Dear Parents,
Firstly, a very big, warm welcome to all of our new families at Paws, we hope everyone had a lovely Easter break. We are all excited to get stuck back into nursery life! We have a busy couple of months ahead of us which we are excited to tell you about.

Across this term, here at Paws, we have the excitement of watching our Caterpillars turning into Butterflies, which we will take the opportunity to learn all about different life cycles and enjoy planting lots of butterfly friendly plants in our garden. We will also be covering farm animals in the run up to our very popular farm family day!! More information will be sent out in regards to the Farm day.

This term sees the fathers coming into Nursery in ‘Fathers week’ (See Important dates list). And sports day will hopefully be a sunny affair for us in June. I would like to take this opportunity to remind parents that, whilst we do provide aprons for messy play and a spare clothes box, please remember to send your children to nursery in comfortable, appropriate clothes. There are allocated “welly shelves” on the decking if you wish to leave a pair at nursery. Please also pack your child with a healthy snack for both morning and afternoon, separately labelled to lunches, which gets transferred into their trays in the morning, along with a labelled drinks bottle.

Please could I advise parents of the yellow ‘keep clear’ zig zags at the front of the nursery. Although there are no actual parking restrictions down the rest of Hayley Green, to help us keep our neighbours happy, please could we ask parents to park down Hayley Green lane next to the field, as opposed to outside the houses.

​

Key Worker – your child’s key worker will be set up on Tapestry where you will see some information about each key worker.. Key workers are responsible for tracking your child’s development throughout their time at Paws, although as we are such a small team, the staff do all work together and use their joint knowledge of the children to help with tracking. Throughout the year your child’s key worker may
change if for instance they build a particular bond with one teacher.

​
