Clover Court


 
Thank you

Congratulations to the preschool team for holding their first transition meeting for parents with children starting in September. They all worked very hard to put together a fantastic meeting which was enjoyed by all.
A Quote from a parent who attended
‘Thank you so much for taking the time to stay on tonight to talk to us about making the transition to preschool. It was evident that you had all put in a great deal of effort and it was very much appreciated.  It was really informative and useful to know what …… will be experiencing and how we as parents can support him in making this change. Huge congratulations to you all on a brilliant first transition meeting’
 Photographer coming to Clover Court
We have organized a photographer to come to Clover Court please read below…. If you would not like your child to have their photo taken please let a member of staff know.
Sarah White Photography
My name is Sarah and I run my own business specialising in nursery & family portraiture. I shall be at your nursery on 9 & 10 October to take pictures of your children.
Approximately a week after the shoot you will receive a proof card with a thumbnail photo of your child and your own unique password. (Please note all proof cards are printed on my home printer for speed and security, all images ordered however are produced externally by a professional lab.)
The proof card gives you my website address and advises you how you will be able to access your album of images using your unique password. Please allow pop-ups as it can hinder you viewing the website properly. If you wish to place an order, you can choose from prints, print packages, canvases, acrylics and CDs etc. All orders will be despatched to your home address unless you stipulate otherwise.
Your album will be up until after Christmas, after which time the albums will be removed and kept securely for 12 months after which time all images will be destroyed.
Any queries, please do contact me on info@swhitephotography.com.  Thanks!
 Pirate Day
The children have expressed an interest in pirates within nursery and preschool. To develop this we have decided to hold a Pirate Day on the 12th September and ask children to come in fancy dress. The children will be creating a treasure chest to hold our gold, making pirate ships and pretending to sail our ships and find our treasure.

Front door
Please ensure when leaving the nursery you have closed the front door behind you. This is for the safety of all the children.

Reminders
Transition meeting – 21st August
If your child is due to join preschool on the 3rd September, please let us know if you are attending the preschool transition meeting being held on the 21st August at 1815pm. This meeting will enable you to come and look around the environment, meet the practitioners and you will have an opportunity to listen to how your child’s learning and development will be extended.
Parents Evening – 6th September
We are holding a Parents Evening on the 6th September, this will give you the opportunity to meet with your child’s key person and discuss their development. There will be a list of times available for you to come and talk to your child’s key person. You will find the list situated on the parents notice board within your child’s room.
We do ask that children do not attend this event
Lost Property
We have had some feedback with regards to our blog and one of the ideas that has been given as feedback was to have a lost property section. Please could I advise everyone to ensure you name as much property as possible to ensure if anything is taken by mistake, it will be returned to the correct child.  
Missing Items:
Blue shorts from Next age 4 years
Blue jeans from Early Days age 2 – 3 years.
