Seesaw Nursery 2 Newsletter
SSEPTEMBER 2025
We would like to welcome all our new children and parents, and we hope
everyone had a fantastic summer.
We are ready for another year, with lots of exciting activities planned for your
children.
0-2s
We would like to welcome you back to nursery and look forward to meeting
new faces. During this term we will be looking at a selection of the “That’s not
my…..” touch and feel books as we introduce and explore new sensory
experiences. We will be going on some walks in the pushchairs, listening to the
sounds and exploring the outdoor environment. Therefore, can we please ask
that you provide appropriate warm clothing ie all in one suits, hats, socks,
shoes/wellies (if applicable). If you have any questions, please feel free to speak
to Sasha or Evie.
Tiny Tots
This term we are going to be having lots of fun following our focus story “The
three little pigs”. Where we will be carrying out lots of messy activities. As we
will be getting messy and spending lots of time in the garden can we please ask
that your child wears old clothes and that you provide spares. Could we also ask
if you could provide waterproofs and wellies.
If you have any questions please feel free to talk to Immy or a member of the
Tiny tots team.
Pre-School
Over the next term in Pre-school we will be spending a lot of time outside
looking and collecting autumnal things. We would be very grateful if you go on
any walks and spot conkers, pinecones or any interesting leaves you could bring
them into nursery for use to use in messy play. Please can you provide your
child has appropriate outdoor clothing.
Our focus story this term is the “Colour Monster”. We will be talking about
colours and our feelings. Please find a home link relating to the colour monster
on our Pre-school wall, in the office area. You can take this home and bring it
back to nursery to share.
If you have any questions, please feel free to talk to Daisy

FUNDING ACTIONS
Working parents are now eligible for up to 30 hours funding. If you have a code
please remember to reconfirm this code every 3 month. If this is not done, you
are at risk of losing your funding and will start occurring a large bill for the
hours used. Please inform us straight away of any changes in circumstances to
stop this from happening.
Gates & doors
Please ensure all gates and doors are closed properly behind you. It is important
for the children’s safety.
Please can I remind all parents that we have a closed Facebook group to inform
you of any events, important information and dates etc. also to share photos of
what the children have been up to during the week.
SCHOOL PLACES
If your child’s D.O.B is between 01/09/2021-31/08/2022, you can apply for a
Primary school place now on the Wiltshire council’s website. The application
deadline is 15th January 2025.
TOYS/COMFORT ITEMS
We would like to ask that no toys are to be brought into nursery as they may get
lost and broken. We have lots of toys at nursery, so they are not needed.
However, comfort items are allowed and can be stored in their draw or in their
bag when not needed. Thank you.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT
