** Parent / Carer Notice **
Due to Kingfisher School restarting their afterschool clubs, we will no longer be able to allow cars into the car park for all 4:00pm collections due to the safety of all children. Please park on the hill and walk down to the nursery. The school gates will open at 4:30 as usual,

Thank you for your understanding

Dear Parents and Carers

We hope you are all enjoying the summer holidays and just wanted to share some information with you,
Anyone who is calming NEG funding from September who has not yet given us their code please do so as soon as possible. If your funding is not claimed by nursery by the end of August they will not receive funding for the term.
There will be a few changes to allowances in lunch boxes from September. We are asking that no child is provided with Fruit Shoot style drinks, your child will be offered water or their juice bottle refiled by us. We will continue to offer the children their sandwich, fruit and yogurt first and then any additional items you may have provided. Please remember no chocolate bars, chocolate mousse / yogurts and no peanuts or nuts of any kind. We are following Medway's advice on what a "healthy" lunch box consists of.
We hope you can all understand why these changes have been made and we would like to thank you for your continued support.

** School Leavers **
If you have been given your child's School Transition form could you please return it as soon as possible as they need to be posted to your child's school.
If you have not yet received it, don't worry I will be sending them out this week

The photographer has given me slips to hand out next week which directs you where to go to view your child's photo and how to order. Once I have conformation from him that the photo's are available to view, I will hand out the slips
