Autumn term 2: Monday 3rd November – Friday 19th December 2025
Opening Hours are 7.45 am - 5.30pm

A very warm welcome back to preschool!

Our theme for this term is ‘Changes’. We’ll be exploring different kinds of changes around us — such as changes in the weather, temperature, and materials (like ice and snow), as well as changes in ourselves as we grow and develop. The concept of change will run through all areas of our learning this term.

As we move closer to Christmas, we’ll also be busy creating our usual festive masterpieces!

This year, we have decided not to hold a traditional nativity performance, as we feel it can cause unnecessary stress for both children and staff. Instead, we’ll be creating a digital memory — a special slideshow/video that includes all the children and captures their Christmas preparations and celebrations.

We’re looking forward to a joyful and creative term full of learning and festive fun!

In order to keep preschool illness free, we ask that if your child is unwell or that you have had to administer Calpol or Ibuprofen

DO NOT SEND THEM IN.

Reporting an Absence from Preschool

The current legislation is that children and staff should remain at home for 48 hours after the last bout of diarrhoea or vomiting.

Many Thanks.

NO TOYS AT PRE-SCHOOL!

Please DO NOT allow your child to bring toys to preschool.
They get lost, broken and can cause a choking hazard if not age appropriate.

Thank you for your co-operation.

As we will be doing LOTS of craft activities this term please ensure children are NOT dressed in their best clothes. As much a we try to encourage children to wear aprons sometimes paint on clothing cannot be helped. 

If you would like to donate items on our wish list we would be very grateful:

Plain Flour

Salt

Jars of mince meat

Sultanas

Light brown sugar

Mixed spice

Dried mixed fruit

As you can see from the above we will be making individual Christmas cakes.

Remember to re confirm your 30-hour Eligibility every 3 months.

Pupil Premium/ 9 month-2-year funding / 30 hours funding is available to help with childcare costs please speak to the office for more information.

Staff Update

This term, we are delighted to welcome Maria, who has joined our team from Brighstone Preschool. She has settled in wonderfully and is already a valued member of our staff.

It has also been lovely having Jack with us this term. He has made a fantastic impression on the children and has quickly become a popular part of our team.
