We are planning on doing a newsletter every half term to keep you up to date with events in club I would just like to take the time to thank all our parents and carers who are using have used our setting for your continued support and encouragement. What is happening in Club? We would like to say farewell to Amy who leaves at Easter. The stingers staff are now Nicola, Mariam, Rebecca and Ewa Keresha is also part of the club staff now and she will be working with staff in their absence. What’s coming up? We are looking at Growing, Food, Outdoors and Summer! The children were all asked about activities they would like to take part in, keep your eyes peeled. Behaviour Management In April we will be re-introducing our behaviour management system in club. This will focus on praising and rewarding children We hope this will motivate the children to show good behaviour and have a general respect for staff and club The rewarding system we will be using is a sunflower chart. Where the children will hopefully grow and met the sun. Those children who are on the sun by the end of the week will receive a certificate and a prize. | out the parent questionnaire attached and return ASAP Thank you Stingers team This is so we can ensure we’re meeting the needs of the children and your selves. If the service is failing to meet your expectations and you need to raise concerns with staff then we have private space available for this away from the children. The staff will also use this space if they need to discuss private matters with parents. At the end of this half term we will be looking at a reward night at club or perhaps bowling again!! As we had a ball of a time! And the children were excellently behaved and a real credit to yourselves. Over the past few weeks we have been trailing a newtea time system. They have taken to it well and tea is becoming a nice talking point for the children. Our planning in Stingers is based very much on the children’s interests and time of year. The staff collectively come up with ideas and each take a week to ensure the children have their needs meet, In the setting and are actively engaged and inspired |
Homework
Would you like your child to do homework at club? If so, please let a member of staff know. Primarily we are here as an afterschool service where children are free to be able to choose the activities on offer, whilst we are happy to support willing children we won’t enforce homework with any child.
Late Fees
Can we remind parents and carers that we do have a late collection fee. If you are late in collecting your child from nursery you are asked to pay the members of staff on duty at the time. The cost is £5 part/per 15 minutes that you are late. You are required to give this payment in cash.
Fees
Please can we remind you that fees must be paid in advance. If you are two weeks or more in arrears your child’s place maybe suspended until all outstanding fees have been cleared. If your child is absent from club all booked session need to be paid. If you need your fees explaining, feel free to ask a member of staff.
Contact details
Please can you ensure that the nursery has any of your updated contact information. This is very important should we need to reach you in an emergency.
Sickness and absence
It is vital that you inform club about any sickness or absence. Whether that be via phone or letting us know a day before. It is important you follow this through as it is a safeguarding issue
Parent contribution
We would like parents to contribute more when it comes to activities for the children so if you have any suggestions, we would love to hear from you. You know your child best, therefore by contributing you’re ensuring the activities your child is partaking in are enjoyable and stimulating.
