Jelli Tots Nursery May 2026 Newsletter

I cannot believe that we are now in the final half term of nursery before the children break up for their summer holiday! This year has flown by, and we are looking forward to making the most of our remaining weeks together. We have lots of exciting activities planned and are eager to create many more happy memories before the end of term.

Sun Safety Reminder

As we move into the warmer months, please could we ask all parents and carers to:

• Check your child's spare clothes bag and ensure it contains suitable clothing for warmer weather.
• Apply sun cream to your child before they arrive at nursery on hot days.
• Provide a named sun hat for your child to wear when playing outdoors.

These simple steps help us keep all children safe and comfortable while enjoying outdoor learning opportunities.

Naming Belongings

Please remember to clearly label all of your child's belongings, including:

• Lunch boxes
• Water bottles
• Coats and jackets
• Hats

• Spare clothing

Labelling items helps us return belongings quickly and reduces the likelihood of items being lost or accidentally given to another child.

Punctuality

Please ensure that your child arrives at nursery by 9:25am each morning.

Some children attend intervention groups which begin at 9:30am in the music area. Late arrivals can disrupt these sessions and the wider nursery routine. We appreciate your support in helping all children start their day positively and on time.

Parent Questionnaire

Before the children break up for the summer holidays, we will be sending out a parent questionnaire.

As a reflective staff team, we value your feedback and use it to help us improve our provision and plan for the year ahead. We hope that as many families as possible will take a few moments to complete the questionnaire when it is sent out.

Thank you in advance for your support.
