Welcome to Term 6
Hello sunshine! A huge well done to our new children who have settled into Sunflower room last term. A busy term for new children to arrive but they have all done so well. We look forwards to more fun with all of our children, over the next few weeks.
As the hotter weather has arrived, please ensure suncream is applied to children before arriving and provide a named bottle to hand in to staff, if you wish for it to be reapplied. Please could children bring in a named sun hat. Please name everything to help staff find items. Nursery Team xx
Meet the Teacher
Early morning routine Help your child will find their name card and register on our Key Worker boards. Please sign in and record your child’s lunch choice for the day.
We will help your child settle on an activity in our Key Worker areas. We refer to this time as Talk Time. It is a time for you to share any news or information with the Key Worker and chat to your child as they settle into their new day. These activities will have been carefully planned to suit the groups interests. We then say hello to each other and have a small activity in our groups.
Packed Lunches If packing a lunch for your child, please ensure that it is healthy and when possible varied. Please see below some information and ideas on a range of healthy foods to provide. Nuts are not allowed due to allergies. Please could grapes be cut into quarters as they are a choking hazard, and we ask no chocolate bars please. Take the time to check the sugar content of yogurt drinks and snacks as it is very easy for your child to be consuming more than their daily intake of sugar without you realising. As a rule of thumb, foods that are unprocessed and fresh contain less sugar and artificial colours and flavours.
Reflective Planning
In our 3YO Nursery we use Reflective Planning. We follow the interests of your children and whilst they are playing, we support and extend their learning. We then reflect on our observations and interactions to carefully plan how to support your unique child. Whilst observing we may spot schemas in your child’s play. We may use these to help plan more enjoyable learning experiences. If you are interested in finding more out about schemas, follow the links below.

Makaton
Michelle has been filming Stephanie to support our parents and practitioners with using Makaton. Here are some of the signs that we felt were the most helpful!
