Thank you to everybody for supporting us during our horse and cart ride , waving back and just being there to see the children.
I would like to thank all parents and children for the lovely gifts and cards for all the staff and to take this opportunity to Wish you all a very Merry Christmas!
I will be contacting parents via email at some point to give you a link to view all the photos taken during the last day of term activities including carriage ride and party games at the squash club.
This is a quick reminder for everyone that Wednesday 16th December is the last day of term for Playschool.
To celebrate Christmas and give the children a treat Playschool with Steve and Suzy Mills have arranged and paid for Just Dandy Horse and Carriage to visit Playschool and take all the children who wish to, for a carriage ride around the village with Santa and his Elves. Children who do not attend a Wednesday afternoon session are welcome to join us with their parents for a carriage ride.
Hello all, I am posting to make sure all parents/carers who have a child who is due to start school in September 2021 are aware that the Kent County Council On line site to apply for a school place is now open. You have from now until the 15th January to apply. I will forward you all a flyer that has been e mailed to me by the KCC with all the relevant dates and links. Please speak to me if you are unsure what you should be doing. Michaela
I hope you have all had an enjoyable half term holiday. I am writing this to confirm that Playschool re starts tomorrow Monday 2nd November. We will be open during this new lockdown as stated by the Prime Minister alongside schools.
The fact the country will be in lockdown shows us we must continue to be extra careful, following all the guidelines. If you feel your child is safer at home and you are not working due to lockdown, you will not be penalised in anyway for them not attending but please let me know.
Stay safe and well everybody.
Michaela
Just a quick reminder that this Friday 23rd October is the last day of term. We return to playschool on Monday 2nd November for term 2.
We have another session of Racket Tots for the children tomorrow morning.
Thank you all for working with us this term through all the changes due to the pandemic, looking forwards to the fun of next term heading towards Christmas.
Thank you to you all for helping to avoid the queue by the gate.
Today the children had another session of racket tots , they are all doing really well and greatly improving their ball skills.
Just to let you know we are unable to do our woodland session tomorrow morning as we are a member of staff short.
We have now been back at playschool for 3 weeks and I would like to say how well all of the children have settled back and adjusted to all the new routines. We continue to monitor the advice from the authorities to keep the children , the parents and the staff all as safe as possible during the pandemic.
John Mayne School have asked us if we can keep the gate into the school playground as clear of people as possible to allow their parents access whilst maintaining social distancing. To achieve this please could all of our parents wait on the grass area by the raised flower beds and only step forward to our gate when it is your turn to enter. To avoid a large queue forming please arrive at your allotted start time, if you are unsure what this is please ask us.
Any questions or queries or issues please share them with us and STAY SAFE!
Hope you’ve all had a good summer holidays. Just a quick reminder that playschool reopens tomorrow, Thursday 3rd September.
Any queries regarding start times and sessions, please call.
Good luck to all our rising fives starting school today!
Thank you to all the parents and children for all the lovely gifts , cards and sentiments.
Thanks to all the parents, grandparents and friends who all attended the Rising 5 gathering on the field, it was a wonderful final gathering . Playschool’s door is always open don’t be strangers.
Please all stay safe through the summer holidays and we will see our returning children in September.
