In-service days
We have five in-service days a year, to update our training. We will try to notify you of dates in advance, as much as possible.
Winter clothing
Please can you make sure your child is dressed warmly for Pre-school, and always bring a coat for the garden. It is an Ofsted requirement that all children should have access to an outside garden area to free flow inside and out throughout the session. Therefore, our doors are always open to the play garden, with the plastic flaps down so that children who are inside can still stay warm if they don’t choose to go out. (We only have two spare coats in our spare clothes box, so please always remember your child’s coat)

Autumn coffee morning/Fund Raising
A big huge thank you to all of you who supported us at our Autumn coffee morning, we raised £159.00 altogether with the Halloween scratch card, raffle, cake sale etc. We have purchased the wooden climbing frame, parent bench, and we would like to fundraise for a water adventure table for he garden.
 
Fundraising scratch cards
We have introduced these as a seasonal way of raising money for the Pre-School pay £2.00 and you can win £52.00 with the snowman scratch card, please support us and pre -school also get £52.00 towards our fundraising.

Christmas Twinkly Nativity concert Wednesday 3rd December
The children will sing some songs and the concert will last for 15-20mins, because the children are very young, and will not be able to concentrate for longer. 
We will supply the nativity outfits, and put a list on the door of who your child is. Tickets cost £2.00 per person, and tickets will be limited to 2 tickets per family because we are only having one showing, this will run on a first                                  come first served basis. It will be a ticket only event for safety. If parents only want 1 ticket, we can sell the spare tickets if any, so put your name down on the waiting list if you require this. WHEN THERE GONE THERE GONE!!!

Children's Christmas party, and visit from Santa 
We have a Christmas party each year for the children, there will be party games, party food, and a visit from Santa with a Christmas present.
