Dear Parents,

Please note Nursery will be closed for the May Bank Holiday which is Monday 26th May.

For our Preschool children who will be leaving us at the end of the summer to go onto their new adventure of school, in the next couple of weeks we will be putting up a list in reception, with the children’s name on. Please can Parents confirm which school they will be attending and their anticipated leaving date, this will be helpful for us to liaise with the school visits etc. and to arrange our “Leavers Graduation Day”.

NAG TIME…………

LABELLED SUN HATS AND SUN CREAM

May we remind Parents that summer is just around the corner!!! Please remember to put the above items in the children’s bags as every opportunity to have the children outside in the garden area will be taken.

Also may we remind you not to bring in large toys, if a child wants to bring in a comfort toy, then it must be able to fit into their bags for safety and to avoid getting lost or broken.

Meanwhile, back to the day to day happens at Inwood...

The children will continue their themes of “Growing and Planting” – watch out for the Mr Grass Heads, Tomato Plants, Runner Beans and Sunflowers to be coming home in a few weeks, we have budding gardeners developing……

Once this activity has been completed we will then turn of thoughts to “Holidays,” sun, sand, sea and all things nice.

See this is what happens when we get a couple of lovely days weather.

As usual if anyone has any queries or questions, please don’t forget to either speak to Sam or myself at nursery or alternatively telephone/email me.

Kind regards
