Nursery: Welcome back to nursery 08.03.21

On Monday 8th March, Nursery will be opening its doors to welcome back all its children and some new children too.

Over the weekend it will be a good idea to talk about nursery if you haven’t already and to speak about the teachers and their friends. It may be good to try on uniform and have a practice at getting ready for nursery.

Here is a short video to show your child before Monday to refresh their memory of what nursery looks like.

If your child is a two year old that will be having their nappy changed, you may like to show them the picture below to remind them of where they will go with Mrs Ngenge to have their nappy changed.

15 hour and 2 year old AM children	8:30-11:30am

Top Tips for Monday

• Speak about Nursery positively on the way to school and talk about what your child might do when they get there. 

• Describe what is happening whilst walking up to the nursery welcome doors, ie we are walking to the gate and I can see lots of happy children going into school, we are walking down the windy path to find a spot to stand on.

• Get your child out of their buggy or put them down to walk in with you before you get on the school grounds, this helps with the separation, breaking it up into smaller steps.

• Encourage your child to use the hand sanitiser and then have a quick cuddle and say goodbye.

• Make sure you go off the site; if your child can see you it will be harder for them to settle into nursery.

Rest assured, if your child does not settle and is distressed we will give you a call to collect them earlier. 

Things to remember:

• Change of clothes in a name labelled bag

• Water Bottle with their name on

• Packed Lunch (30 hour children)

We will provide fresh fruit and vegetables for your child to eat as a snack should they get hungry.

We look forward to seeing you Monday! Please be aware that we will be focussing on getting all the children in safely so if you do have something to say either wait until the children are all in or send an email or if it isn’t urgent: eyfs@broadford.havering.sch.uk .

Kind regards,

The Nursery Team
