Events

Socialising and Networking Events.

We're planning some further events for parents, guardians and anyone wishing to find out more about Young Discoverers, as an opportunity to meet and socialise with others. Would you be interested in a chocolate evening, pampering session, wine tasting, or anything else? We welcome your suggestions, and will provide more dates for events in due course.

 

First Birthday Celebrations

We first opened our doors at the Before and After School Club on Tuesday 4th November 2008, and at Nursery we opened on Tuesday 5th May 2009.  Since then its been pretty much non stop, and as we didn't get the chance to properly celebrate the Before and After School Club's first birthday, we thought we'd hold off until May for us all to celebrate together.  Plans are already being made for our forthcoming celebrations, and we hope that you can mark the diary and join us for a fantastic event, where we hope to raise some funds for the Nursery itself, and our nominated children's charity. 

 

Events and Additional Services for Children.

Would your child benefit from some additional maths, english or science tutoring. We are able to bring private tutors into the setting for small group sessions where this would be appropriate. In addition, would your child be interested in learning a musical instrument? We are also considering small group sessions for budding musicians. These sessions would attract an additional cost.

Educational Events and focus on the EYFS

Plans are underway for us to hold a series of parents evening to focus on the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) which is the government framework for education which we follow, and how we apply this at Young Discoverers.   We can give you a more thorough perspective on the work that we are doing with your child, and how we track their development and learning.  Our aim is to work in partnership with parents to provide children with the very best pre school start.  We will show you how steps at home can influence their development, and how we can all contribute to learning, and the development folders that we keep and track for your child.  Further information is to follow, however please do ask any one of us if you need any information on the EYFS principles, and if you would like any detail on the work we are doing with your child.

 

Holiday Club

We have had some fantastic times with Holiday Club over the past year, and the next holidays at February half term (15th - 19th February 2010) are set to be no exception. We're delighted to be able to offer this fantastic service again from the nursery premises, and are once again able to offer a fun packed week with a different event each and every day.  Our holiday club sessions will operate between 7.30am and 6.15pm, at a cost of £36 per session.  Each session price includes breakfast, a full cooked lunch, and we will also offer a tea with healthy snacks during the day.  The costs of any trips out including transport and admissions are also included in the price.  We will be taking part in a Woodland Adventure, Chinese New Year Celebrations, a Barge Trip, Baking and Craft Activities, and Viking Festival Celebrations.  Please contact Heather at the Before and After School Club to make a booking.
