Sad News

Nabelah Ainarkar is leaving St Marys Nursery on Tuesday 29th January to move onto pastures new. Nabelah has been at St Marys Nursery over five years and has been a valuable member of the team. She is going to work as a Health Care Assistant, so watch out if you end up in The Royal Blackburn Hospital! Nabelah is also going to continue her volunteer role in the children's wards as a nursery nurse and is hoping this is the field she will go into. We wish her loads of sucess for the future and thank her for her dedicated service to St Marys.

A Day in the Life at St Marys Nursery

Nikki from our Media Department at St Marys College has been working very hard putting together a small 'Day In The Life' video of the children at St Marys Nursery. All the editing is now complete and below is the link for you to view the footage. The link is a private link and the video can only be viewed by people using the blog and not through You Tube direct. Watch and enjoy!

Parents Evening – Tuesday 5^th February 2013

The evenings start at 6.15pm. Your child’s key worker will soon be approaching you to arrange a time slot with you. This will provide an opportunity for you to discuss your child’s progress on a one to one basis with your child’s key worker. You will also be able to view their Learning Journey and you will be asked to check your contact details. If possible can you please arrange alternative childcare so children are not at nursery during the evening as it can be distracting for adults when talking to key workers.

Colour Day - January

Thursday 31st January is White Day - Please dress your child in as many white items as possible. There will be a certificate given in each room for the child who wears the most white. Paints and other sticky activities will not be carried out on this day to prevent staining on children's clothes.
