January 2025 Update

 

We hope that you have all enjoyed the Christmas break and we would like to wish you all a happy and healthy 2025. We would like to thank you for the kind cards and gifts. As you will know, Sam and Laura are now both on maternity leave,  we would like to welcome Beth to the team, she will be working across pre-school and breakfast and afterschool club.

 

 

This term we will be doing; yoga on Monday’s, Tuesday’s will be music and movement, cooking and number rhymes on Wednesday’s, woods on Thursday’s and nursery rhymes on Fridays. Our focus this term will be based around Goldilocks & the Three Bears, Where’s My Teddy, Eddy?, The Three Little Pigs, Chinese New Year & Valentines.

                   

Please can you ensure that a change of clothes is kept in a bag on their peg (including socks!). We do go out regardless of the weather, so wellies are a must, as is suitable clothing for the weather – waterproof coats if it’s raining, gloves and hats if it is cold.

 

If you are in receipt of 30 hours funding, please look out for and respond to the email reminding you to renew your code. If the code isn’t renewed, we are unable to claim the extended entitlement hours and you will invoiced.

 

We are a nut free setting and kindly ask that these are not included in your child’s lunch box.

 

School closure – This could be for a variety of reasons, but most frequently due to adverse weather, such as heavy snowfall. If this does happen, information will be published on our website and Facebook page, also on schools website, BBC Wiltshire and Heart FM (if school is closed, so is pre-school).

Illness – if your child is unwell or has a fever, please don’t send them into pre-school and please do not give calpol before they attend. They should stay at home until they feel better and the fever has resolved. Current Covid and flu levels are high, we would encourage you to take up the offer of a flu vaccine for your child, if you haven’t already done so.

 

We would like to thank you for supporting our sponsored walk, which raised £144 and the Christmas raffle which raised £471.60.

We have also been the beneficiary of the magazines sold by the Coffee Hub at the village shop and were presented with £430 just before Christmas. We would like to thank them for nominating us in 2024.
