Our Half Termly Newsletter is sent out from Amanda our Nursery Manager to all parents/carers . This contains all Nursery updates, reminders and important information.
What did we do throughout the month of June?
The June heatwave meant lots of time playing with water, in the shade and of course, an ice lolly every now and again! We celebrated the male role models in the children’s lives with a Father’s Day breakfast or afternoon cookie and we began to harvest our vegetables, starting with our potatoes and carrots. We continue to visit the Woodland Play area on a Wednesday morning, where the children’s tree climbing and den building confidence is growing all the time and we continued our book of the fortnight with We’re Going On A Bear Hunt and Room On The Broom.

What did we do throughout the month of July?
July was a busy one! All our pre school children visited the schools they will be attending in September and in turn, all the nursery new starters visited us with their grown ups. We watched the school play dress rehearsal and we went on our summer trip, this year to Audley End Miniature Railway, where we had a fabulous day finding fairies and riding on the train. Before we finished for the summer holidays, we had a work experience student come to play for a few days, before having our summer party with entertainment from Singsational Tots. We then sent our nursery leavers off in style with a certificate presentation. Vikki Bourne-Nursery Deputy Manager
What did we do throughout the month of September?
We returned to nursery in the first week of September, after our Summer break. We welcomed some new faces and some familiar ones and over the month, we have all been getting to know each other, or catching up and getting to know our nursery routines. It is always lovely to see how much our returning children have grown up over the summer and always emotional watching our July leavers starting reception. We have also received delivery of some exciting new play equipment, which we ordered in July. It hasn’t been put together yet, but we are all very excited to get to play on our new monkey bars!

Fundraising
We have various fundraising activities throughout the year, many are ones that the children can participate in making it a fun way to raise money for Nursery resources.
Since September 2025 we have raised approximately £1781.86 carrying out various activities such as our pancake toddle, sponsored find, nursery photographs, children’s Christmas artwork and our Christmas hamper raffle, as well as selling unwanted clothing donations on our Vinted account.
Feedback
We value all feedback as this helps us look at all aspects of the nursery, what we have done well and what potential improvements that could be made going forward. These were some of the comments put forward to us for last year:
“We cannot praise the team enough for everything that they have done to aid my sons learning and development. Each staff member having their own unique expertise which in turn makes for a strong team”
“My child has flourished since starting at nursery and we can only put this down to the range of activities she is exposed to and the outstanding care.”
“The staff have cared and supported our son extremely well, with kindness and a real interest in him as an individual.”
“Thank you for providing a warm, safe, fun environment for my son.“
“We would have no hesitation in recommending you as a setting and would like to thank you for being part of our child’s life.”
“We are sad to be leaving, the environment that is created makes me and my husband feel confident and reassured that our child is safe and happy.”
“We couldn’t ask for better day care – welcoming, dedicated and an unwavering team, fantastic facilities….the nursery is second to none.”
“Fantastic nursery! My child loves coming to nursery and telling me all about her day. Nowhere else compares!”
