Dear Parents and Carers
I’d like to take this opportunity to wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new and also to say thank you for all your support in welcoming me as the new manger, I am always on the end of the phone or email to help and support in any way I can.
The team and I would like to thank you for all your kind gifts and well wishes.I hope you feel that the zoom nativity was hugely successful and will join me in a massive thank you to all the children and the team for making a beautiful memory in exceptional circumstances.
The Christmas stall raised a massive £130 and will enable the preschool to buy a second ipad and trial a new online system for learning journeys and observations….watch this space for more information.
Time to look forward to a new term and welcome Orlagh who will be joining us in January and to say a sad goodbye to Emily and Chester whose families are moving on to a new adventure, we truly wish you the best if luck.
Parent consultations will be taking part in February and again time for another first; we are hoping to hold this by phone or video call with your child's key worker by appointment.
More details to follow in the new term.
Stay safe, stay well and enjoy your Christmas
Kind regards
Georgina and the St Pauls Crofton Preschool team

Covid 19 updates and reminders
We will continue to use two queues and entrance and exits points A and B, please can I remind you to wear a face covering and keep your distance when waiting at the preschool.
Hand gel and antibacterial spray will be available to use please ensure this is done before entering.
Temperatures will still be taken at the door and enhanced room cleaning is in place
Covid secure measures mean we need to keep the room well ventilated with windows open at all times please keep this in mind as the room is cooler than usual. Please ensure your child is dressed in layers.
If a member of your household is isolating it is preschool policy for the children to remain at home for the required time as well.
I also ask you keep me informed of any tests within your bubble. Thank you for helping us to keep children and staff as safe as possible.
