Dear parents /carers,

Happy New Year to you all, we hope you had a lovely Christmas.

We are all looking forward to a busy new term, this half term our learning is based on ‘People who help us’ we will be having visits from the dentist and police.

We break up on Friday 13th February for half-term, and children will return Monday 23rd February.

In the school holidays we will be opening Monday-Thursday 9-1 these sessions will be £10 per day, and the children will bring their packed lunch each day. Our first one will be the February half term week commencing Monday 16th February.

The sessions would have to be paid for at the time of booking and places are limited there is a form attached to the newsletter to book any sessions these are very popular so need to be booked ASAP. We will also be offering this in the

Easter holidays.
We would like to say a big thank you to Barbie who is on the committee at the Cherry Tree Centre along with Pat who did lots of fundraising to provide the toys for the children from Santa at Christmas.

A few reminders

  • Could you please just bring your child’s water bottle in daily and empty, with your child’s name on.
  • When coming to preschool could you please put appropriate clothing on for the weather. Please remember to name all your child’s clothes and belongings.
  • If your child is not attending, could you please ring or email us as we must record this for Ofsted and the funding.
  • All parents/carers will have been sent a link through your emails you provided to join Tapestry this is where we send photos or notifications for your child’s learning journey, please check your junk or spam if you have not received the link and let us know.

If you have any questions, please ring or email us.
