Mother Hubbards Childcare Ongar Newsletter
September 2010
Welcome
to our first newsletter of the new school year.
This month we would like to welcome all of the new children who started
with us at the beginning of September and their parents. We hope you are all very happy here at Mother
Hubbards.
Happy

This
month we would like to wish the following children a very big Happy Birthday:

Congratulations
We use
the opportunity to say big congratulations to our area manager, Catherine and
her family on the arrival of their new baby boy. We wish them all the
happiness.
Reminders.
- We would like to remind parents that if you have not
brought in a spare set of clothes for your child could you do so as soon
as possible. It is very important that we have them in case of emergency.
The following clothes should be provided a t-shirt, sweater, underpants,
trousers, socks and a vest. After school children are encouraged to bring
in a change of clothes so they can change out of their uniforms. Please
remember to label all your child’s belongings and school bags to prevent
mix up.
- We would also like to remind all parents that children
should not bring in their own toys to crèche. As you can understand we do
not want children’s toys to go home damaged in any way and bringing them
in can cause great confusion to other children who think they belong to
the crèche. This can cause unwanted bickering and unease amongst the
children.
- We also want to remind some parents who have borrowed
booster seats from the crèche to please return them as we need all seats now
for school runs.
- A lots of clothing items have been left behind in the
crèche for sometime now. We are requesting parents to check out these
items to see if any belongs to them. The boxes containing the items are in
the downstairs hallway and will be kept for another month, after which
they will be sent to charity organisations. Thank you.
Information: Internet Safety Tips for Parents
It is coming up to the start of a
new academic year and technology is everywhere around us in computers, iphones,
ipods and ipads, just to name a few! While technology is a useful
tool, we also need to be careful that it is being used appropriately by
children and that they are aware of the potential dangers and pitfalls. For more information on this, please visit :www.earlychildhoodireland.ie/for-parents-childcare-search/technology-and-children/internet-safety-tips-for-parents-and-practitioners/
