Craigton Roundup

Good afternoon all,

As we continue to shiver through this endless winter , its hard  to believe that it will be Easter next week...but it is! We shall of course be celebrating this at Craigton with lots of different Easter themed activities. The school house children have already planted grass seed and are carefully watering and watching it grow - this will then go home along with an Easter bunny soon!(They will also be learning all about farm animals next week) All the children will be decorating and rolling eggs , and I'm sure that there will be lots of yummy goodies - its always a very busy baking week! There may even be an array of Easter bonnets :-)

In response to a high level of interest in superheroes , with lots of child led role play involving this , the sunflowers will be having a Princess and Superhero day next Wednesday 27th March . All sunflowers are asked to come dressed as their favourite princess/superhero and bring in a book featuring this to share with the others - Please ensure these are clearly marked with your child's name so we can make sure it gets back to the right person .

As the nasty bugs are still in the community , we continue to have children returning before they are well enough to cope with a nursery day - this means they are being sent home and in some cases delaying their recovery(as well as passing on the virus). Please remember that any child who is unwell or  has a temperature , or has been given medication to reduce one , should not come to nursery .  If recovering , the advice from NHS is to allow 48 hours after the last symptoms . We'd really appreciate your co-operation on this - Thank you.

And now a security matter - recently , some parents/grandparents have sent siblings into the nursery alone to collect children . Please note that we cannot allow children to leave the nursery unless they are in the care of a responsible adult- this is the child's parents or other adult designated by them .

Don't forget that the clocks go FORWARD next weekend so you'll have one hour less to eat all that chocolate , and the nursery will be closed on Easter Monday 1st April .
