Governing Body

We are holding an election for a parent governor later this week.

The Governing Body is in charge of the overall direction of the Nursery School and Children’s Centre. So it’s important and can make a real difference to the lives of children and their families.
We think that the role of parent governor is really vital – after all parents have real first-hand knowledge of what’s best for their children. All the governors work to help the development of Kate Greenaway, and help us to improve through support and challenge.

So, when you get the letter later this week please don’t forget to have your say and cast your vote. There is one vote for each parent – so if we have two parents registered for a child, then each parent can vote; if you are a lone parent then you will get a single vote.

It’s Children’s Book Week

We are celebrating Children’s Book Week with trips to the local bookshop (Borders) and to the Lewis Carroll Library.

The theme of Children’s Book Week is Words and Pictures.

Books are so important to children’s development and learning – and such fun, too. So we hope lots of parents and carers will join us in the trips out next week. Don’t forget you can borrow books from the nursery collection and also from the library rack next to Marie’s desk. During the week we will be encouraging families to sign up for the local library – which is free and entitles you to borrow books and more.

If you have not had your free BookStart pack – please ask Michele for yours. If your child is over 4 years old then you get the next pack, the Treasure Box, which we can also give you.
So – ask for yours today, don’t miss out!

Children’s illnesses – ‘flu, Chicken Pox, etc

We have a child on roll now who has serious health difficulties, making him very vulnerable to ordinary infections and illnesses.

If you keep your child off nursery because of ‘flu, Chicken Pox or another infection – please could you call and let us know as soon as possible, and then we can let the parent and health team know too.
