update – W/c 24th June:
Lost
Property:
We have a substantial amount of lost property
(clothes) in preschool, in particular hooded jumpers. If you think your child
may have left an item of clothing at preschool, then please speak to a member
of staff as we will be more than happy for you to rummage through our
collections!
End
of Term:
Just to remind parents that our end of term in
relation to the free entitlement for three year olds is Friday 12th July. Therefore, unless you have asked for
your child to be booked in as ‘term time’ only, then sessions will be charged
at full cost. If you wish to make any amendments to your child’s sessions
during the 6 week school holiday, then please speak to either Louise (Manager)
or Kelly (Deputy).
School
Leavers:
Clover Court Pre-school will be holding an open
evening for our school leaver’s parents to attend on Thursday 11th July. The evening will provide you with a
10 minute slot with which to spend with your child’s key person. You will be
presented with their Learning Journal containing an end of term development
summary in preparation for the transition to ‘big school.’
On Thursday
25th July, Clover Court Pre-school will be holding a party
afternoon in celebration of our school leavers. The afternoon will consist of a
mini-disco session, party games; pass the parcel and a party tea. If you would like to book your child in extra
for this session, then please speak to Louise (Manager) or Kelly (Deputy).
Drop-offs:
Can we please remind parents/carers, that unless
your child is booked in with us before 8.00, not to drop them off until your
child’s session starts, otherwise this impacts on our staffing and adult: child
ratios. If you do require your child to be dropped off before 8.00, then please
speak to Louise (Manager) or Kelly (Deputy) about possibly extending the
session. We appreciate your understanding of this.
Baby
Room:
We are very proud of our babies who have
recently found their feet, and those who are making great progress in rolling
and crawling.
The babies have been enjoying participating in
outdoor activities; playing with the large cars and road map, experimenting with
the trikes and push along toys, and crawling through the new tunnel maze.
Nursery:
In nursery last week, the children really
enjoyed playing with their new outdoor tunnel maze, they used this to role-play
fireman Sam, rescuing each other from the tunnels. The children also enjoyed
using the recycled materials to create models; in particular, they focused on
different modes of transport.
New
Resources:
We have recently been given a grant with which
to purchase resources to develop our outdoor learning environments in Nursery
and Pre-school. With this grant, Nursery has purchased a tunnel maze, a road
map for their cars, a secret den hideaway, sand toys, a water tray and water
toys. Pre-school have purchased a new tricycle, a new scooter, a story mat and
cushions, a tuff tray unit for sand, water and messy play and a mini basketball
net. You may start to see some of these resources coming in within the next few
weeks.
As
always, please feel free to add any comments!
