For parents trying to order Christmas Cards via Art Projects for Schools we have been advised that our deadline for ordering has been extended to midnight on 18th October, although we are aware that the site is 'down' yet again.
From an email received late this afternoon it would appear that the problem lies with the company providing the software that runs the online ordering part of their website. Art Projects for Schools are very apologetic and have given us their reassurances that everything possible is being done to get the site up and working again and that all orders once made will be despatched in plenty of time for Christmas.
Apologies for the frustration that this is causing.

Introducing Your Child's Online Learning Journal
We're pleased to announce that we have teamed up with Tapestry Online Learning Journal to provide online access to your children's developmental records.
Tapestry is available either via your web browser or as a free App on both Android and Apple devices and will give parents the ability to see what their child has been doing while at pre-school. Parents will be provided with their own login details and will be able to not only view 'observations' but to comment on them and even create their own . This means that our key-person staff will be able to communicate much more efficiently and effectively with our parents to ensure that the education and care their child receives is the best possible.
Parents will be asked to provide pre-school with an email address in order for access to be set up and once received we will add parents to the system. A simple 'activation' email is then sent to parents and away you go!
A link to the Tapestry website is available at the top right hand side of our home page. Any parents wanting more information should speak to Jayne or email pre-school on springfieldpreschool@hotmail.co.uk
We hope you will enjoy this new experience and we look forward to being able to share all those moments that make our job so special and rewarding.

End of Year!
Well we have reached the end of our school year and it has been an amazing one. We have had lots of fun and laughter and as well as lots of exploring and learning too.
We have been overwhelmed these last few days by the kindness and generosity of our parents who have bought us all some lovely gifts and cards and who have said some very kind words. All of this is truly appreciated by all the staff and is the icing on the cake of a great year.
We would like to wish all those leaving us for 'big school' lots of luck and happiness; we know you will all love your new schools and will continue to flourish.
But we are also looking forward to welcoming back those staying with us in September as well as lots of new faces!
Have a fantastic Summer and we will see you in September!

Summer Term
Well this has been a busy term to end our academic year.
We had a fantastic Summer Fair a few weeks ago that raised £1038 which was amazing! A big thank you to everyone who contributed to making it such a great success.
We had our leavers concert the other afternoon, and despite the heat all the children did an amazing rendition of 'Room on the Broom'!
All of our children have received their 'end of year' reports and to celebrate we are enjoying a few days of party games and treats.
We still have a couple of days to go until our Summer break with our last day being Tuesday 26th July. We will then re-open on Monday 5th September.
We hope everyone has a lovely Summer break and we wish all our leavers the very best of luck at their new schools.
REMINDER
From September we have new opening hours as follows;
Morning Sessions - 9.15am - 12.15pm
Lunch Club - 12.15pm - 12.45pm
Afternoon Sessions - 12.45pm - 3.45pm
Sessions will cost £8.50 each for children aged 2 years of age and £10.50 for children aged over 3 who are not claiming free childcare with us or who attended for more than the 15 hours free childcare.
