ASC/Nursery Invoices

Good Afternoon,

Unfortunately we are having issues logging into our online banking. We have been told  this should be resolved within ten working days.    Online payments made into the ASC/Nursery account in December can not be accessed by us therefore we are unable to  credit payments onto the January invoices.  This months invoices will be printed in mid January.  

If you would like to make a payment before you receive Januarys invoice you are welcome to ring the office where we will be able to tell you how much your child’s/children’s fees for this month will be.

Parents who pay by child care vouchers are not affected and will receive their invoice on time.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Kind regards

 

Winter Wonderland

Dear Parents/Carers,

It was so lovely to actually get out in our Winter Wonderland today.

As you can see, I was having a marvellous time too with Alan the Christmas bear!

The children just love someone from their family coming to school, so they can show off what they do and the environments they have.

The weather has been a real challenge, but in true Newdale style, we have not been defeated! If your child’s event was postponed due to the vile weather, you will now know of the rescheduled date and time.

If the weather deteriorates again, we will move to our hall plan b.

Just a reminder about footwear. Basecamp is rather muddy/slippery and hence sturdy shoes or wellies are recommended!

Kind regards,

Miss Cook

Headteacher

Nursery ‘Winter Wonderland’

Christmas plans!

Dear parents / carers,

Our Basecamp at the area at the front of school will be turned into a ‘Winter Wonderland’ experience. We have asked the elves to start planning this wonderful event!

We will be inviting Ladybugs, Mighty Oaks and children who do not normally attend the Nursery on a Tuesday to visit the Winter Wonderland experience, each child will be allowed to invite one adult to accompany them – this may be any adult you would like to attend. We know that some parents will be disappointed as only one adult can attend per child, but we have to play it as safely as we can in order to protect children and staff as we approach the Christmas holiday. Please can we ask that you stick to one adult so that we can manage numbers safely.  The experience will last approximately half an hour.  Which will include ‘a Christmas sing a long’. There will be a small gift for every child. We will be offering hot chocolate and a festive treat to all who attend and only ask that you bring your own mug for your and your child (we are doing our bit for the environment!) and make a donation which this year is going towards purchases for the All Nations Community Grocery  communitygrocery.org.uk/telford 

On the day of the experience, children will be invited to come to Nursery in their Christmas jumpers / hats – you are more than welcome to get into the spirit too!

The date for the Nursery visit is Tuesday 7th December.  Information regarding time  slots for your child will be sent home this week.

We will be watching the weather forecast closely and we hope that the weather is on our side! Likewise, we will be monitoring the situation with regards to covid and following all recommended guidance. Should we need to make any changes, we will try to let you know as soon as possible.

We hope that you will be able to join us in celebrating Christmas this year.

Kind regards

Miss Cook
