The Chestnut Trees Preschool Committee welcome all returning and new families to the new 2007-08 school year, and also to our full time staff: Val, Helen, Sarah, and Amanda.
We hope you will take a moment to read the notices here that will be helpful reminders to make the start of the preschool year go smoothly for all.
Every term at preschool there is a different topic for the children to explore. Our topic for this term is: Stepping into school.
There is a supplement to this newsletter (on noticeboard) which explains the context of this topic and what the children will be doing. We ask that parents & carers loan books and puzzles relating to the latest topic. These items should be clearly labelled and will be returned at the end of the term. Thank you for supporting this scheme, which greatly increases the variety of books and toys for the childrens’ enjoyment.
The aim of the Chestnut Trees Preschool Volunteer Committee is to provide an environment in which all our children can thrive and learn to love learning. If you have any queries about preschool, or the work of the committee, please do not hesitate to ask a member of staff or a committee member. We warmly welcome any parent or carer interested in volunteering. A committee position is not onerous – we have a sociable meeting approximately once a month. Please talk to Bev if you can spare any time. *Parent Meeting at 9.00am on Thursday 13th September*
The Chestnut Trees Preschool AGM will be held on Wednesday 19th September at 7.30pm in the preschool rooms. This is an important date in our annual calender, and it is imperative that we have a good percentage of parents attend – an invalid AGM could result in the preschool having to close its doors. Please come along and join us for a glass of wine. This will also be an opportunity for completing paperwork for new parents.
Every parent is asked to take a turn on the parent help rota, which may involve one or two mornings a term. Anyone willing to take an extra morning session, please see Bev or add yourself to the list on the board.
We are able to arrange cover should you wish to pay for someone to take your allocated morning: the cost is currently £16.00 rising to £17.50 per session from Term 2 to cover the increase in minimum wage salary.
Funding forms will be going out to parents as soon as we receive them – these need to be completed and returned to Bev (folder marked Chairperson on board) by the dates specified.
Please note *Ofsted require that all preschool lunchboxes contain an ice pack*
Shrivenham Fete Stall
Thank you for all those parents who donated alcoholic bottles our tombola stall at the annual Shrivenham fete, and for those who gave up their time to help run the stall; especially Kelly, Nikki and Rebecca who painted faces so beautifully. We raised approximately £200 for the preschool.
The new Term
Start Times
Once the door has opened at 9am please ensure the children come in quickly as the staff will be prompt in closing it again in the interest of safety.
Footwear
The staff will be taking the children outside as often as weather allows. Please provide named Wellington boots for outside and daps for wearing in Preschool. These can be kept at Preschool.
Finally, please ensure your contact information is current.
