Weather Update

7.Jan 2009

All seems well this morning, although the roads are very icy.  There doesn’t appear to be any more snow and we are open as usual!  Please take care making your way to nursery and do not enter the car park as you will not be able to get back out again!

Adverse Weather

During times of adverse weather we will do everything we can to ensure the nursery remains open.  However, for the safety of the children, parents and staff we had to make the decision to close the nursery yesterday.  

Today the weather seems to have settled and we are pleased to say that we are open as usual!

There are mixed reports via the media for tomorrow’s forcast and we will therefore update the website throughout the day should the weather deteriorate.

Children In Need 2009

Thanks to the hard work of the team at Jumbles and the tremendous support from our parents we have managed to rise a fantastic £688.21 for Children In Need.

The event started on Friday 13th November with our ‘Big Quiz Night’, where parents and friends joined us for a light hearted quiz and pie and pea supper.

The following week involved the children having a ‘Mad Hair Day’, Wear your clothes inside out day’, Sponsored Silence for Nicky and Keeley (Aaahh, it was bliss!) and ‘Bake a Cake Day’.  On the big night the girls at Jumbes dressed up as Disney Character’s and travelled to the Blue Planet Aquarium, where the BBC filmed live broadcasts for the evenings show.

Thanks to everyone for supporting us and joining in all the fun activities.
