Welcome to Caterpillars and Butterflies
Our teacher is Miss Clough, who is accompanied by Mrs Pedersen-Wylie and Mrs McNally.
We like to explore and have fun.
Please remember to…
- Name all of your child’s clothes, shoes and any items that they bring into Nursey.
- Drop off and collect your child on time.
- Encourage your child to look in their tray for pictures, letters, jumpers and models.
- Hand lunch time cover money in every Monday in a named envelope (30 hour children).
- Resist the temptation to do everything for your child and encourage them to try and do it for themselves. E.G. dressing and toileting.
- Remember that no worry is too small, if you are concerned about your child please let us know so that we can help.
