Today we delivered Risk Assessment training to a lovely nursery team. We worked through the 5 steps to risk assessment, identified hazards and how to minimise risk, used real case studies to explore how risks could have been mitigated and considered the importance of staff deployment, team work and communication. Really enjoyed delivering this and I know the team will use this new knowledge to make a great impact on their setting.

What a BEE- autiful suprise!🐝
One of our childrens family members brought us a very sleepy bumble bee!
The children were very intregued so we all sat down quietly to have a discussion on bees and learnt that there are lots of different types of bees and they collect pollen from flowers and make yummy honey that we can eat!🍯
We learnt that sleepy bees sometimes need our help and we can do this by getting a small spoon of sugar water to help wake them up and they will be able to fly off to find more flowers in no time!😁
At circle time we will be reading every bees birthday to continue our interest further!

UPDATE: After some refreshing sugar water, Mr Bumble has flew off πŸ™ŒπŸΌ

21/05/2023

🌞 PARENT NOTICE 🌞

With temperatures set to rise this week, could I please ask that sun cream is applied and sun hats are packed in bags to enable us to enjoy the beautiful sunshine.

If your child is in all day, please apply sun cream before they arrive at nursery and pop it in their bags so we can top it up after lunch or when needed. For children who are only half a day, please apply before your children arrive for their session morning or afternoon session.

Could we also ask that a spare pair of clothes are also packed in your child's nursery bag. During sunnier spells, water play is often available outside.

Thank you

This will follow on from an exisiting interest that the children have had this term. We are all super excited to see what animals they will bring.

Please note - we have had to go with a date and time that is best suitable for the Animal Man.

We may have a few spaces available so if you would like to put your child on the reserve list, please speak to Jess.

SEPTEMBER REQUIREMENTS, GRADUATION & 30 HOURS

Good afternoon everyone, I hope you have all had a lovely extended weekend celebrating the King's Coronation. We have heard lots of exciting stories this morning and it sounds like lots of fun has been had by all.

As most of you are aware, the time is fast approaching and we are now less than 12 weeks away from breaking up for the Summer holidays and bringing another exciting academic year to a close. Most of you have already told me about your requirements for September which is brilliant. We are so pleased that so many of you are returning in September for another year full of fun and excitement. If you haven't yet let me know, please consider doing so at your earliest convenience to avoid disappointment. This also applies to any of your family and friends who wish to enrol their children for the upcoming academic year.

If your child is 3 in the next 16 weeks, you can now apply for additional funding via the link below. The requirements include both parents (if you live together) working a minimum of 16 hours per week in order to receive this additional funding. When you receive this code, send it over and let me know of any increase to your child's hours you wish to make.

https://www.gov.uk/30-hours-free-childcare

This year, we will be holding another Graduation party in the garden on Thursday 20th July from 4:45pm for all of our children. Even if your child is staying with us in September, you are welcome to join us in celebrating a successful year with some yummy cake. There will be opportunity to take photos with your child's key worker which has always been a popular request from parents of children who are heading off to school. There will also be an end of year celebration video posted towards the end of July which can be found on Facebook (make sure you have tissues)

Our end of year party will be held on Friday 21st July and end of year reports will be live and published on Tapestry by Friday 14th July.
