Seesaw Nursery 1 Newsletter - September 2023

Seesaw would like to welcome you back to nursery and say a big hello to all the new starters. We hope you had a good summer and are ready for another exciting year of fun and learning.

Essential items for Nursery

-Could all children please bring a change of clothes to nursery (more if toilet training) and/ or nappies (if required).

-Please ensure your child has a coat and suitable footwear every day (Named if possible)

-Please could you bring in some family photos (with names of the people on the back). These may be cut so you may want to bring copies.

Staff changes

The managers in both Seesaw nurseries have swapped over. Becky is the manager at Seesaw 1 and Laura is now at Seesaw 2.

Alyssia has moved over to Seesaw 1 from Seesaw 2. Alyssia will be group leader in the 2-3 group.

Kirsty has moved over to Seesaw 1 from Seesaw 2. Kirsty will be working in Preschool.

Polite reminders

-Please remember to make sure you shut all gates behind you.

-We would like to remind you that no toys should be brought into nursery, only a

comfort item (if needed).

Thank you.

Payments

We hope you all have received and understand the letter regarding paying in advance (1st of each month). If you pay weekly your payment must be paid in advance by the Monday of each week. There will be a £5 daily late payment charge for up to 5 days after the payment is due. If the payment has not been received by day 5, we will sadly have to withdraw your child’s place…

Could we also remind you that when paying your child’s nursery fees, that you put the reference as: SS1 (child’s name). This helps us identify your payment from our other nursery and from children with a similar name.

Applying for school

If your child turns 4 before the 31st of August 2024 you can apply for a school place for the September 2024 entry at Admissions (wiltshire.gov.uk)  You will  be able to submit your application from 1 September 2023. The deadline is 15th of January 2024.
