So, the month has gone by so quickly!

Our Inset day was a huge success and lots of learning took place under the headings of: Interactions vs Interfering, Promoting Positive Behaviour, Makaton and Early Years Nutrition Training.

The parent’s forum went very well, and we thank those of you who attended. During this meeting, we shared with you what took place on our Inset day with the Early Years Nutrition Programme and managing challenging behaviour.

Our Easter Bonnet Parade was a huge success too, and we hope you enjoyed the videos and photographs taken and posted on our Family app.

We would like to invite you all to approach your key person or room leader to book an appointment for our parents evening that will be happening on 8th and 9th May. This is a great opportunity to converse with your child’s key person without being disturbed by the children to discuss their achievements and any concerns you may have. There will also be a member of management, should you wish to speak with them. May is just around the corner and we have many wonderful things planned for the children. Please see individual rooms for details. As discussed in the parent forum, we will be sharing one of the recipes that our famous chef Plange cooks for the children so that you can replicate them at home if you wish to. Remaining nursery closure days for the rest of the year for staff Inset training are 26th July and 4th October.
