Autumn 1st Half Term: Monday 02/09/2024.
Dear Parents,
I hope you’ve all had a lovely summer. A huge thank for all our lovely cards, flowers, money and gifts, we are truly grateful to our very generous parents.
A very warm welcome to all our new families. We will work with you to provide the highest quality of care and education for your precious children. Please feel free to discuss in confidence any concerns or queries you may have.
2 & 3 yr old Funding:
There are two different types of two-year old funding, which parents need to apply for if they think they may eligible. For more information, please go to www.bromley.gov.uk. If you need help please speak to Danni, Gill or myself.
30 Hour Funding:
If you are working for more than 16 hours and think you may be eligible for the additional funding, please go to the following website and apply; www.childcarechoices.gov.uk If you are still unsure or have any questions please speak to Danni, Gill or myself. If you are in receipt of the extra funding, please ensure that you update your claim every 3 months; (from when you first applied even if your child hasn’t starting using it yet. You should receive a reminder from HMRC and we will also try to remind you as well.
STRICTLY NO NUTS:
Please ensure that your child’s lunch does not contain any nuts or nut products. This in line with all settings and schools.
Healthy Eating:
We are very passionate about promoting healthy eating and healthy lifestyles. We supply nutritious snacks in the morning and afternoon.
Please provide healthy packed lunches or cooked food which does not include any sweets, chocolate, crisps or fizzy drinks.
Plain biscuits or plain sponge cakes are acceptable, aswell as savouries such as mini cheddars, pom bears, watsits, quavers and skips as they melt, and of course yoghurts and cheese snacks etc are fine too.
Pre-School Uniform:
If you would like to order the pre-school uniform, please speak to a member of staff.
Please remember to clearly label all your child’s belongings. We have lots of children with items which are not labelled. This makes it very difficult and time consuming when we are taking the children out to play and getting them ready to go home.
Topic for this half term: Colours and shapes:
We have lots of new, exciting crafts, games and story books for our children to help them to learn different colours and shapes. We have the rainbow fish soft toys and hand puppet with the story book. We also have Elmer the elephant soft toys and story book. We will be making rainbow mobiles, and we have lots of different shapes in felt, tissue paper, card and foam.
Please inform the pre-school if your child is absent due to illness, holiday or for any other reason on the day or as soon as you possibly can. Fees are still due if your child is absent, as you are reserving their place. Parents are politely reminded that funded places must be used appropriately, or you may lose your child’s place.
If you have any queries or concerns, please do not hesitate to speak to a member of staff or contact me directly.
With our very best wishes. Anne Marie & Dannielle. Our Lady’s Pre-School Manager & Trainee Manager.
