Christmas Toy Catalogues
Just a reminder that the Christmas toy order catalogues are due back no later than FRIDAY 16th September.
Emergency Services Week
Every day of the week from the 5th-9th September will be conducting an Emergency Services Week. We will be providing a range of educational and fun experiences that will help children to learn about different emergency services and the role they play in our community. We will also be having some special visitors come to the centre. This links to Learning Outcome 2 and Learning Outcome 4 of the Early Years Learning Framework
National Child Care Accreditation Council Spot Check
On Tuesday, 30th August a validator from the National Childcare Accreditation Council (NCAC), conducted “spot check” visit to our centre. A spot check is an unannounced visit to the centre to check that we are providing quality care for all children and are meeting the requirements for Accreditation. We are proud to say that we received only positive feedback, and the validator complimented all staff on the high standard of the centre. Please find attached a copy of the written report we received.
October Long Weekend
The centre will be closed on Monday, 3rd October for the Labour Day long weekend. Fees will not be charged for this day.
Bob Turner Reptile Show
Currently the children are showing a great interest in reptiles. Due to this, we have organised the Bob Turner Reptile Show to come to the centre on Thursday, 20th October starting at 11a.m. This is a fun, educational and interactive experience. All children are welcome to attend-if this is not your child’s day of attendance please bring them along.
We are happy to be providing this activity at no cost to our families.
Warmer Weather
It certainly feels like winter is behind us, and the spring weather has arrived. We would just like to give a reminder that children are wearing sun safe clothing. It’s essential that all hats must have a broad brim /legionnaire style; shirts must have sleeves which fully cover and extend below the shoulder halfway to the elbow(no cap-sleeves/singlets), as well as covering the back and midriff, 3/4 length pants or shorts that come to the knees(no “short shorts”) thongs/slides must have an ankle strap, earrings-studs only, no skirts/dresses, and long hair to be tied back. For more information please refer to our Sun Protection and Children’s Clothing Policies-it’s also important to realise that these regulations also apply to staff.
Happy Fathers Day
We hope that all our Dads, Step Dads and Grandfathers enjoyed being spoilt on Father’s Day
Staff Leave
Tara is going to be on leave from the 12th -23rd September. Nicole and Sharon will be working during this time. We all hope she enjoys her holiday (and brings us back some nice presents).
Thank you
Sharon, Brett, Anneke, Tara, Anneke and Kasey.
