A: Problems with our Phones and Internet.
Unfortunately, we are having some problems with our phones and our internet. Our phone calls are randomly cutting off mid call. We are very sorry if this has happened to you. Calls are cutting off on incoming and outgoing calls. If your call gets cut off we will try to ring you back, if we know who you are.
We buy into ICT support services, and our support technician is trying to resolve this. We are contacting our internet provider, and our telephone provider, where checks are being done and tests are being carried out, but we do not know what the problem is yet.
The staff are all finding this very frustrating, and I’m sure parents are too. I can only apologise to everyone and let you know that we are chasing this up daily to enable our services to be working again.
B: Parent Consultations.
We aim to hold Parent Consultations every term. Little Nursery Consultations will be taking place during the week beginning 9th February 2026. Parent Consultations are not compulsory, but if you would like an appointment please arrange this with your child’s keyworker when they are outside before sessions begin. These consultations will be on the telephone, will last 5 minutes and be at the following times:
Mrs Brinkley Monday 9th February between 4:30pm and 4:55pm
Miss Gaffney Tuesday 10th February between 3:15pm and 4:00pm
Miss Gaffney Wednesday 11th February between 3:15pm and 4:00pm
Miss Tyler Thursday 12th February between 3:15pm and 3:35pm
Miss Allen Friday 13th February between 3:00pm and 4:05pm
Details of Big Nursery Consultations will be in next weeks’ newsletter.

What are the children learning about this week?
The theme this week is The Three Billy Goats Gruff
This week we will be reading The Three Billy Goats Gruff in school and there will be lots of learning opportunities based on the book.
Children will be able to retell the story outside, there will be a bridge for the children to ‘trip trap’ across, while pretending to be a Billy Goat and they can take it in turns to be the angry troll, just like in the book. As the children play, they can include repeated refrains from the story such as ‘who’s that trip trapping over my bridge?’.
There will be a variety of small world scenes for the children to explore and become familiar with the story and its characters. As the children play, they can extend invitations for their friends to join them and take on different roles. We also have the story available in different formats, such as pictures on the magnetic board and also on the interactive screens in the classrooms.
The learning intention this week is for the children to understand the concept of heavy, light, long, short and more or less in meaningful contexts. This means we will explore differences in size, length, weight and capacity.
Staff will also support children with our 7C’s learning intention of the week, which is to safely use a wide range of tools. Children will be shown how to use scissors, sellotape dispensers etc. safely and effectively.
D. Willow Lending Library.
We have had a number of new families joining us this term, so we just wanted to remind parents that we operate a lending library of children’s books.
Willow Lending Library
Welcome to Willow outdoor lending library. We are open every day from 8.15-8.45am and from 3.00pm-3.30pm.
Please choose 1-2 books with your child and write the names of the books under your child’s name in their colour group folder before taking them home to read together.
You can change the books as frequently as you wish.
Please look after our books.
*Please ensure that you have left the library area at 8.45am prompt before children start to enter the school gates in the morning. THANKYOU J
Top Tips for Reading with your child
- Let your child choose what they would like to read.
- Make sure there are no distractions.
- Sit close together. Encourage your child to hold the book and turn the pages too.
- Look at the pictures. Talk about what can be seen on the page.
- Ask questions and talk about the book. Give your child time to talk.
- Have fun – there is no right or wrong way to share a story.

A: Progress so far…
B. What are the children learning about this week?
C. School Rules.
A. Progress so far…..
We have been back at school now for almost two weeks. Usually by this time, all enrolments for the Spring Term have happened, and we are well on the way to settling everyone. We do seem to have a number of the very youngest children off with various illnesses, so I cannot say that we are all settled in yet.
We are all really enjoying getting to know all our new pupils. We want the children to learn that all the adults here are friendly adults who are here to help them. We begin by smiling at the children and displaying positive body language, to make them feel welcome. We try to be interested in the children and what they are choosing to play with. We join them in their play and talk gently to them, encouraging children to begin to trust the staff.
These transitions are challenging for children. Before they start nursery, children are used to their family routines, where interactions and organisations are on a much smaller scale. Suddenly, in Nursery, children are surrounded with all these people they do not know, without their familiar toys and surroundings, the noise can be loud sometimes and their familiar grown ups are not around to help them!
Our new starters are looking for their familiar grown ups to come back and collect them. The first few days can be hard, because the children have not yet learnt that their carers will return. When a little time has passed they begin to understand the routine and learn that grown-ups do come back and collect them.
“Is my Mummy coming yet?”
