Horay Mark is now qualified to playwork level 2 and will be doing his level 3 in the next month or two. Rickie is coming to the ned of his course. Congratulations Mark the long hours at the computer have paid off!
We have been spending time in the outdoor space this week and it has been so nice. We are very lucky to be able to set up our playspace outdoors and also have the additional space of the field, playground and also the playroom if the children need shade. In warmer weather we will do this more, so expect to see us outside.....hats please.
I am sending out a request to all parents or anyone else in the community who has old toys or items we could use for role play to bring them into us. We really want to build on our resources to be able to offer the children as much fun as we can. have a think before you go to the tip or charity shop....can we use it at kids club? Photos of our outside fun will follow.

Mark and Rickie are getting closer to completing their training with Mark set to complete in the next couple of weeks and Rickie by end of April.
We have added some new table covers to our environment to help children identify the different areas we are creating for them. We will be looking at other things to add to make our room more inviting and comfortable for the children. So look out for the changes we make.
Mark is all set to begin the kids club Olympics in celebration of the up and coming summer Olympics. Each week through terms five and six we will have a special activity dedicated to this and the children will have the chance to gain points and win medals at the end of term six.
We will also be celebrating the Queens Diamond Jubilee with a traditional tea party with bunting and also a display and 1950's theme in term five. We will be voting for our Kidz club king and queen to rein during term six. Watch this space for pictures and news on these events
This term we are following the theme of spring and also working in partnership with the schools and their current topics.

We have been working hard with our environment this term and are making really good progress. The room is looking good with brightly coloured table coverings, work on the walls and lots of new toys being introduced.
We followed the themes of Chinese new year, nursery rhymes and being creative. The children have been working on a 500 piece puzzle showing the images from the 1950's in celebration of the pending diamond jubilee which is now complete and we have started a 1000 piece one showing images of the VE day celebrations.
We have had so much fun this term and had some new faces join us, so welcome to them.
We are still looking fo another team member to join us so if you know of anyone who has a qualification at level 2 or 3 let them know there is a vacancy.

We have a job vacancy within the after school club for a senior playworker. Information is on the attachment below. If you require more information or would like an application pack please send a request via the contact us tab.
The closing date for applicants is the 25th November, however if we receive a large number of applicants this may be brought forward. An update will be placed on our blog if this is likely to happen.

Well we are in October already and about to start week five of term one. I have been in a daze for a few weeks as my youngest started school so joined the other mummies at the school gates with teary eyes.

Just to let all of you know we will be running an October break holiday club and plan to open Monday to Thursday with Friday if numbers permit. A down loadable booking form will go on to the site soon. If you prefer one sent to you by post send me a request with your address if you are not already registered to the contact email and one can go in the post.

We hope to see many of our regular families this October as well as some new faces. If you cannot be with us we hope you have an enjoyable break.

Just a reminder to all parents who have not confirmed with me if their child needs aplce this school year to get in touch with me ASAP as i have limited places in the cars every night for collections and some of our evenings are very busy.

Also I will add news from our last two weeks of holiday club on here with pics soon, apologies for the delay my internet went down in the last week before we went away!
