Chipmunks Chatter, Dorchester

Dear Parents / Carers

For those of you that are new to us we try to write up a newsletter every term to let you all know what happening within the nursery.

COVID – as most of you are aware the government guidelines changed again from this month however, I am still currently awaiting to hear from Public Health Dorset with an update to the guidelines to be able to make any adjustments to our risk assessments and procedures. As soon as any of these change I will email you all!

The Queens Jubilee bank holiday – as some of you will already know the bank holiday at the end of May has been moved and we have an extra one! So, we already have May Day on Monday 2nd May as a bank holiday and then Thursday 2nd June and Friday 3rd June. This means that the half term week we are only open for the 3 days Monday-Wednesday!

Facebook – Please make sure that you all like our Facebook page as we will be starting to add some pictures of activities and other notices up on there. We are hoping to start adding pictures of the children enjoying participating in activities etc so we have attached a consent form if you are happy for your child to be photographed to appear on our Facebook page. Please return to the office ASAP

Parent room Visits – we have decided to ‘open up’ each room for an allocated slot for you all to come and have a look at the rooms to see where your child spends their time with us. You will also have the opportunity to take your child’s learning journey home to have a look through. (These must be returned within a week)

The time slots are

Slot 1: 500pm-515pm         slot 2: 515pm-530pm slot 3: 530pm-545pm

The dates for each room are:

Monday 25th April – ladybirds (2-3’s)

Tuesday 26th April – Butterfly 1(downstairs preschool)

Wednesday 27th April – Butterfly 2 (upstairs preschool)

Thursday 28th April – Dragonflies (babies)

Please email the office to let me know your preferred time slot and the room you are wanting to visit, and we will confirm ASAP

These visits MUST be booked in advance via email

Parents evenings

Once we have carried out the above visits, we will open up some dates for you to be able to book to speak to your child’s keyworker face to face!!

As always, any worries, concerns, or anything you wish to speak to us about please do not hesitate to ask.

Many thanks

Carolyn
