Wonderland Weekly News

WC 13th February 2023

We have a lot of clothing which is unnamed and in need of claiming. If you notice anything that belongs to your child above, please let a member of the Management know. Please can we ask for all of your child’s belongings to be named? It really helps us to reunite them with their owner.

If these are not claimed by Friday 17th February 2023, items will be used as nursery spare clothing and the rest taken to a charity shop.

Please can we ask, if you park at the very top of our nursery car park to be extra mindful of leaving your head lights on. This is causing visibility issues for parents pulling into the nursery car park. Please ensure your lights are off until you are leaving your parking bay.

If you are unable to turn off of your lights due to having automatic lights, could we ask you to park forwards into the bay instead of reversing into the bay.

Here is a complete over view of the meal times right across the nursery.

Norovirus

This afternoon we have received an email from Hertfordshire County Council regarding high number of Norovirus cases being reported in the community and outbreaks occurring in nurseries, and care homes.

Norovirus is easily transmitted through contact with people with the infection and any surfaces or objects which have been contaminated with the virus. Symptoms include sudden onset of nausea, projectile vomiting and diarrhoea but can also include a high temperature, abdominal pain and aching limbs.

What to do to stop the spread:

Exclude the infected individual until 48 hours after symptoms have stopped and they are well enough to return to their usual day to day activities. Encourage hand hygiene using soap and warm water.

Alcohol hand gels are not effective against norovirus. Clean and disinfect contaminated surfaces frequently using bleach- based cleaning products.

We currently have no confirmed cases of Norovirus at Wonderland.

Developing their finger muscles by practicing brushing their teeth. Using their imagination when learning about looking after others including bathing and giving their cuddly toys cuddles. Exploring our brand-new sensory room! This was a hit with all the children, and they showed such fascination with the bright lights and interactive environment.

Next week we will be...

Creating their very own Valentine’s Day love potions using red food colouring and water.

Taking part in a cooking activity where they made their own apple turnovers. They have been exploring crazy foam outside and have had lots of love exploring the Den and light tube in our new sensory room.

Next week we will be...

Listening to our favourite stories being told with the use of puppets and props. We will have a focus on number related songs during our daily rhyme time. We will also be concentrating on our physical development outside.
