With regards to the staff changes (blog dated 26th September) if any parents wish to discuss the changes please come and see a member of senior staff thank you.
We are pleased to announce that Krissi has just been promoted to bumblebees team leader; you will be seeing lots of exciting new changes to the 2-3’s room over the next few weeks.
We are launching our new birthday cakes where your child will be able to enjoy a unique homemade cake which they will be able to eat at lunch time with their friends as part of a birthday celebration lunch. This is due to the children not being able to eat shop bought cakes on the premises due to special diets and allergies. All cakes will be decorated with their own figurine which the child can take home with them after the cake will cost £10. If you are interested please e-mail the nursery.