We know parents can find it hard too when your child joins nursery for the first time. It is natural to miss your child and worry how they are doing. We are always happy to take a phone call, and go and find your child in the classrooms and update you about how they appear to be feeling. There is no ‘One size fits all’ solution to settling in children. Each family has individual needs and we do try to support our families individually.
Ultimately, we would like children to feel happy with good well-being when they are in nursery as this is when children become settled and receptive to learning.
B. What are the children are learning about this week?
The theme this week is Nursery Rhymes
The children will be learning lots of nursery rhymes this week and they will share their knowledge by making nursery rhyme pages. As the children work they will be taught the words and actions to the song they have chosen. Each page will be collected up and made into a very special book for the children to bring home. This activity will support the children with our learning intention, to recognise rhythm in spoken words, songs, poems and rhymes, increasing phonological and phonemic awareness. Staff will observe and support the children as they make their nursery rhyme pages, focussing on pencil grip and control when making marks.
Our 7C’s learning intention this week if for the children to be able to participate and feel confident in following nursery rules and routines. We have been reminding the children of the school rules and praising the children as they remember that the rules are to keep them safe and help them learn.
C. School rules:
We encourage our pupils to be independent children. We introduce 5 simple rules very early on, which we use with all the children. We use positive words for our rules, to remind children what they should be doing.
*Walking feet – We say this to remind children that they should walk carefully inside. We have a long interior corridor, that links our classrooms. It is so tempting for the children to run along the corridor. Other children may exit from a classroom into the corridor and that is when we see a ‘Bump!’. We suggest to children that there is more space outside, including a track. If you want to run, choose to go outside!
*Looking eyes –We remind children to use their ‘Looking eyes’ when we gather for a story time and look at one big book together. We encourage children to look at the pictures and at the adult who is teaching. We teach the children to look this way, to encourage paying attention as they get older.
*Listening ears– Sometimes we need children to listen carefully, for example at going home time, when each child must listen for their name to be called out when we try to match adults to children at the front gate. We also use the term ‘Listening ears’ if we are encouraging children to pay attention to what is being taught.
*Little voices– We use this rule to reduce the volume in a workspace. Sometimes at lunchtime the background noise of children chatting together can become quite loud. We remind children to use Little voices so the staff do not have to raise their voices over the children. Children that become excited when taking part in an activity can become loud. Asking for ‘Little voices’ can calm the group.
*Kind hands– Small children who have few words will often use their hands to shove a friend, to make a space to sit on the bench at register time. Some children take part in rough and tumble play at home with family members, but we have to teach them that at school this rough play is not appropriate. We talk about using ‘Kind hands’ as we do not want one child to hurt another.

E. What are the children are learning about this week?
A. Welcome back after the Christmas Break.
We hope everyone enjoyed their Christmas Break. Our pupil numbers grow each term as the academic year progresses, so please try to arrive on time, so we can take everyone safely inside in an organised way as swiftly as possible.
So, as a reminder, Little Nursery Should arrive for 8:45 and Big Nursery should arrive for 8:50. If you arrive late, please be patient, we will admit all those children who arrive on time first, and then come back to admit latecomers. We do understand that parents cannot be in two places at once if you have to drop off older brothers and sisters at other schools.
B. Change of Clothes Bag
Can you please ensure your child’s change bag has all necessary items we need in order to change your child if they wet or soil themselves.
There have been a number of children this week who have not had wet wipes in their change of clothes bag. It is important that all children have wet wipes in their bag, to enable staff to clean children who are wet or soiled.
Please get into a routine of checking your change of clothes bag on a daily basis to ensure it is fully stocked.
C: School Term Dates
The Local Authority, Central Bedfordshire, publishes details of term dates and school holidays on their website: Centralbedfordshire.gov.uk
Type: ‘School term and holiday dates in Central Bedfordshire’ into your search engine to find the correct page.
We are a Local Authority School, and as such we follow the Local Authority term dates.
We have put Willow Nursery School dates for the 2025-2026 and the 2026-2027 academic year on our website willownursery.co.uk on the ‘Calendar’ tab.
D: Labelling belongings
Label all lunchboxes clearly with your child’s name, on the top, so staff can see the name when the box is on the trolley. Label all drinks bottles and containers.
Label all coats and shoes, and any other items that children can take off-cardigans/jumpers/ fleeces. It is much easier to return items to owners when things are labelled.
Two, three and four year olds are not yet reliable when it comes to hanging up their coats, hats and scarves. Our cloakrooms are scattered with children’s belongings by the middle of the session. We do our best to keep belongings with the correct child, but it would be incredibly helpful if parents could name items, especially coats, as this is a time when children often begin to wear heavier winter coats. We do not need fancy nametags, just consider putting your child’s name (or initials), in biro, on the manufacturers label.
