Home Visits-New children starting
We will be making Home Visits this term, if requested.
We have 2 Class reps, one for each room - Acorn & Catkins. Talia Davis with Acorns Class, we need a Class rep for Catkins, give it a go it’s really not too arduous! Primarily, the role is 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, dads’ get together, play dates in the park for the children etc. There’s a ‘Parents Only’ Facebook page, which the class reps monitor.

It would be really helpful to know if you are interested in participating this term, you don’t have to be in on Fridays to attend you can just come along for the activity. If you participated last term, I’ll assume you wish to continue unless you tell me otherwise. If you’d like to try a session before you commit for the term, one session will cost £4.00

Families Saturday Drop-in 14 October - 10.00 to 11.30
All mums & dads, and their nursery child, are welcome to come along to nursery to play. The children really do enjoy “ Mummy and/or Daddy” coming into their nursery. We only offer this once a term so try and pop along. Managers will be collecting names closer to the time.
Monday to Friday - Stay & Play for ALL parents/carers:
If you don’t work you can always come along to a ‘Stay & Play’ session (for an hour or so) when your child is at nursery. If you’d like to, of course, neither events are compulsory! Please speak to Mrs Hastie or Mrs Dighton to arrange a date.
All nursery children will, hopefully, be involved in the performance so please keep the morning free. Although some of our young Catkins may not want to participate, please don’t worry about this there’s always next year. You’ll still be able to watch the performance. Your family are welcome to watch, and sing of course. Coffee, Mince Pies and a Xmas raffle afterwards, in the Church Rooms.
Rehearsal dates – Monday 20 November and Monday 27 November for ALL children. 09.15 at the Church if your child isn’t in on Tuesdays, otherwise normal time and we’ll walk the children over.
