Drop off and collection:
The children will be greated through the Nursery playground door by Miss McElhinney in the morning and by Mrs Willcocks in the afternoon at the external door..
The children are collected from the nursery classroom door, through the KS1 gate and Reception play area, at both end of morning and end of afternoon.
If someone is collecting who staff have not met before, please let staff know and they will also ask for the person collecting to provide the password.
Tapestry
We use the Tapestry App to keep in contact with parents. Your child’s key worker will upload regular photos explaining what your child may be learning during their time in Blossom Class and giving some ideas of activities that you could complete at home to help your child to develop.
We also encourage parents to upload photo’s or videos of their child from days out or any WOW moments from home: the children love to share these experiences with us in class!
