Pre School Newsletter November 2026
November Newsletter
Here at Tots and Juniors we have had a wonderful start to the new academic year as we’ve welcomed new friends and families to the setting! We look forward to sharing experiences with you all and helping your child/children grow and learn as they explore our preschool.
We have recently had a spooktacular half-term celebrating Halloween where the children have joined in with a variety of activities such as pumpkin picking and carving, exploring our senses with potion making, baking yummy Halloween themed treats, as well as dancing and dressing up all week. The children have also been celebrating other festivals such as Diwali, Bonfire Night, and Remembrance Day!
Recently we have introduced Billy and Bonnie our nursery bears! You might have seen them already on our closed Facebook group. The children have loved taking Billy and Bonnie on adventures and sharing photos with their friends. Already Billy and Bonnie have been on some incredible adventures. They’ve been to the farm, explored a pumpkin patch, met some highland cows, learnt how to dance at ballet class, and travelled on a train to Chessington!
In preschool we are introducing a 'book library' where you and your child/children can take a book home. The book library will be available at drop off and pick ups. Simply fill out the form, take the story home to read together and then once you are finished bring the book back and take out another. It's a great way to get children excited about books, extending their imagination and providing that lifelong love of literature.
Parent/Carer Challenge
In preschool we have a family tree board! It is looking rather empty now that our preschool leavers have gone to school. However, we have some lovely new families that we have welcomed here at Tots and Juniors and would love to have your family photo displayed on our board.
Please could you provide or send over a beautiful picture of your family for us to display.
The children love talking about their families and looking at photos of their loved ones as it is a great opportunity for children to develop their communication skills and develop a wider understanding of the word ‘family’ and how all families come in different shapes and sizes.

Attention
Now that the colder weather is fast approaching, please could you provide your child/children with coats, hats, and gloves for outside play as we use the garden in all weathers. Please name all items of clothing.
If you have borrowed any of our spare clothing, please could you return them.
I would also like to take this opportunity to remind parents about parking and consider where you park when dropping off and collecting your child/children to ensure you are not parking on the neighbours’ driveways. Thank you.
