There will be governors in attendance at both parent evenings, Tuesday 11th and Thursday 13th February from 3:20pm until 6pm if you have any questions.

Update: Little Angels have informed some of you directly that they will not be able to accommodate 3 year olds. However, we do not want to stop providing this service for you as the nursery is a very important part of our school. We appreciate how many of you have children in both nursery and the main school who would be very inconvenienced by this change. To this end, we are going to run a school-led section where we will employ an additional member of staff ourselves to care for the three year olds. For this to be successful, places must be booked in advance. On a Wednesday we usually have 4 children in this category, which would cover the staff wages, but would need to strive to build up these numbers on the other days as well.

The price for this will be £4 per hour, in line with the cost of Little Angels.

Update: We are really pleased to hear how happy you all are with the current provision in sunset and sunrise. Claire, Sara and Rachel have all taken on these extra roles to ensure we can offer this wrap around care and are doing an amazing job. We really appreciate it.

Little Angels are very eager to start running our extended school provision and all the groundwork has now been done. This cannot start until Ofsted have been out to inspect the facilities and give their approval. We are on a waiting list for this but we anticipate that it will be after half term.

The Little Angels manager, Jemma Sharps, has been in and met with Helen Trevelyan and the other temporary staff. She will start to advertise Little Angels of Myddle after half term so that you can make your bookings and ask questions directly to them. Helen will definitely continue working at Sunset. The other staff are to be confirmed. Due to the fact that we don’t know the date that Ofsted will come, we are going to put the start date as Easter to ensure that it is done and we have sufficient time to action any changes that need to be made following their visit.

Thank you for your ongoing support with this.
