It feels like the year is rushing by at an alarming rate. It is already September and the end of the year is fast approaching. Everyone is working hard to meet guidelines for the end of the year. I hope we can help you in any way we can as you balance busy work and family life.
It’s that time of the year when wet, cold weather is common place and keeping our children warm and dry means that sometimes they may feel a bit ‘hemmed in’. But when the sun comes out, we love to get them outdoors to play. We appreciate all the extra sets of clothes, shoes and warm gear you send along to help us pair outdoor exploration with staying warm and healthy.
It has been great catching up with some of you as we have celebrated Matariki in each centre. Attendances have been high this year and we all appreciate you making the time to share this special occasion with us and your tamariki.
I hope you are all managing to keep warm in this frosty weather. There are some wonderful opportunities for children to learn so much and enjoy interesting conversations with frozen puddles and white frost everywhere covering the trees and grassy areas.
Even in the winter weather the children like to get outside to play. Please make sure your child is warmly dressed and has a change of clothes, so that they can enjoy all areas of the curriculum.
Autumn is here and we are enjoying slightly cooler days. Children continue to enjoy the outdoors, so remember to add an extra layer when you dress them.
Our ERO visits have gone well - the ERO were pleased with our self-review systems and that the Creche philosophy underpins what happens here. Look out for the formal report due soon.
It’s lovely to be having day light savings with the longer evenings and some warmer weather. Our ERO reviewers, will be onsite this month in morningsfor short interviews, and look out for important dates, such as our Chistmas Party.
