"Little People Count"
July 10 Newsletter

Dear Parents/ Carers,      Another educational year is coming to an end and we are sad to be saying goodbye to some of our children who are starting school, some of whom have attending the nursery since they were babies, although a few are staying on in our kids club. So we would like to wish them well for school! Xxx The planning application is still ongoing, my agent Garness Jones is now managing this project for me so hopefully things will get moving soon! I have set up a Face book page for Songbirds, this will have special offers advertised and any forthcoming events! So please check it out. Staff news Congratulations to Carina Jenson and Ian who are having a baby!  Carina will be going on maternity leave in November.

3 and 4 year old Funding for September IMPORTANT The entitlement from September 2010 is 15 hours per week. You can take up to 10 hours funding in one day. You can take 5 hours funding in one morning or one afternoon. If your child only attends for the funded sessions they will be 0900 – 1200 and 1230 – 330 For fees and invoicing this shouldn’t be too problematic I will just reduce the invoices accordingly, this will be VERY beneficial to some parents in particular those that attend part time eg one or two half  or full days! for example if a child attends 1 x day a week this could be FREE! Term time. If any children attend 2 x settings please let me know how you would like the funding splitting? Thanks
