• Pet housing fund raising obstacle couse

  Tue 27 Sep 2022 Eileen

  A huge thank you to all our parents/carers/staff and extended family who have helped us raise £1021.97. We raised much more than expected which means the build can begin straight away. The obstacle course was enjoyed by all the children and the staff. 

  I would also like to thank Wickes at Blackheath who have given a donation of £102.00 worth of material to help with the build and also gave us 10% off our bill which was £97.00

  We are going to start the build this weekend. WHOOP WHOOO

  

• Jeans for Gene's day

  Wed 21 Sep 2022 Eileen

  We raised £166.53 for Jeans for Gene's day thank you to everyone who helped us raise our largest amount so far for this particular charity.

   

  To raise funds for jeans for Gene's day the children helped to bake cakes in all our rooms and then the staff sold them at the end of the day welcoming donations from our parents. We also did a raffle making up the prizes from donations from our staff. 

  The children had great fun exploring lots of different blue activities throughout the nursery from blue water play to decorating a pair of jeans with different blue materials.

   

  

• 19th September - National Day of Mourning for our late Queen

  Mon 19 Sep 2022

  13^th September 2022

   

  To all our Parents/carers

   

  Re: 19^th September - National Day of Mourning for our late Queen

   

  We are deeply saddened by the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and extend our deepest sympathies to the Royal family.

  The Queen has been a constant thread throughout all of lives and her passing will leave an indelible mark on each of us.  Her Majesty has been the most remarkable servant of her nation, demonstrating service, commitment, steadfastness and humility through a life of reign which has seen our lives transformed in so many ways.

  We would like to inform you that as Monday 19^th September 2022 has now been identified as a bank holiday for the funeral of the late Queen. The setting will be closed as a mark of a respect to take part in the National Day of Mourning.  This will enable staff, children, and families to pay their respects watching the televised events for our late monarch.

   

  Thank you for your co-operation.

• Pet fund raising update

  Fri 16 Sep 2022 Eileen

  Total fund raising to date is £864.00

  A huge thank you to everyone who has helped to raise way more than we appealed for. The obstacle course was great fun and all the children really enjoyed it as did the staff. We are now in the process of preparing to order the wood ect for the build and hope to begin building it early October. We are going to leave the fund raising page up for 1 more week for those of you who still want to contribute. Any money left over from the housing build will go towards the cost of fox proofing the pets grazing and outdoor exploring area. As I am sure some of you are aware that whilst having our tea party yesterday we had a visit from a fox who killed a pigeon just outside our pets area. Therefor we are going to try to enclose it all as quickly as possible. Thank you all again Eileen

• Queens memorial tea party

  Thu 15 Sep 2022 Eileen

  We all got together to remember our late Queen Elizabeth. We welcomed our parents and carers to join us for afternoon tea. We ate the Queens favorite sandwiches served in the traditional English way along with Earl Grey tea. We watched the big screen admiring the many beautiful pictures of our Queen.

  

• Fundraising for pet corner

  Tue 13 Sep 2022

   

   

  Cherubin’s sponsored obstacle course fund raiser.

   

  We are raising money to custom build larger housing for our pets. We want to house them together in the same place and are looking at customising a large shed or building our own to fit the area to house the chickens, ducks, rabbit and guinea pig to ensure it is fully fox proof/weather proof and enough space to exercise over the weekend. We will be doing the obstacle course on Tuesday 13^th September and Thursday 15^th September 2022. Please get as many sponsors as possible. We are hoping to raise around £500
