The children at Rum Tum Tugger’s have been spending lots of time learning all their Christmas songs for our Christmas Carol Concert on Thursday 17^th December starting at 4.15pm. We will have some displays of the children’s Christmas art work for you to see in the nursery and we are hoping to be read us a Christmas story. There will be mince pies and wine for parents after the concert.

A short reminder for everyone that we have the children’s Christmas party on Monday 21^st December if you haven’t already had the chance, please take a look at our party food list and chose an item to bring with you on the day. If your child attends nursery on this day you are welcome to join us for the festivities if you want to. If your child does not attend on Monday’s please ensure that there is a responsible adult to stay with your child for the duration of the party.

Thank you to everyone who has added a Christmas decoration to our tree in the front lobby, it looks fantastic with all the children’s work on it. If you would like to send Christmas cards to the children we have a post box next to the Christmas tree. The children in the Rumpleteasers room will be taking it in turns to be the post worker.

Chinese New Year

hayley — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 11:02:24 +0000

A wonderful smell of Chinese cooking wafted through the air at Rum Tum Tugger’s Nursery in Harlow as the children celebrated Chinese New Year. There were things to smell and taste, a chance to try chop sticks and a variety of art and craft projects to do.

Our toddler group made chinese lanterns. At this stage of development, children are becoming aware of shapes and patterns which is part of the EYFS area of learning for Problem Solving, Reasoning and Numeracy.

They made cards showing Cherry Blossom using pink fingerprints. Children at this age enjoy making marks and looking at each others projects. This is a very early stage in the development of writing skills.

The wall display is made up of a variety of pictures coloured by the toddlers. It’s important for children to begin to talk about the special times in other peoples lives, like celebrations in other cultures.

Amy Davies – Training

hayley — Thu, 27 Nov 2008 11:43:57 +0000

Amy attended a difficult course last week. The topic was “Impact of Child Abuse” and extends previous training on Safeguarding Children. It’s a harrowing course but helps us to recognise the signs and symptoms. It also shows practitioners how cases are managed. Well done Amy!

All nurseries must have a clear stratergy and approach to handling this sensitive subject and a basic level of awareness training is given to all new staff during their first week at Rum Tum’s. If, as a parent, you had a concern about a child in nursery, Hayley Martin-Burns co-ordinates Safeguarding Children issues and is happy to talk things through with you. However, it was also worth noting the local contact number for Essex referrals, 0845 6037627.

Your Input is Needed!!

This year, I’ve set a competition between the rooms at Rum Tum Tugger’s, Harlow for the best Christmas displays. It would be brilliant to get some parent input too. When you get a chance, have a look at the displays as they are evolving and when they are complete. In judging, you could think about the level of child input or the use of a theme or artistic impression or originality. Feedback to me through the comments facility on the blog. There’s a £20 cash prize for the winning display!!
