Welcome to Reception

Our heartfelt thanks for the lovely Christmas cards, thoughtful gifts, and warm wishes. Your kindness and generosity truly mean so much to us, and we feel so grateful to be part of your child's journey this year.

Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year filled with joy, peace, and good health. Love from The EYFS team xxx

With the help and support of The Friends, our EYFS team has created an Amazon Wish List. This list comprises items that we use on a daily basis, which often run low or become worn over time and need replacing. By taking a look at what we use to support the children's play, we believe you will gain an interesting insight into their learning!

We would be incredibly grateful if you feel able to contribute something towards your child's learning. Not only will your contribution enhance your child's educational experience, but it will also benefit the other 59 children who share the same setting.

For those who are unfamiliar with how Amazon Wish Lists work, it's a straightforward process. You can access our Wish List by following the link provided below. This will take you directly to the list, where you can browse through the items we have selected. If you decide to purchase an item from the list, it will be delivered directly to us, saving you the hassle of having to bring it in yourself.

EYFS Amazon Wish List

Please be assured that any contribution, no matter how big or small, will be greatly appreciated. We value your support and understand that it may not always be possible to contribute to the Wish List. Participation is entirely voluntary, and we respect any decision you make.

If you have any questions or require further information about how the Wish List works, please do not hesitate to get in touch. We are more than happy to assist you.

Thank you for considering supporting your child's learning through our Amazon Wish List. Your generosity will make a substantial difference to the educational resources available to all children at our setting.

Tips for a Tear Free Drop Off!

Click on this link for some helpful tips.

Drop Off and Collection

Children can be dropped off at the Reception gate between 8.40am and 8.50am in the morning.

Collection will be under the canopy between 3.05pm and 3.10pm.

Snack

The school will provide both a 'dry snack' (rice cake/cracker etc.), and a piece of fruit for your child each day, as well as water or milk. Children should bring their own water bottles in to school (no squash or juice, only water). If you have already made arrangements to send in your own snack for medical reasons, we kindly ask that you follow our Healthy School Policy

PE Day

PE day will be on a Tuesday. Children should come to school wearing their PE Kit (please label all items of clothing). Children may wear plimsolls or trainers (no laces).

If you have any questions then please feel free to speak to any of the Reception staff on the gate, at drop off or collection time, or to contact the school office to make an appointment.

Many thanks for your support and cooperation,

Miss Joseph, Miss Ponting, Mrs Pavitt and Mrs H
