Another academic year has come to an end and we wish all of our families who are moving on from us this summer the best of luck.

Returning children will be welcomed back on Monday 7th September and we are looking forward to meeting our new starters in the weeks that follow.

Thank you to all of our staff, families, trustees, committee members, supporters, wider professionals and most importantly the children for being so wonderful this year.

Have a lovely summer!
The John McNeill Team.

We are continuing to remain open for our morning sessions as normal during the heatwave this week. We are monitoring outdoor play, keeping cooler spaces open and encouraging children to drink frequently during their sessions.

Please put sun cream on your child before they come into nursery and dress them in suitable, cool clothing. Bring spare clothing for water play activities and a hat if they will tolerate wearing one. All water bottles and clothing should be named.

If you choose to keep your child at home this week do let us know as soon as possible so that we can plan activities in our shaded areas accordingly.

Stay cool, stay safe 😎🌞
