Messages.
Another big thank you to all of you who sent in a family photo. As I am sure you are aware the children have numerous objectives they need to meet by the end of their time in the Nursery. A number of the objectives revolve around discussing their family so please, please send in a family photo (If you haven’t already done so) so we can mark of the objectives for your child.

We have had some fantastic weather recently, as previously mentioned, please remember that most of the children spend a large proportion of their session in the outside area. If the sun is out, please ensure your child is adequately prepared. You need to be applying sun cream to your child before their session and a sun hat would also be desirable (with their name in).

We invite you to join us for our Summer Stay and Play picnic. This will be held in our outdoor play area between 11.30 and 1pm. Please bring a picnic with you.

Our summer school trip letter has been sent home this week. This will mean a full day for all the Nursery children, arriving by 9am and being collected at 3pm

Thank you for your continued support.

Kind Regards

The Nursery Team


Oh! I do like to be beside the seaside


Oh! I do like to be beside the seaside
I do like to be beside the sea!
I do like to stroll upon the Prom, Prom, Prom!
Where the brass bands play: "Tiddely-om-pom-pom!"

So just let me be beside the seaside
I'll be beside myself with glee
For there's lots of girls besides,
I should like to be beside
Beside the seaside! Beside the sea!

Head shoulders Knees and toes

Head and shoulders knees and toes
Knees and toes
Head and shoulders knees and toes
Knees and toes
And eyes and ears
And mouth and nose
Head and shoulders knees and toes
Knees and toes
