Dear Parents & Carers,
We are now definitely getting ready for Christmas! The nursery is looking very festive!
Staffing: Next week Mrs Day will start her phased return. She will be doing 11am- 1pm each day. She is still wearing her boot but is very keen to come in and be with the children. She has missed them very much!
We have 3 new staff starting in January. Mrs Hebbert will be replacing Mrs Jackson as our class teacher. She has already been in to visit the orange group.
Holly Bradley will be starting her new role as office manager in the afternoons. Mrs Borland will also be starting as our new wraparound leader in the afternoons. We are really looking forward to welcoming them into team Tenterfield!
Christmas songs: we are learning lots of new songs ready for our Christmas sing-along next Friday. Mrs Jackson will be putting them on Tapestry so you can sing them together at home.
Christmas cards: if you have any old Christmas cards please bring them into nursery so the children can use them to make their own cards.
Junk modelling : we are very short of junk modelling resources. Please save your boxes and recyclable materials and bring them into nursery so the children can be creative with them!
Tenterfield Tinies: we have a session at the nursery on Friday 23rd dec 9.30-11am for children 3 and under and their siblings. Please come and have a play!
Don’t forget to follow Tenterfield Tinies on our Facebook page for all the latest information.
Petition: A petition has been started to increase funding for early years settings. Maintained nursery schools have been asked to encourage our parents to sign. We really appreciate your support.
