Dear Parents and Carers,

 

 

 

Can parents please drive slowly in and out of the carpark as there are children that run out. Could we please also ask parents to provide their child with adequate clothing for the weather. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you haven’t yet made and end of term meeting with your child’s key person could you please do so.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just a reminder that we still offer play dates. This is where the child’s key worker will come out for a few hours and will join and your child with your daily routine and activities to build on our relationship you and your child.
