August Newsletter - Highwood Nursery

Staff updates

Dani will be leaving us as a permanent member of staff at the end of August to study Law at university. She has been at Highwood from an apprentice to a fully qualified Level 3 practitioner. She will continue at Highwood as a casual member of staff and help out in the holidays. In September we will be welcoming a new apprentice, called Lucy. She will be working in the Squirrels room while studying towards her Level 2 Early Years qualification.

Medication

If your child is leaving for school and has medication at the Nursery, such as Epi-pens, Calpol and inhalers, please remember to collect this on your child’s last day. Medication is stored in the office, except for Epi-Pens, which are stored in the child’s room.

If you are already in receipt of funding, you must ensure you reconfirm your eligibility to HMRC when requested. This reconfirmation is usually required every three months. Importantly, it will ensure you can continue to receive your funded hours.
