WELCOME
Welcome back to all our children
who are either coming back into
Nursery or have moved into Pre-
school. Also a big welcome to all
our new children and parents
who have joined us this term.
The children are starting to settle
into their new routines, some
may take longer to settle than
others. If you have any concerns
please speak to your childs key-
worker, they are there to work
with you and your child to ensure
they have the best possible expe-
rience here at playgroup.
We would also like to welcome
a new member of staff—
Michelle Millward. Michelle
will be working in Nursery 2.
Uniform
Unfortunately our suppliers are
experiencing problems with
stock and at the moment polo
tops and tshirts are not availa-
ble to order until mid Novem-
ber. This is obviously quite
frustrating for all of us as we
would like our children to be
wearing the uniform as soon as
possible.

who have joined us this term.
The children are starting to settle
into their new routines, some
may take longer to settle than
others. If you have any concerns
please speak to your childs key-
worker, they are there to work
with you and your child to ensure
they have the best possible expe-
rience here at playgroup.
We would also like to welcome
a new member of staff—
Michelle Millward. Michelle

Uniform
Unfortunately our suppliers are
experiencing problems with
stock and at the moment polo
tops and tshirts are not availa-
ble to order until mid Novem-
ber. This is obviously quite
frustrating for all of us as we
would like our children to be
wearing the uniform as soon as
possible.

frustrating for all of us as we

wearing the uniform as soon as
possible.

WELCOME
Welcome back to all our children
who are either coming back into

with you and your child to ensure
they have the best possible expe-
rience here at playgroup.

tops and tshirts are not availa-
ble to order until mid Novem-

frustrating for all of us as we
would like our children to be
wearing the uniform as soon as
possible.

WELCOME
Welcome back to all our children
who are either coming back into

with you and your child to ensure
they have the best possible expe-
rience here at playgroup.

tops and tshirts are not availa-
ble to order until mid Novem-

frustrating for all of us as we
would like our children to be
wearing the uniform as soon as
possible.

frustrating for all of us as we
would like our children to be
wearing the uniform as soon as

WELCOME
Welcome back to all our children
who are either coming back into

may take longer to settle than
others. If you have any concerns
please speak to your childs key-

rience here at playgroup.

stock and at the moment polo
tops and tshirts are not availa-
ble to order until mid Novem-

frustrating for all of us as we
would like our children to be
wearing the uniform as soon as
possible.

WELCOME
Welcome back to all our children
who are either coming back into
Nursery or have moved into Pre-

our new children and parents

The children are starting to settle

may take longer to settle than
others. If you have any concerns
please speak to your childs key-
worker, they are there to work
with you and your child to ensure
they have the best possible expe-
rience here at playgroup.

Unfortunately our suppliers are
experiencing problems with
stock and at the moment polo
tops and tshirts are not availa-
ble to order until mid Novem-
ber. This is obviously quite
frustrating for all of us as we
would like our children to be
wearing the uniform as soon as
possible.

WELCOME
Welcome back to all our children
who are either coming back into
Nursery or have moved into Pre-
school. Also a big welcome to all
our new children and parents
who have joined us this term.
The children are starting to settle
into their new routines, some
may take longer to settle than
others. If you have any concerns
please speak to your childs key-
worker, they are there to work
with you and your child to ensure
they have the best possible expe-
rience here at playgroup.
We would also like to welcome
a new member of staff—

Uniform
Unfortunately our suppliers are
experiencing problems with
stock and at the moment polo
tops and tshirts are not availa-
ble to order until mid Novem-
ber. This is obviously quite
frustrating for all of us as we
would like our children to be
wearing the uniform as soon as
possible.

WELCOME
Welcome back to all our children
who are either coming back into
Nursery or have moved into Pre-
school. Also a big welcome to all
our new children and parents
who have joined us this term.
The children are starting to settle
into their new routines, some
may take longer to settle than
others. If you have any concerns
please speak to your childs key-
worker, they are there to work
with you and your child to ensure
they have the best possible expe-
rience here at playgroup.
We would also like to welcome
a new member of staff—

Uniform
Unfortunately our suppliers are
experiencing problems with
stock and at the moment polo
tops and tshirts are not availa-
ble to order until mid Novem-
ber. This is obviously quite
frustrating for all of us as we
would like our children to be
wearing the uniform as soon as
possible.

WELCOME
Welcome back to all our children
who are either coming back into
Nursery or have moved into Pre-
school. Also a big welcome to all
our new children and parents
who have joined us this term.
The children are starting to settle
into their new routines, some
may take longer to settle than
others. If you have any concerns
please speak to your childs key-
worker, they are there to work
with you and your child to ensure
they have the best possible expe-
rience here at playgroup.
We would also like to welcome
a new member of staff—
Michelle Millward. Michelle

Uniform
Unfortunately our suppliers are
experiencing problems with
stock and at the moment polo
tops and tshirts are not availa-
ble to order until mid Novem-
ber. This is obviously quite
frustrating for all of us as we
would like our children to be
wearing the uniform as soon as
possible.

WELCOME
Welcome back to all our children
who are either coming back into
Nursery or have moved into Pre-
school. Also a big welcome to all
our new children and parents
who have joined us this term.
The children are starting to settle
into their new routines, some
may take longer to settle than
others. If you have any concerns
please speak to your childs key-
worker, they are there to work
with you and your child to ensure
they have the best possible expe-
rience here at playgroup.
We would also like to welcome
a new member of staff—
Michelle Millward. Michelle
will be working in Nursery 2.
Uniform
Unfortunately our suppliers are
experiencing problems with
stock and at the moment polo
tops and tshirts are not availa-
ble to order until mid Novem-
ber. This is obviously quite
frustrating for all of us as we
would like our children to be
wearing the uniform as soon as
possible.

WELCOME
Welcome back to all our children
who are either coming back into
Nursery or have moved into Pre-
school. Also a big welcome to all
our new children and parents
who have joined us this term.
The children are starting to settle
into their new routines, some
may take longer to settle than
others. If you have any concerns
please speak to your childs key-
worker, they are there to work
with you and your child to ensure
they have the best possible expe-
rience here at playgroup.
We would also like to welcome
a new member of staff—
Michelle Millward. Michelle
will be working in Nursery 2.
Uniform
Unfortunately our suppliers are
experiencing problems with
stock and at the moment polo
tops and tshirts are not availa-
ble to order until mid Novem-
ber. This is obviously quite
frustrating for all of us as we
would like our children to be
wearing the uniform as soon as
possible.

into their new routines, some
may take longer to settle than
others. If you have any concerns
please speak to your childs key-
worker, they are there to work
with you and your child to ensure
they have the best possible expe-
rience here at playgroup.
We would also like to welcome
a new member of staff—
Michelle Millward. Michelle
will be working in Nursery 2.
Uniform
Unfortunately our suppliers are
experiencing problems with
stock and at the moment polo
tops and tshirts are not availa-
ble to order until mid Novem-
ber. This is obviously quite
frustrating for all of us as we
would like our children to be
wearing the uniform as soon as
possible.
