22 Street Lane Nursery - September 2023 Newsletter

September Newsletter Goslings Room Introduction

As your child will be moving to the Gosling Room in September, we would like to provide you with a brief overview of what our room entails, this will include information in order to welcome your child with ease. Your child will also have a key worker and a deputy key worker for them in their absence which have already been allocated and put on Tapestry for you, however, if you have any questions about this then please let us know. Your key worker will give feedback where possible depending on shift patterns as well as posting observations for you on Tapestry. There are currently four members of staff in the Goslings Room who you will see daily during drop off and feedback. The staff members in the Goslings Room are as follows:

Madina Khalifa Room Leader

Nafeesa Wasim Qualified Practitioner

Hermime Pryce Apprentice Practitioner

Laura Clark Unqualified Practitioner

Pick up and Drop off: All Parents / Carers will be dropping off and picking up their children from the entrance of the Goslings Room, which is opposite the reception area, there are plenty of signs in order to help you find the entrance. A member of staff will always come by the door to collect your child, however, please feel free to drop / pick up your child by coming into the room. Feedback: The Goslings will upload one post on Tapestry which will be called 'My Day in Goslings' this will tag all the children in attendance on the day and will also provide pictures and information on what sort of exciting activities the children have been doing. When you collect your children, a member of staff will then provide a more detailed feedback which gives you information about their day, mealtimes and sleep times. Areas / Layout of the room: We have a large space of provision which includes a Role play area, Cosy Corner and the Small world / Construction area. We also have the other side of the room where the children will sit for mealtimes. This is also the area where the children will have access to daily messy play activities with different materials alongside water and sand play. Toilet / Nappy changing area: The children have access to a single toilet with a sink, in order to encourage independence, we will slowly introduce washing hands by themselves to promote hygiene before all meal and snack times. This is a transition which will help support them when they eventually move to the Cygnets Room. Our nappy changing area is next to the toilet which involves a small set of steps attached that can only be pulled down by a member of staff, this is used for the children to climb up to access the nappy station.
