Welcome to our Nursery Newsletter. We hope you are having a lovely weekend.

Christmas has begun in the Nursery and the very important job of letting Father Christmas know what the children want is nearly complete.
Next week (2nd and 3rd December)we will be walking to the post box to post our Father Christmas letters.If you would rather your child did not take part in this activity please let us know.

We will once again be letting the children have the opportunity to make their own snack.

If you have any worries about toileting, feeding ,sleeeping etc please feel to mention it to Nursery staff. We would like to call on health care professionals if you would like some support with an area of development.

If you have any Nursery clothes please send them back as we are running a little short of clothes and in particular socks.

Some of our parents have been asking us about applying for a Reception place.
Even though your child is attending Mead nursery you  must apply for a place through Havering Admissions. You must apply for a primary school place by 15 January.
Thank you to the parents who joined one of our school tours. It was lovely to see you.
Thank you to all those parents who have already completed their appication. Feel free to ask Nursery staff if you need support with this.

Could we ask our parents of the 30 hour children to make sure they have re validated their codes for January.Thank you.

Thank you so much to those parents that have been working on their child`s independance with putting their coat on. This is going so well, we really do appreciate your support.

We hope you have been able to find a family picture. We now have a few in but would really like more. Please send these in and we will display these in our home corner. This is a really nice way of maintaining the connection between home and school.
