Lost and Found Items
A
lots of clothing items have been left behind in the crèche for some time 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.
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.
·
Also if you would like
to include any information in the next newsletter please inform a member of
staff.
