 The Butterflies will be joining with the Bumblebees whilst their room is redecorated, we have decided to carry out the redecoration this week as term does not start until Monday 7^th January so both rooms will be very quiet. We thank you in advance for your understanding and hope you all like the new look of our Preschool room!

Please may we remind parents to replenish their children’s nappies and wipes on a regular basis, we are finding a lot of children without either nappies or wipes for weeks at a time. Please see your child’s communication book or room door for a reminder when they need replenishing.

We unfortunately say goodbye to Sarah from Snails who leaves us on the 05^th January.

Jenni will take over from Sarah in the Snails from 02^nd January. Please see Krissi if Jenni is your childs keyworker.
