January Sale at Richford Street Day Nursery

Last modified on 2012-01-13 14:15:47 GMT. 0 comments. Top.

Here at Bringing Up Baby we understand that January can be a challenging month when trying to recover financially from the delights of Christmas and New year celebrations.

From the outset when Bringing Up Baby was first set up, we have always believed in good quality, affordable child care.

In order to help parents further with their childcare costs we are introducing our “January Sale “. For a limited period only, we will be not be charging a deposit and will only require a one-off payment which is non-refundable of £50.00 in place of the deposit.

The registration fee will still remain at £30.00 but now the costs of taking up a place at the nursery have been significantly reduced.

For further details or to arrange a visit to the nursery please contact our experienced nursery manager: Melissa Lewis on 020 8746 1015 or email email hidden; JavaScript is required

Posted by: Melissa (Nursery Manager)

Firstly I would like to say a big thank you for my welcome as Manager. It has been brilliant, and I am sure we will continue to work in partnership with each other to provide a high level of care.

We also want to congratulate:

Ewa on gaining her NVQ Level II qualification
Ripa on gaining her NVQ Level III qualification

We are always keen to train and develop our staff further and so our staff have recently undertaken the following:

First Aid: Melissa, Kad, Jackie, Ripa, Michelle O
Basic Food Hygiene: Melissa, Niguel
Health & Safety: Melissa
Safer Recruitment: Melissa

The whole staff team also attended a planning and observation evening with a curriculum development officer, Carlene from Hammersmith and Fulham. Carlene has also spent time in the nursery following up on this with staff.

The staff team will all undergo Safeguarding training at the end of October at one of our other nurseries.

New Activities:

We are very pleased to say we have now introduced French to the nursery. Sidy, from ‘Ooh La La’, attends the nursery every Friday afternoon 2-3pm.

We also have Poala from Yoga Bugs in the nursery on Tuesday morning for an hour (10 week course at £45).

New Menus:

We have recently reviewed our menus and have now put together a 6 week menu. We added in more multi-cultural meals and also removed some meals that were not so popular with the children.

Parents Communication Board:

We have recently started a parents’ communication board which is situated in the foyer. The board has been posted for you to have your say…it could be a thought, or suggestion, or maybe something you did at home on the weekend, feel free to share these with us and maybe we could do it too.

Upcoming Dates for the Diary:

Parents Evening: Thursday 3rd November 6.30 – 8pm
Children’s Christmas Party: Thursday 15th December 2.30 – 5pm

We have been taking advantage of the hot dry weather and spend a lot of time out in the garden. The children have become fascinated with insects and the earth and we now have trays of compost for them to dig about in and when we have finished with our water trays we empty them into the flower beds, so they are learning how to be ‘green’ too.

Melissa our senior in 2-3’s room is busy putting up new labels and pictures around the room to define the key areas, such as the book corner and home corner. The 3-5’s are still waiting for their home corner to be delivered and then their old one can go out in the garden.

We have Sports Day coming up in the beginning of August and we are having a Country & Western theme this year. Do look out for the photos they should be worth a browse!

Well we have had our fill of Easter eggs now and with the lovely sunny weather we should be able to burn them off with more outdoor play.

The garden is going to get a bit more attention over the coming weeks and months as we are going to be doing a lot more planting and even more weeding! The over twos have some flower seed trays and we are going to decorate some clay pots and troughs to go along the outside wall.

The 3-5s will be getting a new home corner set and to prepare for it the children have been doing activities around their home environment including family portraits which have given us some interesting results. The children have also received a camera as part of our ECAT scheme so they can photograph and record the things that interest them.

Our Parent Activity Boards are up and we have had some of the suggestion cards returned which are currently displayed on the board. Please do keep them coming as they are great for informing the staff about the things your child does at home.

In May we are going to have another ‘Pyjama Day’ as the last one was so popular and we have had many requests for a repeat. We will be raising money for the Brain Injury Unit which helps rehabilitate people who have suffered a brain injury.

Watch out for signs and posters for more details.
