Welcome Back to Term 5 at Westlands Nursery!

We hope you and your families all had a fun and restful Easter break and are ready

for another exciting term at Westlands Nursery!

Westlands Nursery has a splendid term planned for all our rooms: with Nursery

Rhymes, hand-print piglets, scrambled snakes and The Gruffalo Café to look

forward to, amongst so much more!

The Baby Room has a whole lot of fun planned with Messy Play involving our

senses! Shaving foam, paint and jelly galore is to be expected; keep an eye on our

website for photos!

Be sure to keep up to date with all our news, stories and important updates on our

website:

westlandsnursery.org.uk

Here you will find all the latest from Westlands Nursery, including weekly photos

of what tremendous fun we’ve been up to!

If you would like to discuss any part of our Term, please get in touch via:

I, for one, am extremely excited about the upcoming term and I look forward to

sharing it with you all.

Caroline Taylor




Attendance

Please ensure your child is on time for their session.

Morning: 8:45am—11:45am

Afternoon: 12:30pm—3:30pm

Being on time for their session helps the children to settle more quickly into play.

Children can come to nursery on their scooters or bikes. However, please take these

home again as we don’t have anywhere to store them safely.

Please contact us to let us know if your child will not be attending their session. If

we don’t have accurate registers this can affect our funding - which could impact on

the resources we are able to provide for your children, as well as child safety.

Congratulations Samantha!We are delighted to introduce our new

Nursery Interim Deputy Manager;

Sam Mitchell!

Sam will be familiar to most of you as

she has been with the nursery for over

two years and her typical

ebullient enthusiasm is all the more

amplified as she is delighted to begin

her new role.

With a Level 2 and Level 3 CACHE

Diploma in Childcare and Education, 8

years of experience in Education

and a first aid qualification; we are, as

we have always been, extremely

fortunate to have her.

Welcome to your new post Sam!

World Book Day!

We had great fun on World Book Day with the children and staff both dressing up as characters from

their favourite book!

We had princesses, cowboys, superheroes and even Gruffalos! A splendid time had by all!




Easter Bonnet Parade!

There were some amazing creations of Easter Bonnets on the last day of term and even the weather

couldn’t dampen the children’s spirits!

Thank you to all those that came along and supported the afternoon, and enjoyed something yummy

from the cake sale.

We made a total of £127.00 which is truly amazing, so thank you very much.

This will help towards our outside play area which we are looking at improving for the children’s

learning and development.

What’s Going on in the Baby Room this Term?

We are exploring our senses through touch this term.

This includes lots of messy play!

If you have any sensory items e.g. various materials, pasta etc., that you would

like to donate to help enhance your child’s learning it would be very welcome.

Please be aware that during messy play our babies find aprons very restricting

and the staff will leave the babies in their vests.

There is a high chance they will get very messy whilst having such fun, so we do

ask that you provide old clothes so that your best clothes don’t

become damaged.

What’s Going on in the 2-3 and

the 3-5 Year Old Rooms this Term?

Our focus for this term is stories and nursery rhymes and are scheduled as follows:

Week 1: Goldilocks and the Three Bears

Week 2: Gingerbread Man

Week 3: The Three Little Pigs

Week 4: Jack and the Beanstalk

Week 5: Three Billy Goat Gruff and The Gruffalo

Week 6 & 7: Nursery Rhymes

If the children have any books or toys which relate to the topics and would like to

share them; please send them in.

Other toys (apart from comforters) should be left at home in case they are

broken or lost.
