If you’ve been looking at the posts on this site you could be forgiven for thinking nothing’s been happening at the Nursery since September!
Nothing could be further from the truth.
The New Building
It has been manic trying to sort out our new building; Katherine and Rachel have been coordinating with Ros, who has been tireless in her efforts to progress things, but as many of you will be aware, there have been a number of problems . . . and there still are, but I suppose that’s the nature of a new build.
Autumn Club
Club is not quite as straightforward as in previous years. We are sharing the Club Room with our friends from Hollybush Monetessori, who are homeless while the Community Centre is being refurbished/rebuilt. This means a very quick changeover on the last day of term and the last day of Club, but it’s worth it to be able to catch up with our Nursery Alumni and, of course, we earn a few bob from it too.
Club was very well attended this Autumn; we usually allow for up to twelve children each day and we managed this on the Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
Christmas Club
Christmas Club will be running on 19th, 20th and 23rd December. Bookings are now being taken.
Hygiene Inspection
A couple of weeks ago we had a snap inspection. The inspector is reserving his final judgement until he can review the kitchen in the new nursery, but it won’t be less than the 4 stars we currently have. Many thanks to Susie who, unlucky for her – lucky for us, was on duty that day!
Staff Changes
We said ‘Goodbye’ to Alice who, after graduating from University, helped us out with Club in the Summer of last year, and then joined us temporarily while she found the right thing to kick start her new career. We said ‘Hello again’ to Brittany who, after graduating from University, helped us out with this year’s Summer Club and has joined us temporarily while she finds the right thing to kick start her new career! And we also said ‘Hello’ to Shannon who has joined us as an apprentice Nursery Nurse.
Christmas Holiday
We will be closing on 24th December (probably earlier than usual) and reopening for the New Year on 2nd January.
