Sun Hats - With the warmer weather heading our way please can you make sure your child had a named sun hat with them at pre-school and that sun-cream is applied before they come to pre-school. For children attending all day either apply the 8 hour protection sun cream or bring in a named bottle of sun-cream so that staff can apply it at lunchtime. This will only apply on the days that your child comes in for a full day.

Any spare clothes? - Our spare clothes stock is looking rather diminished, as summer approaches it brings with it increased water play so we can never have enough spare clothes. If you have any old clothes, trousers, tops, skirts etc. that your child has grown out of we would greatly appreciate them.
It would also be a good idea to check the spare clothes on your child's peg to make sure the clothing is appropriate for the season and that the clothes still fit.

Parking - Unless there are extenuating circumstances, it is NOT possible to use the school drive or park outside the Pre-School. This is for the safety of all the children. Please use School Lane for drop offs and pick-ups. We do however encourage parents and carers to walk to Pre-School when possible.
Please be considerate and safe when parking. The Highway code clearly states that:
1) You must not park near a school entrance.
2) You must not park on the yellow zig zags outside the school.
3) You must not park opposite or within the 10 metres (32 feet) of a junction except in an authorised parking space. This includes the junction of Stable Lane and School Lane. Parking on the corner severely limits the visibility of both pedestrians and drivers at the junction.
If you happen to be parked outside Pre-School, particularly in the afternoon, you will need to wait until the older children are out of school and have left the area before attempting to reverse/drive out.
If parking is essential, please REVERSE into parking spaces. As drivers we must all appreciate how hard it is to see toddlers when reversing and they are around cars.
Please can parents be responsible for informing relatives/childminders etc of our policy on parking.

Its time to get dressed up! Please feel free to send your child in fancy dress on Thursday 26th April (sorry for the late notice but I am sure they will have a outfit ready to go in those dressing up collections) in return for a donation towards the tombola prizes at the Summer Fete. This could be wine, chocolates, sweets, toys etc - whatever takes your fancy!
We are also collecting second hand toys which are unwanted, any donations are appreciated. We will have boxes outside Pre-School for you to drop them off on Thursday 26th and Friday 27th April. If there is a larger item which needs collection, please let me know.
