Nursery Newsletter
This half of the term the children will be learning about all things "growing". This is an open topic which will be covering the children's interests and choices, along with celebrations and holidays such as St George's day, the celebration of EID, the Queens jubilee. The children will be exploring life cycles, growing seeds and looking at flowers. We will also be looking at different types of sensory play, using fine motor and gross motor skills.
If you would like to know more, please speak to your child's key person.

Good Beginnings Bronze Award
June 2018 the Stepping Stones team worked really hard to achieve the Bronze Good Beginnings: Early Years Autism-friendly setting award. In the future we will be working towards achieving the Silver award.
The staff had to gather evidence to create a portfolio to present to the Good Beginnings team; they spent the year updating their knowledge, developing their skills and attending various training courses. To celebrate our wonderful achievement, we invited parents in to see us being presented with our certificate.
