May 2025

Please note that nursery is closed to all term-time children for the May half term holidays from Monday 26th May to Monday 2nd June - all children return on Tuesday 3rd June.  Nursery is also closed to all children on Monday 2nd June as we have a staff training day.

Please see the academic calendar in 'key information' then 'term dates' for holiday dates for the remainder of this year.

Please ensure your child is always appropriately dressed for the weather and, even when the weather is hot, please ensure your child has appropriate footwear for playing outdoors.  Sliders and flip-flops are not safe for climbing, running and nursery play. During hot weather, please apply sun cream to your child before they come to nursery.  If your child stays all day, please provide us with a named bottle of sun cream to leave at nursery and staff will re-apply after lunch.

I am 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.  I am usually at the gate at 8.45am and 3.00pm, so if I can help in any way, please come and speak to me - if you can't find me, 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 me if you feel I can help.  Please also see the "Useful Links" page, which I hope you will find of use.   

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

Please also 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.

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