Merry May!

Dear Parents,

We hope you all had a good May? With two bank holidays, a royal wedding and some glorious sunshine, there was certainly plenty to celebrate. The children are full of energy at the moment and, with the weather improving, they’re enjoying taking every opportunity they can to go outside and play with their friends. Our Odds Farm Park Trip was a fantastic success (see below) and we hope to organise more outings in the future to help bring the children’s learning to life and make even more happy memories of their time at nursery.

Given how time flies, we’re delighted to say our new School Readiness programme launched on 4th June. The six-week programme is for our pre-schoolers who will be starting school in September. The educational content is based on detailed research we carried out with a group of local Foundation stage teachers to gain deeper understanding of the skills and behaviours children need to have when they start school. The programme aims to help the children prepare for their transition to primary school and a ‘need to know’ information guide to support parents will be sent out to you shortly. In the meantime, if you have any questions please do get in touch.

Best wishes,

The Riverside Day Nursery Team
