Paskals Day Nursery Ltd - Laurel Terrace

This is some really good news for parents of children starting reception in September 🥰

📣More families can get Free School Meals from September 2026!

From Monday 1 September 2026, all families receiving Universal Credit will be eligible for Free School Meals for their child/children.

⭐What support is available?
All children from households receiving Universal Credit will now receive a free school meal.

Families receiving Universal Credit with annual household earnings of £7,400 or less will also continue to qualify for additional support including:
• Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme
• ‘Extended rights’ element for school travel assistance
• Additional funding for schools through pupil premium

⭐Receiving Universal Credit but not currently getting Free School Meals?
You may now be eligible under the new rules. Apply now to make sure your child can access Free School Meals from September 2026.

⭐Already getting Free School Meals?
If your child already receives Free School Meals and your circumstances have not changed, you do not need to do anything. We will automatically check eligibility over the summer and let your school know if your child remains eligible from September.

⭐Universal Infant Free School Meals
All children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 will continue to receive universal free school meals. However, you should still apply for means-tested free school meals if you are eligible because the school may then get important funding.

🦷✨ Healthy Smiles Start Early! ✨🦷

At our nursery, we are passionate about promoting good oral health habits from a young age. That’s why we run our very own Toothbrushing Club, helping children learn the importance of brushing their teeth twice a day and caring for their smiles.

Our daily toothbrushing sessions encourage:
🪥 Good oral hygiene habits
😁 Healthy teeth and gums
🌟 Independence and self-care skills
🍎 Understanding the importance of healthy choices

Did you know? Children should brush their teeth twice a day, use fluoride toothpaste, and visit the dentist regularly to help prevent tooth decay.

🌈✨ Promoting Equality & Diversity at Paskals Day Nursery ✨🌈

At Paskals Day Nursery, we believe every child deserves to feel valued, respected and celebrated for who they are.

We create an inclusive environment where children learn about different cultures, traditions, abilities and family backgrounds through play, stories, experiences and meaningful conversations. By embracing diversity from an early age, we help children develop kindness, understanding, confidence and respect for others.

Every child is unique, and we are proud to provide a nurturing space where everyone belongs and every voice is heard. ❤️

Together, we are helping to build a generation that celebrates differences, shows empathy and understands that our diversity makes us stronger.

🌍 Everyone is welcome
🤝 Every child matters
📚 Inclusive learning opportunities
❤️ Respect, kindness and belonging for all

💜 New Support for Families & Carers – Coming Soon! 💜

Thanks to funding from Doncaster Council through the Community Co-ordination Grant, SEN frienDs will soon be launching additional support for local families and carers.

The project will include:

✨ Monthly 1:1 support appointments during SEN frienDs sessions

✨ Help with DLA, benefits and financial support

✨ Information, advice and signposting

✨ Help accessing local services and opportunities

✨ Practical guides, resources and tools available through our website

✨ Support from people who understand the challenges families can face

We know that sometimes the hardest part is knowing where to start. While SEN frienDs specialises in supporting SEND families, we operate a No Wrong Door approach. If you need support but aren't sure where to turn, our door is always open and we'll do our best to help connect you with the right people, services and opportunities.

Whether you're looking for answers, support, or simply don't know where to begin, we're here to help.

Keep an eye on our page for updates and launch information!

Thank you to Doncaster Council for funding this project through the Community Co-ordination Grant.
