We are holding our Pre-school Open Day on Tuesday, 28 June 2011 and you are warmly welcome to come and join us. The Pre-school will be opening its doors from 10 am till 12 noon to all children, parents, guardians and carers. Please come along and experience the welcoming atmosphere of our sessions. Have some fun with lots of activities on offer for the children, including dressing up, arts and crafts, and outside play equipment. Meet the staff and ask as many questions as you like. An Open Day is an excellent opportunity to have a look round the setting, meet our staff and pre-school committee members, ask questions you may have, and for your children to play and make some new friends. There will be tea, coffee and cakes served for the grown ups too.
If you have any friends or relatives who might be thinking of registering their children at our pre-school please bring them along. We have some vacancies for an immediate start.
There’s no need to book, just turn up!
As you know our pre-school is a non-profit organization which is run by the Committee of volunteers most of whom have children in the setting. We have regular Committee meetings where various pre-school issues are discussed. If you have any concerns, questions or ideas which you would like to be raised at our next Committee meeting please get in touch with us via e-mail or speak to a member of staff or a committee member. The dates of the next Committee meetings are 13 June 2011 and 13 July 2011.
We will be offering transition sessions in September – October for the pre-school children starting Bliss school this autumn. As you might already know, during the first term of the reception class your child will be attending reduced sessions at the Bliss school, they either do mornings or afternoons only. The school will advise you nearer the time which sessions your child will be attending. The children attending afternoon session at Bliss can use the Pre-school during the mornings (Monday to Friday).
For those attending morning sessions at Bliss, the Pre-school will be open during the afternoons on a Monday, Thursday and Friday. We will also operate a pick up and drop off scheme between the Pre-school and the School. This gets your child used to doing a full schooling day, gives your child some familiarity and helps you out with childcare. We introduced these sessions last year and received many positive comments from the parents who found this service invaluable. If your child does not currently attend our pre-school but you are interested in using this service in September – October please get in touch with us by e-mail and we will add your child’s name to our ‘Transition sessions to the Bliss school’ list.
Further details regarding the session’s length and the costs involved will follow shortly so watch this space…
Our Annual Sports Day will be held on Thursday, 7th July this year. It will take place on the Green from 09.15am – 11.30am. All pre-school children will be taking part and everyone is welcome – parents, grandparents, siblings and friends. For those children that do not normally attend the setting on a Thursday, they must remain your responsibility at all times. Please dress your child in appropriate comfortable clothing and trainers. If the weather is hot don’t forget hats and sun cream. There will be the opportunity to buy cakes, biscuits and drinks. Please come along and support us, it’ll be great fun.

FEBRUARY – 18th of February 2011 AM- Collection of Unwanted Items of Clothing
Children are forever growing out of clothes and sometimes there is no one else to pass them on to. We can help recycle all your old clothes and shoes and in turn help raise money for our pre-school. Here’s how, its very easy… We have arranged for the Fire Fighters Charity to come to pre-school and collect and then recycle your unwanted clothes and shoes. This will take place on Friday 18th of February 2011. The bags then get weighed and pre-school will get a cheque, so please help us raise as much money as possible and have a good clear out! Use bin liners or plastic bags; just remember to drop your full bags off on the morning of Friday, 18th of February.
