You suggested, we bought....
A big thank you for all the money that you have helped us to raise over the last 18 months.
We are pleased to tell you that based on some great parent and staff suggestions we have recently purchased:
1. Garden drums and wall chimes (to be fitted in the outdoor area)
2. Toadstool table and chairs
3. Additional unit for storing coats and bags for the classroom to be able to use the small room near the nursery office as dedicated area for prams, buggies and car seats you need for pick-ups.
Please keep the great ideas coming!

Parent Support Meeting 18 June @ 7pm
You are all invited to come along to the next Nursery Parent Support Group meeting which will be held on Wednesday 18th June 2014 at 7.00pm at the nursery.
We discuss fundraising activities, how to spend the charitable funds, and discuss ideas put forward by parents and staff for improving the nursery over a nice cup of tea and coffee.
We are very keen for new members to join this time as the existing group will be losing some of its members (our Treasurer and Blog editor) as their nursery children move on to school in September, so please do let us know if you are interested even if you cannot make the next meeting.
We only meet four times a year for about an hour, and outside of the the meetings it is up to you how much time you want to commit from designing a poster, liaising with the nursery office team, adding an event onto our blog (no IT skills needed!), shopping for raffle items, taking notes at the meeting or just contributing to the discussion at the meeting. In addition to supporting the nursery, you can also use it for personal development perhaps to support a new role or job application, or just to try out something new!
If you are unable to come next week but have any feedback or suggestions please leave these with the nursery office staff for the group to discuss.
Look forward to hearing from you!

2014/15 Fees - look out for your letters / forms
You should all start receiving or have received, a letter (in your child's bag) with details of the nursery fees for the 2014/15 financial year and a form for you to complete to confirm days and sessions.
Parents who are employed by RJAH will generally receive their letters first so that they can be authorised with the payroll system.
Lynne, the nursery manager, explained at the recent Parent Support Group meeting that they had made the decision to keep the fees as low as possible so for a 7 hour or more session, there is only a 50p increase, to recognise the current economic climate.
If you have any queries please contact the Nursery Office.

Update on Nursery Charitable Fund
Following feedback it was agreed by the Nursery Parent Support Group to use some of the funds to purchase a new PC screen for the classroom. This has now been installed and is much enjoyed by the classroom children.
We are still working on plans to improve the outdoor area so that it can be better used during not so nice weather. Hopefully we will be able to tell you more in the New Year!
We are always happy to receive suggestions, please let one of the Nursery Office staff know or a member of the Parent Support Group.

Welcome to the PPN blog!
The Parent Support Group have been considering new ways to communicate with parents and a blog that emails out the new posts was thought to be a good solution to keep you up-to-date!
We hope that you find it helpful and welcome any comments/suggestions for improvement.
