We have been notified of a third case of chicken pox.  Please be alert and check your children.  Thanks Ally

Snapchat information

Snapchat – “dangerous new feature”
Surrey Police has issued a safety warning to children in the county using Snapchat. The
photo-inspired instant messaging app has released a potentially dangerous new feature
that shows everyone on your contact list exactly where you are at any point. Once you
update the app, your location will be instantly revealed.
Surrey Police said: “We are encouraging users to change their settings to ‘ghost mode’ to avoid sharing this
information. “If your children or other young people you know use Snapchat, encourage them to change
their settings too!”

Key rings on rucksacks

The new modernised key rings recently delivered have not been robust enough for the job on rucksacks.  We will be rolling out a new style from tomorrow.  Thanks

Flash uniform sale

From our flash uniform sale we raised £35.00 from second hand, pre-loved items.  This was a cash sale for stocking refreshments in the staff room.  We still have a few items left mainly one to two year old sizes.  Do ask if you wish to look.  We have seven families who still owe a small sum if they could bring the cash in, that would be great.  Thanks ALLY

Hatchlands Primary School

A Brand New Primary School bordering Redhill and Reigate is opening.  Flyers will start to go out in Hazel room (pre-school) children’s ruck sacks today.  Thanks

In and out gate codes

The room representatives requested a more complicated gate code.  This has been done today for this evenings pick up or whenever you are next in at nursery.  It will be texted out to the main contact of each individual family this afternoon.  Thanks Ally

Sajitha

Sajitha has joined our staff team as a Level 3 student from East Surrey College.   Sajitha will be working in all areas of the nursery.  We look forward to her getting to know the children and parents meeting her.  Here is her photograph.

We have a single case of Chicken Pox notified this morning.  Any pregnant mothers or parents with concerns should contact their G.P.’s.  Ally

Welcome Laura

Laura has joined the nursery staff team as a student from East Surrey College studying her Level 2 Childcare.  She will be with us for the foreseeable working across the nursery.

It is usual for students to work at nursery to gain experience.  Some parents will remember how many of my staff team have joined us via this route of learning.  We hope Laura settles in with us easily, particularly as a local resident and one highly recommended by NDN parents!

Manic Monsters/KidzFunZone

We have put randomly into as many ruck sacks as we could today, some manic monsters loyalty cards.  I am also in receipt of a couple of vouchers which I will pass to the room reps in pre-school if anyone particularly had an interest in them.
