World Book Day 2023

Peter Rabbit came to visit us at nursery yesterday for World Book Day and took some our carrots with him. The children enjoyed sharing their stories from home and loved coming to nursery dressed up, thank you to  everyone for their fantastic effort with costumes and story spoons.

People Who Help Us

This week we have been looking at people who help us, the children have been learning all about dentists how to look after their teeth, and what happens when you go to the dentist. They have enjoyed lots of role play, crafting and stories.

New Nursery Leader

We are really pleased to let you know that Clare Evans will be taking over as our nursery leader in January. Clare already works with our Snow-leopards every Friday and as a TA in school the rest of the week. Clare has had extensive nursery experience prior to joining Myddle and can’t wait to get back into a nursery setting. Clare knows all of the children really well, so we hope it will be a smooth transition for you all.

We thank Liz for looking after the nursery so competently over the last few weeks; Liz will now move into her new role as the Panda Class teaching assistant.

We also welcome Katie Hinton to the EYFS team. Katie has worked with us a lot on a casual basis and absolutely LOVES this age group. She will now work every Wednesday in Snow-Leopards and every Friday in Panda class.  Fran will continue to be in nursery full time, so we have a great team in place.

Any questions, please do catch a member of staff and ask, email the school admin or call in. In the new year, we will open the doors to parents and carers so that you can meet everyone.

Thank you all for your on-going support.

Nursery Issue

Unfortunately we have unwelcome visitors in Nursery; we spotted two mice this morning in the setting!

The children were relocated straight away into the hall, where they spent the day. Pest Control are due to visit school tomorrow (Friday) and we will update you on their findings/timescales for resolving the problem.

Our aim is to “continue as normal” in the hall or within the Panda classroom, depending on numbers. Please note, collection and drop off will be either in the outside area of Nursery or in the Panda Veranda. A staff member will be waiting in this area for them. The main Nursery door will not be in use.

If you have any questions or concerns please give school a ring on 01939 290834.

We are sorry for any inconvenience that this may cause as we try to get it resolved as quickly as possible.

 

Nursery Opening Times

Please can parents note that Nursery opening time is 8:55am. Please either wait at the gate by Panda Class entrance or by the main nursery door. A member of Nursery staff will collect your child from either of these entrances.

The doors will remain locked until this time.

We appreciate your support with this.

Nursery News

We are very sad to announce that Jodie Phillips, our lovely nursery leader, is leaving us for pastures new. Jodie has accepted a new job as a family worker with Shropshire Early Help, which we know she will be fantastic at. However, we are of course very sad to lose her from our team at Myddle. Jodie has been with us for 7 years and taken the nursery from strength to strength with her creativity, her management skills and her love of children. We know you will join us to wish her every success in her new job and to thank her for all her hard work at Myddle, giving our little ones the best possible start to their school life.

We will let you know who Jodie’s successor will be shortly and we will ensure that there is plenty of  information sharing so that the transition can be as seamless as possible.

Jodie’s last day will be Friday 26th November.
