Review Day: we’re sorry


We unfortunately had to reschedule the Review Day for most children because we had under-estimated how much time it would take to put together the reports for the leavers and make sure we had the right information ready about all the other children, too. We made every effort to tell each parent in person, but we’re sorry if anyone got missed out and also sorry if it has caused you inconvenience.

We are meeting with all the parents of children who are leaving this week, and we will meet everyone else on Monday 22nd June. This means that if your child has a core day place, there will not be the usual nursery day on the 22nd, just a "crèche place" so you can meet with your key person. Families with extended day/year places are not affected, and staff will make individual arrangements to meet that group of parents.

The new date: Review Day for children with Core Day places is Monday 22nd June.

Please remember that Monday 15th June (this Monday coming) is a staff development morning. This means that nursery opens at 1pm for children with Core Day places.
