Don't forget to save the date for our big end-of-term celebration! On 22nd July, we will be heading to Knockhatch Adventure Park for our annual family day out. This will also be our final day of the summer term. Please remember that the pre-school setting itself will be closed on this day so that all of our staff can join in the fun at the park. Full details regarding arrangements can be found in our latest newsletter, or feel free to speak to a member of staff at drop-off!

We are pleased to invite you to our summer Parent Consultations, taking place during the week of 6th July (Monday 6th – Friday 10th July). This is a wonderful opportunity to sit down for a 1-to-1 catch-up with your child's key person, celebrate how much they have grown, and discuss their amazing progress and development this year. For our school leavers, we will also use this time to review and complete their primary school transition forms together before they are shared with their new schools. Appointment slots are available throughout the week, so please speak to a member of staff at the setting as soon as possible to book your time!

As we approach the end of the school year, we are preparing to say a very fond farewell to our amazing Rising 5s. We will be holding our annual Leavers Ceremony on Tuesday 21st July at 2:30 PM, and we warmly invite parents and families to join us. It is going to be a wonderful afternoon where the children will get to share a special picture they have drawn, tell us all about it, and be presented with their graduation certificates! We can't wait to celebrate all of their achievements and wish them the absolute best of luck on their next big adventure to primary school.

Please tell a member of staff if you would like your child to come to the Christmas Party. You will not need a packed lunch as we will be having party food on this day. We are asking for either Food or Money donations. There will be a donation box in the hallway or a signup sheet on the kitchen door.

We have a brilliant, creative, and beautifully messy week planned from Monday 13th to Friday 17th July for our annual Tie-Dying Week! Every child will get to create one special, colourful item provided by the pre-school to take home. Parents are warmly invited to come along and join in the fun with their child! If you would like to attend a session to do this together, please let a member of staff know so we can make sure we wait for you and don't do the activity with your child beforehand. If your child is eager to tie-dye more than one item, you are very welcome to supply extra things from home for them to use. Don't forget to dress your little ones in old clothes all week that you don't mind getting a splash of permanent colour on!

We are so excited to welcome all our children and families back for the new term! A special warm welcome to the new families joining us — we can’t wait for you to be part of our community. This term, children will be exploring: Our Themes: “All About Me” and “Seasons of Change” Activities: outdoor play, creative arts, story time, and early number & literacy fun Special Focus: helping children build confidence, independence, and friendships Reminders for Parents: Session Times: Please arrive promptly at the start and end of sessions. Clothing: Children should bring a warm coat, as we go outside in all weathers. Spare Clothes & Water Bottle: Please ensure these are clearly labelled. We are looking forward to another happy, busy, and fun-filled term together! 🌟
