Dear parents and carers
Wow what a lovely week we have had with the weather. Next week we will be asking parents for consent to apply suncream to your child but we are encouraging you to apply it before attending nursery when the weather and we will reapply if needed.
This week preschool have enjoyed exploring mini-beast in the garden etc beetles, snails and ants. Collecting them into a bowl and watching how they move, their colours and describing what they see.
We have also been looking at colours and naming the different colours they have seen by e.g. painting flags from where we are from to go on display in our room, coloured rice and bowls and asking open-ended questions in their play, helping to build on their vocabulary and fine motor skills.
This week our am star of the week is Yusra M for building friendships with others and our pm star of the week is Radia for settling into preschool and beginning to play with others.
Keep up the good work.
Just a quick reminder that we would be very grateful if all parents could complete the short online form to let us know which school their child will be attending from September 2024 or if they will be staying at Winterton House.
For those of you that have applied for mainstream reception or nursery you should have all had your allocation emails by now and you need to respond to these as detailed on the e-admissions website.
It’s helpful for us to have this information so we can arrange transition meetings where relevant and ascertain how many children will be staying with us in September.
Please let us know if your childs new school uses tapestry as we will be able to electronically transfer their learning journal to their new school to continue on.
You can complete the form by clicking the link below or by scanning the code in the picture with your mobile phone.

Can we also remind parents to bring in spare clothes for your child as the nursery is low on spare clothes and whoever has been sent home in nursery clothes can they kindly be returned. If you have any unwanted clothes we would really appreciate it if you could donate them.
We hope you all have a lovely weekend
Jenny and preschool girls.
