to say a big thank you to all who have made donations for the Barnardos
dressing up & fund raising last month. Your kind gesture is well
appreciated.
Weather
As the
weather is getting colder could all parents please send in a suitable coat and
a hat, scarf and gloves for their child for outdoor play. Wellies and raincoats should be provided for
wet days. You can label these items and
leave them in the centre if you wish to do so.
Hand
Sanitizer
We
would like to remind all parents to use the hand sanitizer in the hallway
(located at the entrance) when entering and exiting the building to help stop
the spread of infection in the centre especially that is winter time and
parents who go to Baby room and Wobbler room please use the shoe cover to
prevent infection around.

Info on Children’s Right Referendum
It may be of interest to you to know what is next with
the passing of the Children’s right referendum last week.
The referendum was carried with the Yes
side securing 58% of the vote and the No side getting 42%. While we are
disappointed that turnout was just 33.49%, in real terms, 1,066,239 people
voted (that’s almost one adult for every child in Ireland today) – out of a total
electorate of 3,183,239. For more
