Nurture Outdoor Kindergarten
- November 2016
Important Notices
Clothing
Dear Parents,
With this colder (and sometimes stormy!) weather upon us, it’s great to see so many children kitted out with warm clothing, and plenty of changes. For those of you still in the process of acquiring kit, a warm fleece or coat that can be worn underneath the waterproofs is essential, as well as spare warm jumpers.
Please would you label your child’s clothes and water bottle. Even a simple name or initials on the care label with a permanent marker would really help us when sorting through numerous sets of belongings.
Thank you so much,
Helen and the Team
Arriving at Kindergarten
Dear Parents,
Please ensure that children arrive at Kindergarten by 9.15am. If this is not possible, please wait until after 10am before dropping your child off. It is really important that children are not arriving between 9.15am and 10am because this is our morning transition period, and during this time practitioners are working hard to maintain the flow as the group tidies up and uses the toilets, engages in circle time, and gets ready to go outside.Many children find transitions difficult in one way or another – as do many adults! – and so we feel it is important to protect this time from interruptions and distractions. Children arriving during this period also tend to find it harder to settle, because they are having to manage both separating from parents and joining in with an already-established activity all at once.
Many thanks,
Helen and the Team
