Summer Stay and Play Programme July 26th to August 13th
We have teamed up with our neighbours Bemerton Children’s Centre to offer a joint programme of Stay and play sessions every weekday morning (Monday to Friday) at Barnard Park One O’ Clock club starting at 10am. The One O’clock club takes over at 12.30 so the session is open right up to 3pm. All children aged five and under with their Mums Dads and Carers are very welcome. We’ll be offering a variety of activities for young children including sand, water, balls, bikes, craft activities and much more.

At Kate Greenaway we’ll still be offering Tiny Tots stay and play sessions on Monday afternoons for children aged 0-18months from 1-3pm on July 26th and August the 2nd with the last session on the 9th of August. We’ll also be open on Saturdays 10.30-12.30 on the 24th and 31st of August with the last Saturday on the 7th of August for children aged 6 and under.

Free Swimming lessons for children under five are being offered at Cally Pool in July, please book at Cally Pool Reception and see the poster on our notice board for more details. There will also be Tuesday sessions hosted by Bemerton CC, give them a call to book (02075274806).

We’ll end our Summer stay and play programme on Friday 13th of August and reopen with a revised programme in the week beginning September the 5th. We’ll be giving out the Autumn programme as soon as its ready.
There is a free Play day for all children at Highbury Fields on Wednesday August 4th from 10am and look out for your copy of Heatwave magazine or have a look at Islington councils’ website for loads of ideas for activities for children of all ages over the summer.

Leavers Ceremony for nursery children going to School
On Thursday the 22nd of July at 2.30 we are cordially inviting all parents of children who will be moving on in September to join us. We’ll be holding small group celebrations to wish the children lots of luck and present them with their profile books, then holding a picnic celebration tea outside (weather permitting!) for all the children to finish at 3.30. Please let Michele know if you’re able to come.

Meeting for New Parents-help needed
On Tuesday July 20th we have invited parents of children who will be new to Nursery in September to come in and find out more about the centre.
We need one or two Mums, Dads or carers of children who already attend to come along and help us welcome the new families and answer any questions they may have. Let Jan know if you are interested, thanks.
