Startright Pre-School Newsletter January 2023

Happy New Year! We hope you have all had a wonderful festive break and are looking forward to the year ahead.

Thank you to everyone that contributed to our Christmas Jumper Day collection – we raised £16 and have sent this to Save The Children.

I have received a few messages asking for clarification about the consumable fee that I emailed you about at the end of last term. From January we will be implementing a daily fee for all funded children to cover the cost of all consumables. This is a minimal charge of £3.50 a session for those who receive 15 funded hours a week and £7 a session for those who receive 30 funded hours a week.

This payment will ensure we continue to offer the best resources availble for the children to play with, explore and enjoy. The funding we receive from the Government remains extremely low and with the increase costs of running Pre-School we are not in a position to purchase new resources without your support. We have kept this charge to an absolute minimum. If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to get in touch.

We look forward to seeing you all when we return on 10th January 2023 (9th January is an inset day for staff training).

Take care,

Mrs BJ and the Pre-School Team
