Tuesday 11th May 2010
Dear parents and carers,

Whole Centre Closure
Just a reminder for all families that the centre will be closed on Monday 17th May all day for staff training. We will re-open to all children on Tuesday 18th May at the usual time.

Fluoride Varnishing programme
Kate Greenaway is one of the first Children’s Centre’s in Islington to offer this free programme for children aged 3. An oral health professional is coming to the nursery and stay & play sessions on Thursday & Friday this week (13th & 14th) from 9am to tell parents more about the programme which we hope to offer to all interested families at the end of May. Please do ask Jan or Michele to find out more before then.

Late collection of Children
Children with core day places finish nursery at 3:30pm
Please remember that you need to be at nursery at 3:25 to give yourself time for a handover discussion with your key person and to collect your child’s things. After 3:30 is late and makes it very difficult for both the children and the staff team who are trying to organise the end of day session for the extended day children. If you would like any more information about this please speak to Michele or Jan.

Toys and other personal items in nursery
We are becoming over whelmed by the number of toys the children are bringing into nursery. Please try to limit items from home to special transitional items that have been agreed by your key person. It is impossible for the staff team to keep an eye on toys from home and very difficult for the children when they are lost or if the children do not want to share them.
