All go December!
Dear Parents,
It was lovely seeing so many of you at the children’s Christmas Concert. I’m sure you will all agree it is a wonderful event to kick start the festive season and see what the children have been working towards in recent weeks.
We hope you are feeling Christmas-ready and excited for the forthcoming festivities? As you can imagine the children are super excited at the prospect of snow flurries and of course, the arrival of Father Christmas!
Alongside our Christmas Concert, we have had numerous Christmas activities going on at the nursery all through December. So far, we have transformed the nursery into a spectacular winter’s scene, complete with cosy fireplace, chimney and stockings. All that is missing now is a dusting of snow! Our cheeky Elf on the Shelf has also been busy getting up to all sorts of mischief. The children in comparison have been angelic of course and we are regularly serenaded with their own unique versions of ‘Twinkle Twinkle Little Star’ and ‘We wish you a merry Kissmass’!
Our nursery carol concert, weren’t they brilliant? *wipes tear*
Children in Need
The Children in Need week in mid-November was a fantastic success. It was great to see so many children dressing up to take part. Thank you to everyone who brought in delicious homemade goodies for our cake sale. We raised a magnificent £426 for this wonderful cause, which we hope will make a difference to the lives of children less fortunate than our own, especially at this time of year. The week ended on a slightly slippery note with ‘Gunge Day’! Parents and children voted unanimously for Nikita and Jemma to be slimed (see action shot below). They really enjoyed the experience and are already signed up for next year we hear!

We know it is a very busy time of year so thank you to you all of you that have taken time to submit reviews on the Day Nurseries website. The comments have been extremely positive, and we are immensely proud to announce that we currently have a top rating of 9.9!
To say thank you all reviewers’ names were placed in a hat and one lucky winner was drawn to receive a week’s free childcare. We are pleased to announce the winner was Hudson’s mummy, Stephanie. Runners up, Martha, Amy’s mummy, and Jacqueline, Joseph’s mummy both received a bottle of wine.
