• A Fond Farewell and our thanks

  Fri 17 Jul 2020

  Yesterday was the last day at nursery for our children at nursery. It’s been such a tricky few months but we just want to say that are so very proud of each and every one of you. We hope you all keep safe and have a wonderful summer holiday and we want to give you on our sincerest thanks for all of your kind words, cards and gifts, which were very much appreciated. 
   

  We also bid a fond farewell  to Carly one of our early years educators and to Gwyneth, who has been with us at nursery for the last 16 years...you will be missed so much.

   

  We look forward to welcoming some of our children back in September but for others, their time at nursery has come to an end as they prepare for the next steps of their learning journey at big school in September...we know you will be fantastic! 

   

  It was great that so many of you could join us today for our virtual celebration on Teams...it was really lovely to see you and your families to celebrate your time at nursery. 

   

  So the staff at nursery have recorded this little song, especially for you, to commemorate this moment in time.
  just follow the link below.

   

  We really hope that you enjoy it...
  ...please remember to like and share .

• ‘Bear’ and ‘Little Monkey’ have arrived!

  Sun 05 Jul 2020

   

  The last few months have been so tricky as together we have worked together to forge a way through the Covid19 pandemic.

  For our nursery children, transition to their Infant Schools is such an important time as is the transition into nursery for the first time, so this year as we have had to think about supporting our children in a completely different way we have embarked on a special transition project…The Teddy Bear project.

   

  Children who are leaving us in September all received their preparation pack last week, to get ready for 'Bear'…and this week 'Bear' arrived! Along with 'Bear', who children will name and take care of, there are also some activities for parents and their child do. For children who are going to The Green or The Brigg there was also be a storybook based on the new school, showing them what they can expect to see and do when they start their new school.

   

  Many of the children who will be returning to us in September will also not have been to nursery for nearly 7 months and our new September starters have been unable to have their usual visits to our nursery. With this in mind, we have shared a similar pack for these children and new starters. 'Little Monkey' also arrived this week with a story all about nursery and lots of activities and ideas to support children with getting ready to begin or return to nursery.

   

  The children were so excited to receive their new friends. We hope they have fabulous time taking care of them and completing the activities with them and also that in doing so, their mental health and well-being will be supported as they embark on this new chapter in their journey of learning.
