Health Alert

Good afternoon everyone ,

I'm sorry to have to tell you that it looks like the tummy bug is back . We've had reports of several children being ill at home- many thanks to parents for informing us !
Please remember that your child cannot return to the  nursery until 48 hours after the last symptoms and be extra vigilant with your hygiene - especially handwashing . Please help us to limit the spread of this - we really don't want anyone's summer holiday ruined by a tummy bug!

The sunflowers are appealing for any old hats you may have at home for their role play area . The children love wearing hats when dressing up and our stock is currently much depleted . All donations gratefully received- thank you .

All the children have been doing lots of gardening  - and very successful its been too! We currently have runner beans , potatoes , lettuce, strawberries and tomatoes growing amazingly well ( partly thanks to our own home-made compost) as well as lots of pretty flowers . There are still some tomato plants on offer in the schoolhouse courtesy of the snowdrops and bluebells- please take one if you'd like to try some gardening at home  . The fruit trees in the orchard are all growing too , and we'll soon be adding some new features in here - so look out for them!
They've also been helping rearrange and clean(yes clean!!!) the outdoor equipment and are still coming up with ideas for us to discuss with Steve the Ranger over the summer - don't forget we'd like your suggestions too - displays in both buildings with room for comments/suggestions .

We'd also  like to give  you advance warning of a fees increase in September . At the request of parents , we have not increased fees for the past two years and costs have continued to rise. Once the reviewed rates have been decided , we'll let you know as soon as possible.

A reminder that the nursery will be closed on Monday 8th July so please don't come that day - you wont get in!
