Head of School's Message
Dear Parents and Carers,
​
Welcome back! It has been so lovely to see our children return to the nursery this week. We also welcome all the new families and are extremely excited for the journey ahead.
​
We understand that this can be a very anxious time for some children as they separate from parents again, some for the very first time. Currently, the practitioners are working hard to settle children into the setting as quickly and effectively as possible. Please bear this in mind when trying to speak to practitioners in the morning at the school door or gate.
We know that what you have to say is extremely important to you, and we would like to give you the time to hear and respond. However, during the morning sessions, our priority must be the children, ensuring that they are safe and settled quickly into the room. So, if we cannot speak to you at that time, please either be patient and wait until all children are in and settled, or alternatively, please arrange a time to speak to your Room Leader or Key Person.
​
Alternatively, I am always happy to answer any concerns face to face; just pop in and ask to speak to me. Thank you for your understanding.

Success Story of the Week!
Dear Parents,
It has been delightful to see nearly all the children arrive in uniform this week. They look fantastic, and we hope that we have created a real sense of community and belonging for them.
As they get dressed in the morning, you can talk to them about where they are going for the day as they begin to associate their uniform with the community and school, fostering a real sense of belonging.
​
Speaking of belonging, all uniforms belong to you, so please ensure your child's name is somewhere on their jumper.
Since one green jumper/cardigan can look like another, if you would like your child's clothes to find their way back to you, a name always helps.
Thank you for your support.