E. What are the children are learning about this week?
The theme this week is Goldilocks and the Three Bears
In the Nursery this week the children will listen to the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. There will be a role play area set up for the children to explore and act out the story. They will have the chance to dress up, pretend to eat porridge, sit in the chairs and lie down in the three beds. This will give the children a wonderful opportunity to build their confidence as they join others in play and recite memorable lines from the book.
In the Creative area, children will be encouraged to paint portraits of the characters from this story. They can choose to use character templates or to free paint using colours and styles of their own choice.
There are lots of variations on this story and staff will talk to the children about different endings they may have read about. They will also discuss the language of size from the book and encourage the children to think about why the characters each have different sized objects. Staff will ask the children about their own opinions on issues in the story, for example ‘would you like it if somebody ate all your porridge?’. This is a lovely way to really inspire the children to think about the feelings of other people and how our actions impact upon them.
The youngest children will begin to explore the language of size, linked to the story ‘Goldilocks and the three bears’, comparing bowls, spoons, chairs and beds that are ‘Big’ or ‘Small’. Children will also be able to play with a small world house and appropriate characters to retell the Three Bears story.

A. Reminder –Big Nursery- Applying for Primary School.
Who needs to apply?
Children born between 1st September 2021 and 31st August 2022 are due to start Primary school in September 2026. You need to apply before 15th January 2026
B. Winter Illness.
We are currently experiencing an increasing number of pupils with flu like symptoms. This winter virus seems to be very contagious, as it seems to sweep through each Keyworker group, affecting a good proportion of the pupils. For some children it is taking a number of days to get better. It is affecting the staff too. This cold has been around for about three weeks now. I’ve had three staff off for a few days each, and the majority of the staff have been experiencing symptoms. In some cases, after a few days of feeling unwell, we are finding children and staff are complaining about the feeling of an upset tummy. Some children are having diarrhoea.
The Autumn Term is the longest term. Children and staff are tired, which makes us all susceptible to going down with illness. The staff are very committed to keeping the school fully operational, as they know if they take time off for illness, it adds to the workload for the staff who remain in school. Staff are only absent if they feel very unwell.
The Local Authority Early Years Team has asked nursery settings to send out NHS advice to families. Key information is:
If your child has a high temperature they should not be in school.
I know the majority of our families are working families, and it can be difficult for you to find care for a sick child, but I do ask you to help protect the other children and the staff, by keeping your child at home, until they are well.
Is my child too ill for school?
It can be tricky deciding whether or not to keep your child off school, nursery or playgroup when they’re unwell.
There are government guidelines for schools and nurseries about health protection and managing specific infectious diseases at GOV.UK. These say when children should be kept off school and when they shouldn’t.
If you do keep your child at home, it’s important to phone the school or nursery on the first day. Let them know that your child won’t be in and give them the reason.
If your child is well enough to go to school but has an infection that could be passed on, such as a cold sore or head lice, let their teacher know.
What to do about other conditions
High temperature
If your child has a high temperature, keep them off school until it goes away.
Feeling anxious or worried
It’s normal for children to feel a little anxious sometimes. They may get a tummy ache or headache, or have problems eating or sleeping.
Avoiding school can make a child’s anxiety about going to school worse. It’s good to talk about any worries they may have such as bullying, friendship problems, school work or sensory problems. You can also work with the school to find ways to help them.
If your child is still struggling and it’s affecting their everyday life, it might be good to talk to your GP or school nurse.
Find information and advice about how to help children with anxiety
Coughs and colds
It’s fine to send your child to school with slight cough or common cold symptoms, such as a runny nose, sore throat or headache, as long as they’re otherwise well and do not have a high temperature.
But if they have a high temperature, keep them off school until the temperature has gone.
Encourage your child to throw away any used tissues and to wash their hands regularly.
Chickenpox
If your child has chickenpox, keep them off school until all the spots have crusted over.
This is usually about 5 days after the spots first appeared.
Cold sores
There’s no need to keep your child off school if they have a cold sore.
Encourage them not to touch the blister or kiss anyone while they have the cold sore, or to share things like cups and towels.
Conjunctivitis
You don’t need to keep your child away from school if they have conjunctivitis, unless they are feeling very unwell.
Do get advice from your pharmacist. Encourage your child not to rub their eyes and to wash their hands regularly.
