Fundraising

Over this term we will be holding two of our main fundraising events of the year.
On Friday 28 th November we will have a stall at Duffield Meadows Winter Fair, 3:45 – 6:00pm.
Then on Saturday 6 th December we will be holding our annual Christmas Craft fair, 10:00 – 12pm. This is always a lovely event to get in the Christmas spirit. Come along and try some Christmas crafts.
It would be great if you could support these events as we are hoping to raise money for our playground improvements.

Labelling

As we come into winter please can I ask that we label everything!! Coats, hats, gloves, water bottles etc. We do try to make sure your child has everything but it would make our life so much easier if all items could be named! Thank you.

New staff member

Some of you may have met our new Deputy Vicki who has joined the preschool team this last month. She has joined us from a Nursery in Derby where she worked for 10 years. She is looking forward to getting to know both the children and their families this term.

Blue Book Bags

By now all children should have received their blue preschool book bag. These bags are really useful as they are the prefect size to put pictures in but also nappies and wipes or a change of clothes. Please can we kindly ask that children are sent with their blue book bags and not rucksacks as we do not have the space to store them inside.

SAFEGUARDING

Safeguarding is given the highest priority at Duffield Pre-School. There may be times when adults are concerned about children in the community. If so, then you can contact DCC's Child Protection Department on 01629 533190, the NSPCC on 0808 800 5000 or come directly and speak to Clare or Jo as Designated Safeguarding Lead. If you have any safeguarding concerns about a child, please use the Preschool email address: [email protected]
Please do not ignore concerns; child protection is everyone's responsibility.
