns-Debbie Huntingford, (Vogue’s mum). Their role will, primarily, be to organise social get togethers for you all (only if you want to of course) Maybe for a morning coffee, lunchtime sandwich, evening drink or pizza, play dates in the park for the children etc. There’s a ‘Parent’s Only’ Facebook page, which you may find helpful. Also, the Class Reps, if you need them to, can be a go-between for you and nursery. Some parents/carers might be a little nervous talking to the staff, especially if it's your first time in a school environment. Whereas having another mum to talk to and pass requests, comments, complaints on to us, anonymously or with you name, might be helpful to you. They are there if you need them. Anything you tell the Class Reps will remain confidential from other parents. You can, obviously, speak to any of the nursery staff at any time!
