We discuss during our lunch time session healthy eating and oral health. Dentists are reporting on the number of children under the age of 5 that have severe tooth decay. We know it is difficult but if possible can children please not have sugary drinks in their drinks bottles. We provide fresh water throughout the day and are able to provide water during lunch time so children do not necessarily have to bring drinks with them for lunch

Our trustees are trying to develop a presence on Facebook for our parents as a way of sharing information. If you are interested in this please visit our Facebook page. We will not be sharing any photographs on this page

Thank you to all of our parents who were able to complete our recent questionnaire. Thank you for your suggestions on how we can improve our setting. We understand the main area a number of our parents would like to see improved is the availability for children to have a hot meal at lunch time. We are sure we would all agree we do not have adequate facilities in our setting for us to prepare our own meals. We are looking into the possibility of sourcing hot meals from a delivery service that Telford & Wrekin provide so this maybe a possibility during the Autumn Term

We are only a very small staff team so if a member of staff becomes ill we may have to close nursery if we are unable to arrange supply cover
