Hello Nursery Families,

We are so excited to welcome our children back to Nursery, as well as meet all the new little ones who are beginning their school adventure with us. Starting (or returning to) school is such a special milestone, for children and for families too!

It’s natural to feel a mix of excitement and nerves at this time. You might find yourself wondering if your child is ready, or what life will be like once they’ve started. This new chapter can feel big, but remember, your calm confidence will help your child settle more quickly. A smile, a reassuring word, and letting them know that you’ll be back to collect them, all make a world of difference.

If you feel emotional on the first day (and many parents do!), try to steady yourself so your child can head into Nursery with confidence and a positive outlook.

A few practical reminders:

• Please label all clothing and pack a small bag of spare clothes.
• If it’s rainy, make sure your child has a waterproof coat.
• We’d also love to have family photos of each child to display in class. These really help children feel at home. Please send photos to admin@holbeach.lewisham.sch.uk.

We can’t wait to share this exciting journey with you and your child.

With warm wishes,
The Nursery Team
