Hello from the Riverside Day Nursery Team – November 2020

Dear Parents,

It was wonderful welcoming everyone back following the first lockdown. We were thrilled that the children adapted so well into nursery life. In the last few months, we have also welcomed many new children who are settling in beautifully. It is heartening seeing so many new friendships blossoming.

Now in a second national lockdown, although still a period of uncertainty, we are grateful that the nursery can stay open and that the children can continue to enjoy their games and activities as usual.

Thank you for your continued support at drop off and pick up to maintain social distancing, it is very much appreciated.

Our Happy Halloween and Pre-schoolers’ Graduation

There have been some amazing events recently. At the end of October, we had a week-long Halloween celebration where the children dressed up every day in their favourite spooky outfits. In August, we held our 2020 graduation ceremony for pre-schoolers moving up to primary school. It is always a bitter-sweet occasion saying goodbye – especially in a year which has been so unusual – but it was lovely to see our eldest children confident and ready for school life.

With winter around the corner, we have been making the most of the mild autumn weather by getting out and about. The children have been going on walks to the park to feed the ducks (always a favourite) and see Windsor castle. We have also been spending time in the nursery garden spotting changes in the scenery, from the falling leaves to the appearance of dewy cobwebs.

Making Christmas Special

As Christmas approaches we know things might be a little different this year. It is a magical time for children, and we want them to enjoy it as much as possible. As well as doing fun Christmas crafts and activities in nursery, we’ve put together some festive things going on in the Windsor area in our top tips to help Christmas feel, well a bit more like Christmas!

Best wishes,

The Riverside Day Nursery Team
