If your child does not normally attend on a Friday, would you please let us know if your child will be attending so that we can plan for refreshments.

Leavers’ Presentation following the party: Parents/carers of the children who are leaving us are invited to join us at 11:30 am for the leavers’ presentation.

Sunny Weather and Sun Cream

Would you please ensure that you have applied sun cream to your child before they come to Pre-school when we have sunny weather. We are happy to re-apply at lunchtime if we have had your permission and we deem it necessary to do so. We use Boots Soltan Kids Once SPF 50 sun cream. If you have asked us to re-apply your preferred sun cream at lunchtime, please leave us with a supply with your child's name clearly marked on it. Would you please send your child in with a named sunhat. We have a box of sunhats for the children’s use in the garden in case they have not got their own. We have a shaded area for the children in the garden. We also encourage the children to drink water, and we provide a constant supply at all times.
