Queensbury Private Day Nursery

Lost property box 👕

Please take a look in the lost property box at the nursery entrance, there’s a few items in there that may belong to your child

Good afternoon everyone!
Just a quick post about expired suncream as the UV levels are getting higher lately so it's handy to know if you are using any from last year 😊

Starting Reception this September?

Over the next few days we will be sending home a copy of a handy school readiness information sheet.

I've also attatched a link on this post taking you to the best start in life parent hub website with lots about preparing your child for school 😊

As always, any questions just give us a shout we are happy have a chat 📚

It's going to a warm week, please remember sun cream and hat! ☀️

Today we had another very special visit from our nursery Therapy dog, Nancy 🥰

Nancy is a 2 year old Cockapoo who often visits nursery, as well as other settings such as residential care homes due to her having such a loving, calm, gently nature.

She is very little pampered pooch who loves treats, snuggles, playing and being around children and adults is what she loves best.

🐾 We decided to introduce animal visits into nursery a few years back due to each experience having such a positive impact on each child’s learning. They can significantly boost learning by reducing anxiety, increasing motivation, and emotional regulation.

❤️ Having Nancy visit nursery provides a calm presence that helps children improve communication, social skills, build confidence, promote relaxation, focus and develop empathy!

Good morning! ☀️

Here's a link we wanted to share with everyone, this is the NHS best start in life website.

There is lots of trusted health advice and guidance for parents in regards to pregnancy, weaning, early learning and development, taking care of baby and toddler teeth, helping toddlers with their emotions and much more.

There's also a parent hub you can sign up for that guides you through government childcare support schemes and eligibility checker's.

Best Start in Life health advice - NHS Get trusted NHS advice on pregnancy, babies and supporting your toddler's development. Now you can also find out about childcare and education support too!

As we approach the start of a new term, please remember to reconfirm your working parents childcare funding code, this must be done every 3 months via their GOV.UK childcare account to keep it active.

Reconfirmation ensures your 11-digit code (usually starting with 50 or 51) remains valid for 30 hours or other funded childcare.

Missing the deadline can lead to losing eligibility, though a grace period may apply.

If you need help/guidance how to re confirm, we are happy to give you a helping hand 😊
