November 2025

We hope you had a relaxing half-term break. Please see the academic calendar in 'key information', then 'term dates' for this year's academic calendar.  

As the weather is getting colder, please ensure that your child is always suitably dressed for the weather and that all clothing, including coats, hats, scarves and gloves are named. Please also ensure that your child has at least one spare change of clothing at nursery. 

If your child is born between 1st September 2021 and 31st August 2022, you will need to submit a starting school application by 15th January 2026.  Please see our 'starting school' page for information and links or speak to Lois if you have any questions. 

We are always here to help with any questions or support you may need around settling your child into nursery, toilet training, behaviour, sleeping, starting school applications … the list is endless.  One of us is usually at the gate when you drop or collect your child so, if we can help in any way, please come and speak to us (if you can't find us, just call or email).  The staff in your child’s class are happy to speak to you with more specific questions about the curriculum and nursery life, but please do contact us if you feel we can help.  Please also see the "Useful Links" page, which we hope you will find useful.   

Lois is also a “Domestic Abuse Responder” and our nursery is a BDAP (Bedfordshire Domestic Abuse Partnership) Support Hub, so please come and speak in confidence if you need any help or support.

Please ensure that your child has at least one spare change of clothes at nursery, including socks.  We also ask that your child does not bring any toys from home. It is easy for them to get lost at nursery, and it can be very upsetting when they cannot be found at home time. Due to serious allergies, our nursery is a nut-free setting so please do not bring nuts into the nursery in any form for any reason.

Please see our "Key Information" page for lots of useful information about nursery life.  If you have any questions, please do speak to us.
