[email protected] Website: www.beechgreennursery.co.uk Dear parents, You may have noticed some changes in Nursery. We have several exciting things to tell you about. By the door there is a new parent's area. We will put information that might be of interest to you on the notice board. Also on the table is a large blue folder. This is updated every week with photos of the exciting activities your children have been taking part in. Please take a few minutes to have a seat on our new chairs and look through - you will find lots of gorgeous photos and when your child comes home and says they have done "nothing" at Nursery, you will know differently! Also the table has a storage section. In there is the complete policy folder, if you would like to refer to it at any time. We have also ordered some books that might be of interest to you. These will be in the box for you to borrow. All we ask is that you sign them out and sign them back in when you bring them back. We have ordered these books to get us started.

You may have also noticed a new sloping desk, the children certainly have! We have ordered 4 IPads for the children to use. We have been very fortunate to receive a grant from the Quedgeley Community Trust for £700 that will pay for 2 of them. This will be an exciting new develop for Nursery and will provide the children will lots of great fun and learning. The computers are still available for the children to use, they have moved up by the staff computer. On April 15th we are taking delivery of 10 eggs and an incubator! Some of you may know from last year that we hatched 9 of our 10 eggs and it was an amazing experience for the children (and staff!) We can't wait for our new arrivals!
