Dear Parents/carers,
This half term we would like to welcome to our staff Laura Cockram who has many years experience working with children. Laura will be working with us on Tuesdays from October.
Information for parents / carers:
Parent sessions will be held from 31st October to share your child’s progress. We are hoping to go on an Autumn walk to Welland park in our afternoon session this term. We are also going to be holding a cake sale in aid of Children in Need in November.
We will let you know the details of these activities nearer the time. Please look out for additional news this term and upcoming activities on our facebook page and website.
Sickness procedure:
Please be aware that our policy is to keep your child at home for 48 hours after sickness. This is in accordance with Public Health England guidelines. Our Policies and Procedures can be viewed on Little Acorns Website
Outside play.
All ‘sit and ride’ toys and any other toy brought into pre-school are left at ‘owners risk’. We ask that your child brings a helmet so that they can use our ride on toys. Their own bikes/scooters can be used to come to a nd ride home from pre-school, but will not be used during the sessions. We will always be using our outside space for play, whatever the weather, so we ask you to provide your child with appropriate clothing for the session. We do have some spare wet/sunny weather clothing, but we’re always grateful for donations.
Notice period.
If any parent wishes to either terminate or decrease the number of sessions that their child attends, one month’s notice in writing must be given. If a child is unable to attend for the notice period then fees will be charged in lieu of notice.
