Wonderland Weekly News

WC 6th February 2023

A big thank you to those parents who give us a call to let us know that they are stuck in traffic or are running late to collect their child at the end of their nursery session.

If you are regularly late to collect your child after the 6pm session finish time we will have to add a late collection charge to your next invoice, regardless of the 15 minute rule.

Please be mindful that staff members have their own children to collect after their shift has finished, their own appointments to attend once their working day is complete as well as catching the unreliable public transport home.

If you do arrive after 6pm, we are unfortunately not able to give a full handover. However we will of course hand over important information regarding your child’s day.

We thank you for your cooperation and understanding in this matter.

Did you know you can share what your child has been getting up to outside of nursery care by uploading an observation to your child’s Tapestry Account? This will support the Wonderland Team in ensuring your child’s individual interests are supported within their time at nursery. If you are unsure of how to do this, please ask a member of the Wonderland Team.

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.

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

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.

Exploring the gardens outdoor equipment such as the swing and slide. Developing their imagination by pretending to call their Mummies and Daddy’s on the phone sing various objects such as blocks and books. The children really enjoyed filling and emptying different materials out of various containers and became very intrigued with the sounds they made when being transported.

Next week we will be...

Creating their own valentine’s day cards as well as getting messy in a Goldilocks and the three bears inspired tuff tray. The children will also be creating their very own bear masks.

Exploring a variety of textures and learning to incorporate new words into their vocabulary such as soft, hard, and wet. They have really enjoyed using the cylinder prints to create different images in the playdough.

Next week we will be...

Getting messy with Spaghetti. Creating our very own Apple turnovers developing our bakery skills and exploring our physical skills with a fun obstacle course.
