Dear Parents/Carers,

We are fast approaching the end of term, therefore please note the following dates and information:

Wednesday 15th July: Children and staff will be celebrating those children moving on to primary school in September. Leaver’s certificates will be given to children in their classrooms and light refreshments will be served. This will commence during the morning and afternoon sessions. Those staying all day will have a light lunch. We won’t be able to accommodate parents/carers during these sessions, however the staff will make it a special occasion for the children. We will ensure that children who find this type of occasion overly stimulating are provided with alternative places to play if they wish to withdraw.

Thursday 16th July: Last day for children currently on roll to attend (normal timings for those who attend full-time or part-time Wed-Fri).

Friday 17th July: Staff on site to welcome new children for a stay and play session (new children only)

Autumn Term 2026:

Those children due to return to us in September, should return on the week beginning: Monday 7th September, 2026. Normal timings will apply.

Please note that staff will be returning the week before to undertake INSET.

A big well done to children and staff at Nell Gwynn, as we received a ‘gold’ award for our summer growing this year from the London Children’s Flower Society.

Thank you parents/carers for your continued engagement and support. We were so pleased to see so many of you attend our recent Creative Day. Hopefully it gave you a good insight into how children are learning through play and the benefits of a creative curriculum.

We will be sad to see so many of our children leave us to move onto primary school. Our thoughts are with them as they begin this transition period and we hope that they settle well into their new schools. Please do come back and visit us when you’re able to!

Have a lovely summer everyone and try to stay cool in this heat

Warm regards,

Philippa Baker
