Castle Nursery Markenfield
Friday 05th February,
Dear
Parents and Carers,
Welcome
back to the Blog!!
You
may have noticed a couple of new faces around the nursery in the last two weeks
we have had Bryony join our bumblebees team and Irina join our butterflies. They
are both settling in very well and the children have made them both very
welcome.
This
Tuesday we shall be celebrating Pancake Day and having a slight change to
pudding at tea time where we shall be enjoying yummy pancakes.
We
have started to collect the Sainsbury’s
Vouchers again, the box can be found down in the foyer.
Keep
an eye out next week for upcoming events at castle over the next few months.
I
would just like to thank you all for your understanding with all the staff
changes that have or are about to take place within the nursery, some staff have
also taken on some new roles Tara from butterflies has become our Special
Education Needs Co-Ordinator and Amanda from Bumblebees has taken over as
Behaviour rep for the setting. If anyone needs any advice or ideas with either
area Tara and Amanda would be happy to help.
