3-5’s Graduation Party
We are pleased to share with you that this year we can have our Graduation Party for our 3-5 children who will be leaving Wonderland during the Summer Term.
We will be inviting two adults per child (who is leaving Wonderland) to join us on:
Thursday 21st July – 2:45pm – 4:00pm
Our party will take place within our nursery garden, where the children will have a Graduation presentation and a party tea.
If your child does not attend Wonderland on a Thursday afternoon but they are leaving Wonderland during this coming Summer Term, they are more than welcome to come into Wonderland to be a part of the Graduation celebrations during this time.
If you would like to attend our Graduation Party, please email Emma Edwards to book your place:

CCTV update
You may have noticed already but we have had new CCTV cameras fitted to the sides of the nursery building to ensure we have 24 hour CCTV coverage right across the outside of our nursery.
Is your child leaving Wonderland this year to move onto a school or another Pre-school setting?
If your child is leaving Wonderland this summer, please ensure you have given one months notice of their last day at Wonderland in writing. An email to either Emma Edwards or Corrin Burdis will be fine.
This is to ensure your invoices are correct before they are sent out to you. If your child has a funded place at Wonderland, please remember that the Summer Terms funding finishes on the 21st July 2022. Any sessions after this date will be charged at Wonderland’s current nurseries fees.
Sun hats and sun cream
Please can we ask that all children have a named sunhat with them at nursery at all times. The children explore the nursery gardens throughout the nursery day, when it is safe for them to do so. But we must ensure they are also wearing a sun hat and sun cream.