COVID-19
If your child has mild symptoms, such as a runny nose, sore throat, or slight cough, and feels well enough, they can go to school.
Your child should try to stay at home and avoid contact with other people if they have symptoms of COVID-19 and they either:
- have a high temperature
- do not feel well enough to go to school or do their normal activities
What to do if your child has tested positive
Your child is no longer required to do a COVID-19 rapid lateral flow test if they have symptoms. But if your child has tested positive for COVID-19, they should try to stay at home and avoid contact with other people for 3 days after the day they took the test.
Ear infection
If your child has an ear infection and a high temperature or severe earache, keep them off school until they’re feeling better or their high temperature goes away.
Hand, foot and mouth disease
If your child has hand, foot and mouth disease but seems well enough to go to school, there’s no need to keep them off.
Encourage your child to throw away any used tissues straight away and to wash their hands regularly.
Head lice and nits
There’s no need to keep your child off school if they have head lice.
You can treat head lice and nits without seeing a GP.
Impetigo
If your child has impetigo, they’ll need treatment from a pharmacist or GP, often with antibiotics.
Keep them off school until all the sores have crusted over and healed, or for 48 hours after they start antibiotic treatment.
Encourage your child to wash their hands regularly and not to share things like towels and cups with other children at school.
Measles
If your child has measles, they’ll need to see a GP. Call the GP surgery before you go in, as measles can spread to others easily.
Keep your child off school for at least 4 days from when the rash first appears.
They should also avoid close contact with babies and anyone who is pregnant or has a weakened immune system.
Ringworm
If your child has ringworm, see your pharmacist unless it’s on their scalp, in which case you should see a GP.
It’s fine for your child to go to school once they have started treatment.
Scarlet fever
If your child has scarlet fever, they’ll need treatment with antibiotics from a GP. Otherwise they’ll be infectious for 2 to 3 weeks.
Your child can go back to school 24 hours after starting antibiotics.
Slapped cheek syndrome (fifth disease)
You don’t need to keep your child off school if they have slapped cheek syndrome because, once the rash appears, they’re no longer infectious.
But let the school or teacher know if you think your child has slapped cheek syndrome.
Sore throat
You can still send your child to school if they have a sore throat. But if they also have a high temperature, they should stay at home until it goes away.
A sore throat and a high temperature can be symptoms of tonsillitis.
Threadworms
You don’t need to keep your child off school if they have threadworms.
Speak to your pharmacist, who can recommend a treatment.
Vomiting and diarrhoea
Children with diarrhoea or vomiting should stay away from school until they have not been sick or had diarrhoea for at least 2 days (48 hours).

D. Elf on the Shelf…..
That cheeky Elf has been busy in Nursery again! Miss England has been taking photographs of him, so that I can share with you all the things he has been up to!
The Elf has been very wet. We found him under the sea, swimming with his new friend, purple Octopus.
He had disguised himself as a mermaid.
We then found him in the garden. It was very wet, but he had remembered to bring his yellow raincoat, so he was lovely and dry.
Our Cheeky Elf loves to dress up. He loves playing computer games. We came in one day to find him dressed as Mario!
Some of the children recognised the Elf was trying to be a character from K-Pop.
I think they liked the Elf’s purple hair.
The Elf arrived with a whole group of mini Santa’s, holding hands and playing games.
The Elf was dressed as a magician. He was waving his magic wand and saying the word ‘Abracadabra’. When we looked closely, the little Santa’s all had the staff’s faces!
E. What are the children learning about this week?
The theme this week is Christmas and Winter
The learning intention this week is to recognise and describe special times and events for family and friends. It is the last week before we break up for Christmas and also the week of the Christmas party. We have been practising singing Christmas songs that we can perform for Father Christmas when he visits the nursery.
There will be lots of Christmas activities for the children to take part in, including dressing up as Father Christmas and Mrs Claus and having a Santa Fun Run in the garden. There will also be a nativity scene set up for the children to dress up and role play as key figures from the story of Christmas. The children will be able to act out different roles, take it in turns to dress up, help each other in and out of costumes and really explore the story of when Jesus was born.
The children will have the opportunity to share their own special experiences with staff and friends, including talking about what their cheeky elves have been up to at home. We have our own elf at school and each day and the children enjoy looking for him and seeing what mischief he has gotten into overnight; it has become a real talking point for everyone!
F. Notes for the end of term /dates for beginning of Spring Term
On Friday 19th December the school will be open for the parties only. The school office will be closed on Friday 19th December.
The staff would like to say Happy Christmas!
to all our families that celebrate Christmas.
