WELCOME

Welcome back to all our children

who are either coming back into

Nursery or have moved into Pre-

school. Also a big welcome to all

our new children and parents

who have joined us this term.

The children are starting to settle

into their new routines, some

may take longer to settle than

others. If you have any concerns

please speak to your childs key-

worker, they are there to work

with you and your child to ensure

they have the best possible expe-

rience here at playgroup.

We would also like to welcome

a new member of staff—

Michelle Millward. Michelle

will be working in Nursery 2.

Uniform

Unfortunately our suppliers are

experiencing problems with

stock and at the moment polo

tops and tshirts are not availa-

ble to order until mid Novem-

ber. This is obviously quite

frustrating for all of us as we

would like our children to be

wearing the uniform as soon as

possible.

tops and tshirts are not availa-

ble to order until mid Novem-

frustrating for all of us as we

would like our children to be

wearing the uniform as soon as

possible.

frustrating for all of us as we

wearing the uniform as soon as

possible.

WELCOME

Welcome back to all our children

who are either coming back into

rience here at playgroup.

WELCOME

Welcome back to all our children

who are either coming back into

Nursery or have moved into Pre-

our new children and parents

others. If you have any concerns

please speak to your childs key-

worker, they are there to work

with you and your child to ensure

they have the best possible expe-

rience here at playgroup.

experiencing problems with

stock and at the moment polo

tops and tshirts are not availa-

ble to order until mid Novem-

ber. This is obviously quite

frustrating for all of us as we

would like our children to be

wearing the uniform as soon as

possible.

WELCOME

Welcome back to all our children

who are either coming back into

Nursery or have moved into Pre-

school. Also a big welcome to all

our new children and parents

who have joined us this term.

The children are starting to settle

into their new routines, some

may take longer to settle than

others. If you have any concerns

please speak to your childs key-

worker, they are there to work

with you and your child to ensure

they have the best possible expe-

rience here at playgroup.

experiencing problems with

stock and at the moment polo

tops and tshirts are not availa-

ble to order until mid Novem-

ber. This is obviously quite

frustrating for all of us as we

would like our children to be

wearing the uniform as soon as

possible.

WELCOME

Welcome back to all our children

who are either coming back into

Nursery or have moved into Pre-

our new children and parents

The children are starting to settle

may take longer to settle than

others. If you have any concerns

please speak to your childs key-

worker, they are there to work

with you and your child to ensure

they have the best possible expe-

rience here at playgroup.

Uniform

Unfortunately our suppliers are

experiencing problems with

stock and at the moment polo

tops and tshirts are not availa-

ble to order until mid Novem-

ber. This is obviously quite

frustrating for all of us as we

would like our children to be

wearing the uniform as soon as

possible.

frustrating for all of us as we

would like our children to be

wearing the uniform as soon as

frustrating for all of us as we

would like our children to be

wearing the uniform as soon as

WELCOME

Welcome back to all our children

who are either coming back into

Nursery or have moved into Pre-

school. Also a big welcome to all

our new children and parents

who have joined us this term.

The children are starting to settle

into their new routines, some

may take longer to settle than

others. If you have any concerns

please speak to your childs key-

worker, they are there to work

with you and your child to ensure

they have the best possible expe-

rience here at playgroup.

Uniform

Unfortunately our suppliers are

experiencing problems with

stock and at the moment polo

tops and tshirts are not availa-

ble to order until mid Novem-

ber. This is obviously quite

frustrating for all of us as we

would like our children to be

wearing the uniform as soon as

possible.

WELCOME

Welcome back to all our children

who are either coming back into

frustrating for all of us as we

would like our children to be

wearing the uniform as soon as

possible.

WELCOME

Welcome back to all our children

who are either coming back into

Nursery or have moved into Pre-

school. Also a big welcome to all

our new children and parents

who have joined us this term.

The children are starting to settle

into their new routines, some

may take longer to settle than

others. If you have any concerns

please speak to your childs key-

worker, they are there to work

with you and your child to ensure

they have the best possible expe-

rience here at playgroup.

Uniform

Unfortunately our suppliers are

experiencing problems with

stock and at the moment polo

tops and tshirts are not availa-

ble to order until mid Novem-

ber. This is obviously quite

frustrating for all of us as we

would like our children to be

wearing the uniform as soon as

possible.

WELCOME

Welcome back to all our children

who are either coming back into

Nursery or have moved into Pre-

school. Also a big welcome to all

our new children and parents

who have joined us this term.

The children are starting to settle

into their new routines, some

may take longer to settle than

others. If you have any concerns

please speak to your childs key-

worker, they are there to work

with you and your child to ensure

they have the best possible expe-

rience here at playgroup.

We would also like to welcome

a new member of staff—

Michelle Millward. Michelle

Uniform

Unfortunately our suppliers are

experiencing problems with

stock and at the moment polo

tops and tshirts are not availa-

ble to order until mid Novem-

ber. This is obviously quite

frustrating for all of us as we

would like our children to be

wearing the uniform as soon as

possible.

WELCOME

Welcome back to all our children

who are either coming back into

Nursery or have moved into Pre-

school. Also a big welcome to all

our new children and parents

who have joined us this term.

The children are starting to settle

into their new routines, some

may take longer to settle than

others. If you have any concerns

please speak to your childs key-

worker, they are there to work

with you and your child to ensure

they have the best possible expe-

rience here at playgroup.

We would also like to welcome

a new member of staff—

Michelle Millward. Michelle

will be working in Nursery 2.

Uniform

Unfortunately our suppliers are

experiencing problems with

stock and at the moment polo

tops and tshirts are not availa-

ble to order until mid Novem-

ber. This is obviously quite

frustrating for all of us as we

would like our children to be

wearing the uniform as soon as

possible.

WELCOME

Welcome back to all our children

who are either coming back into

Nursery or have moved into Pre-

school. Also a big welcome to all

our new children and parents

who have joined us this term.

The children are starting to settle

into their new routines, some

may take longer to settle than

others. If you have any concerns

please speak to your childs key-

worker, they are there to work

with you and your child to ensure

they have the best possible expe-

rience here at playgroup.

We would also like to welcome

a new member of staff—

Michelle Millward. Michelle

will be working in Nursery 2.

Uniform

Unfortunately our suppliers are

experiencing problems with

stock and at the moment polo

tops and tshirts are not availa-

ble to order until mid Novem-

ber. This is obviously quite

frustrating for all of us as we

would like our children to be

wearing the uniform as soon as

possible.

our new children and parents

who have joined us this term.

The children are starting to settle

into their new routines, some

may take longer to settle than

others. If you have any concerns

please speak to your childs key-

worker, they are there to work

with you and your child to ensure

they have the best possible expe-

rience here at playgroup.

We would also like to welcome

a new member of staff—

Uniform

Unfortunately our suppliers are

experiencing problems with

stock and at the moment polo

tops and tshirts are not availa-

ble to order until mid Novem-

ber. This is obviously quite

frustrating for all of us as we

would like our children to be

wearing the uniform as soon as

possible.

frustrating for all of us as we

would like our children to be

wearing the uniform as soon as

possible.
