July Newsletter 24

The Nursery Manager writes…

Hello. And once again, welcome to all the new families who have joined us over the last month. If your child is attending nursery on July 22, please remember to complete the consent form if you want your youngster to interact with Em’s Friendly Farm. Please also be reminded that prices will increase from September – a letter has already been distributed to give you appropriate prior notice. In other news, term-time-only children will be leaving us for their summer break shortly, so we wish them lots of fun and possibly even some sun (who knows?).
