Good morning our cots to crayons 🖍️, also alongside our fruit and veggies we are also encouraging healthy teeth hygiene.

Our little friend bubbles has been in contact with the tooth fairy she would like for you all to take home a little bag with a timer and a sticker chart, she would like you to brush your teeth once in the morning and once before bed making sure you brush them until your timer runs out.

Once this is completed you may add a sticker to your chart 🌟 once your chart has been completed please bring this back to us, we will then pass it on to bubbles to pass on to the tooth fairy and if your lucky she will bring you a little treat 🦷 🪥 🧚🧚‍♀️ 🤍

We can’t wait to seem them sparkly teeth each morning 😁.

Also each new child will receive a tooth brush and some tooth paste.

Thank you again for your continued support in helping us help your little ones 🥰.

Good morning to all our cots to crayons 🖍️
We are just giving you a little insight to what could potentially be packed for am snack, lunch and pm snack.

For AM we ask for some fruit to help with reaching their target for 7 fruit and veggies a day 🍌🍎🍓🥕,this could be a banana, strawberries, apples etc but we do ask if they could please be sliced to prevent choking.
Also a little pack of cookies, fingers, biscuits or whatever your child prefers just something to keep them going until lunch 😀.

For lunch a main could be a roll, sandwich , a wrap of course this is down to your child’s preference.
A little serving of some more fruit or veggies (sliced carrots, cucumbers or maybe even some sliced peppers). Here we have grapes and strawberries again this is down to child’s preference, we have added a picture to give you a little inspiration on what could be packed.

For Pm snack we ask for something little this could be more fruit if you like or some little biscuits, crackers or a yogurt.

I have added some links for guidance also.
Thank you for your continued support 😀

Good morning, along with fun activities we also would like to do important life lessons.
This activity we will be learning about road safety. 🚦
We have given each child a reflector on their bags which they chose. You can put these on their coats or leave them on their bags, entirely up to you.
