Nursery News
Review day
We have a review day on Thursday 30th September, to enable key people to meet with parents the nursery is closed to all core day children.
Photographers in the Nursery
We have been asked by both Professor Tina Bruce CBE (renowned early years specialist) and The Thomas Coram research centre if they can use our lovely nursery to take photographs for up coming publications. Tina and her photographer will be in nursery on Wednesday 22nd & Thursday 23rd September and the Thomas Coram photographer will be here on the 1st October.
You will be given a slip to sign to give permission for your child to be included in these events.
Wet weather
As it becomes more like autumn the weather is likely to get wetter, we have lots of waterproofs for out in the garden but we are short of wellington boots. If your child has some at home they would like to wear at nursery please write their name inside before bringing them to nursery. If you have any that no longer fit and would like to donate them to the nursery we would love to have them.
Eid Celebrations
We will be celebrating Eid-al Fitr on Thursday 16th September in the ‘Being a Parent’ stay and play (10-12am). We’ll have information about the meaning of Eid and some special snacks and activities. The Nursery children will also be learning all about Eid. If your family celebrates Eid and you’d like to share with the children what your traditions are please do let us know.
Pilates Class £2, Open to all parents
We are supporting a Pilates class that runs weekly at Barnsbury Community Hall on Wednesdays 9.30-10.30. The class is suitable for all levels of fitness and there are still places left. Please ask Jan or Luisa if you’d like to know more.
