Autumn 2009 News

Posted by bringingupbaby under: Kentish Town .

We welcome to the staff team two new nursery practitioners who have recently joined us here at Kentish Town.

Habeeb NVQ Level 3 (Nursery practitioner under twos room) and Bushra NVQ Level 2 (Nursery practitioner over twos room). Both have had experience working with children under fives.

We also welcome to the team our new nursery cook Neville who comes with a wealth of experience of cooking in nurseries.

Sadly we will be saying goodbye to Niroshani on Friday 27th November as she goes off on her maternity leave. We wish her all the best for her new arrival in January.

Nursery room news

Hooray – we have welcomed new children and also those who have transitioned from the under two’s room into the over two’s room. All are doing very well in their new environment and are becoming familiar with their new routines. Both the children and the key persons of each child have started to build positive relationships between them. The children are enjoying exploring and experimenting with all the new challenges.

We have also welcomed some new children in the under twos room who are gradually settling into their new environment and with their key persons.

Celebrations

During this season we have focused on many different cultural celebrations with the children. They have learnt about Eid the Muslim New Year, Diwali the celebration of light followed by all Hindus, and the Jewish New Year Rosh (Hashanah). The children enjoyed learning all about these festivals and also all the activities that related to them.

Staff/Parent quiz night

Thank you to all the parents that attended our quiz night. It was a great evening had by both staff and parents. We decided to have two groups’ mums’ verses dads. After a nail biting tie breaker question congratulations went to the winning team which were the mums. They were very happy with their prize, each taking home a box of chocolates. The quiz questions were delivered by our lovely quiz master – the one and only carol. Of course as the evening came to an end no one wanted to go home after so much fun and socialising.

We look forward to doing it all again next year and welcome more parent participation.
