Seasonal changes will be made to the Daily Timetable. .
Help your child enjoy his/her day at Gum Tree Cottage Pre-school.
Show an interest in your child’s day by looking at Notice Boards, Storypark planning and documentation, regular emails
and by taking home their craft and giving this pride of place in your home at least for a couple of days.
Share their day by asking questions. They will enjoy discussing it with you, as much as they have enjoyed participating in the Pre-school day!
