Good News

Good afternoon everyone ,

I am very pleased to tell you that we will be welcoming Suzanne back to the sunflowers after her maternity leave. She will be returning on Monday (along with her daughter) and we're all delighted to see her again . She and Donna will be sharing Senior Practitioner responsibilities in the sunflowers- Suzanne will be here Monday - Wednesday and Donna Tuesday , Thursday Friday . Welcome back !!!!!

I am also delighted that we shall have a new cook starting next week too- Georgia is an experienced nursery cook and we are all looking forward to her lovely lunches . I have enjoyed making the lunches for the past couple of months(and I hope the children have too) but am looking forward to getting back to my 'real' job!

We are very fortunate to have our lovely outdoor area at Craigton and we make the most of it every day. We all believe that outdoor play and learning is essential for the children's health and development, and the children are all outdoors for part of the day. But they need to be properly dressed when outside . So please ensure that your child has adequate outdoor gear every day - a waterproof suit or jacket and trousers , hat , gloves and boots  - also soft soled shoes or slippers for indoors .   We do have a very limited stock of spare suits - so if you have any  that your children no longer use , we'd gladly accept them , and they'd be well used|!

 ....and its Halloween ! We have already seen some lovely costumes and are looking forward to next week when Im sure there will be many more . The sunflowers went on a trip to Asda yesterday afternoon  to choose and buy special Halloween items for the whole nursery - thank you sunflowers!  The children have  also been investigating Diwali (festsival of light) and have made a lovely display in their room of items used to celebrate this festival .

Dont forget that the clocks go back this weekend - yes winter really is on the way !

Hope you all have a scream at any Halloween parties ! - Enjoy the weekend .
