Last day of term party!

Whilst it is a shame that due to the current circumstances we were unable to celebrate and say goodbye to all of the children in the way we usually would, we hope everybody has kept safe and well, and has enjoyed the extra unplanned time with their families making memories!

The children that were with us on the last day of term enjoyed a picnic party in the garden, and the ice-cream van came to visit for an extra special treat!

We wish all of our children and their families the best of luck in the future as they start the next chapter in their education!

As the children are expected to return after the half term, we will no longer be providing activity packs for the children who are moving to school in September, as there will be the opportunity to them to take part in school readiness activities at nursery.
 
We need to know as quickly as possible if you will NOT be sending your child back to nursery as of 1st June 2020. If this is the case, please email Sue urgently at pierlodge@btconnect.com.
Please be advised that your child must be in good health before they return to nursery and not present with any symptoms.
