Berkeley Gardens Day Nursery

🌟Thank you so much to everyone who supported our fundraiser for Berkshire Women's Aid on International Women's Day. We are very pleased to let you know that we raised a wonderful total of £313!🌟

Today is International Women's day and to mark this special event we invited all of our team to wear non uniform for a donation in support of Berkshire Women's Aid (BWA), a charity that provides support, advocacy and refuge to everyone who contacts them that's being subjected to domestic abuse. They provide outreach support, run group programmes, support children and young people and deliver training to other professionals.
If you would like help us raise funds for this charity, please visit our just giving page- https://www.justgiving.com/page/claire-little-1709301478507?utm_medium=fundraising&utm_content=page%2Fclaire-little-1709301478507&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=pfp-share

For World Book Day this year, each room based their theme on their children's favourite book! 😁
The children loved celebrating with us by dressing up as their favourite characters and reading lots of books. 📚

🌟REMINDER🌟 Tomorrow is World Book day and we are inviting everyone to come dressed as a character from their favourite book or in their pyjama's. You may also bring in a book from home, which can be shared during the day with their friends. 🥰

PARENTS: Please note that there are temporary traffic lights outside of the nursery on Berkeley Avenue. These will be in place for the duration of the week whilst Thames Water complete their work. Therefore, this will cause delays when accessing the nursery for the duration of this week. Please ensure that you have enough time to get to nursery for drop off and collection. Many Thanks.

Congratulations to Nelly, who has completed her Level 3 in Childcare! Well done, all your hard work and dedication has paid off 🎉🎉
