Inwood Nursery • Oct 17, 2019

We would like to welcome all our “new starters” to the “Inwood 
Family” and hope you are now settling in to nursery. We would also like to welcome Ellen to the team. Ellen will be doing her Level 3 Apprenticeship with us.

We hope that everyone has enjoyed their summer holidays and still making the most of the sunshine whilst it still lasts and those who have siblings who started school this year have settled in well.

We trust you have enjoyed looking through your child’s profile book and have a greater understanding of how the new “In The Moment Planning” works and will work with us completing the “Interests and Events at Home Partnership with Parents Information Sheet”. If you have any questions or queries, please do not hesitate to speak to your child’s keyworker.

“Autumnal Season”

As we now approach the autumnal season, please could we remind Parents to bring in named coats and named “Wellie Boots” in order for the children to play outside whatever the weather is like.

Reminder clocks go back an hour on the evening of Saturday 26th October, so some Parents may get an extra hour lying!!!!!!  if you are lucky enough.

DEFIBRILLATOR TRAINING UPDATE:

As many of you know we are fund raising for our defibrillator, and as part of our fund raising efforts, we are offering CPR and defibrillation awareness training @ £10.00 donation. I have contacted the organisation running the training with several Saturday afternoon dates throughout September through to the end of October. Once the first responder confirms which Saturday, we will email out the details.