We wish all our families a safe and happy break during the school holidays and look forward to seeing you in the New Year.

F. Christmas Parties :A reminder
A. Christmas at Willow.
We put up our Christmas Trees last week. We have a variety of trees across the school. We have a small pink one with a fluffy pink star on the top. We have some great big tall ones with lots of ornaments on for looking at.
We also have two trees which the children can add decorations to themselves in the home corners.- We see ‘Decorations on, decorations off,’ all day long.
We start ‘Christmas activities’ today. We choose that we can sustain Christmas activities for two weeks, this makes the school feel busy, exciting and different.
So, the school looks Christmassy, and sounds Christmassy with Christmas songs playing in the background. We learn Christmas songs. We have lots of arts and crafts on offer using glitter and glue.
Traditionally, we always offer the opportunity to children to make Christmas cards and Calendars to bring home. (This did start a discussion amongst staff about: ‘Do children see as many Christmas cards in their homes now? Due to the cost of postage?’ Do adults actually write many cards now due to the technology available to us in our everyday lives? Do you still use a paper calendar in you home? Or do you use your diary in your phone?) So we have thought about it, but still decided to offer these activities.
We share lots of books and stories with a Christmas theme, because our current Willow children love stories!
We set up a Stable Role play area, with all the costumes and props required to tell the Nativity Story. We retell the story with the children over and over and over again, so everyone can have a chance to be Mary, a camel, and an angel all in one day! Everyone can get involved. After many days of practicing the staff support the children to ‘perform’ the story to an audience of their friends.
We do not have a Christmas show. We do not have the space here, and the children are not old enough to understand what a performance is. Many years ago we’d stage a Nativity but over half the children would cry and nobody but the staff would sing. It was not a happy event, so we stopped trying to do it.
So, as for most things at Willow, we try to work out what is appropriate to explore within the themes and traditions of Christmas, with 2, 3 and 4 year olds. So we end up with glitter and tinsel everywhere! And then of course we have our parties…..
B. Ensure all payments are up to date by Thursday 11th December.
Please ensure that all payments are made by 9:30am on Thursday 11th December for the remainder of this term and for the first week back.
C. School Office is closed on Friday 19th December.
The 19th December is the school party day. The school is only open for the School parties. The office staff join in with the parties too. Staff will not be doing any administration tasks that day.
D. The Elf on the Shelf……
Miss England has invited a cheeky Christmas Elf to visit Big Nursery. The children have been really taken with him. When the children arrive each day, they find the Elf in a different place.
The Elf first arrived in his hot air balloon. Looking for a place to land.
On Day 2 we found him sitting up high in Room 2 watching what was going on with his binoculars.
The Elf had found his shelf!
On Day 3 The Elf found some dressing up clothes and spent the day being dressed up as a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.
On Day 4 The Elf chose to be friends with all the fashion dolls. He tried living in a Barbie Doll box.
By Day 5 the Elf was feeling very creative. He had been watching all the children painting pictures at the painting table.
He found a big paintbrush, almost as tall as him, and set about painting a magnificent
‘S-Elf Portrait’.
The children couldn’t believe the painting was bigger than their Christmas tree!
They were amazed!
The teachers were amazed that he did not spill any paint on the floor.
Talk to your children about the Elf, they will be excited to tell you about what he has been doing. I will add further photo’s in next week’s newsletter
E. What are the children learning about this week?
The theme this week is Christmas and winter.
There will be lots of exciting Christmas activities this week throughout the nursery and staff will be talking to the children about the upcoming Christmas party. In preparation for our Christmas party, we will be singing lots of Christmas songs and really getting into the festive spirit. When your children come home, you can ask them what songs they have learnt and have a go at singing them together.
In Big Nursery, we retell ‘The Story of Christmas’ with the children. (We are always careful with religious stories to say that ‘This is a story that a lot of people believe to be true’). Our pupil community represents a wide spectrum of religious beliefs and cultures. We aim to create an inclusive environment which is accepting, considerate and mindful of everyone’s family life.
So, for the Christmas Story staff will set up a stable role play area. The children have heard the story of ‘The Nativity’ last week, and can revisit this as they act out the story. Children can choose to take it in turns to retell the story of Jesus being born and people coming from afar to visit the new baby. This is always a very popular activity for the children to join in with, which often culminates in them acting out the story in front of an audience of their friends.
Mrs Griffith’s (volunteer helper) will be coming in on Tuesday to offer a cooking activity: making Mince Pies. As the children cook, they can talk to the adults about whether they like to leave any treats out for Santa on Christmas eve.
F. Christmas Parties
