Pre School Newsletter October 2025
October Newsletter
We have had a lovely October here at Tots and Juniors, we have celebrated Diwali with the children and have been reading books about the festival of light and how people celebrate during the 5 days of Diwali.
We have enjoyed a lovely half term celebrating halloween, with a variety of halloween activities such as decorating the preschool, PYO Pumpkin and decorated it, terrifying biscuit decorating, spooky sensory jelly & more!
We would like to welcome 2 new members of staff, Tabitha and Lisa! Both Tabitha and Lisa hold a great wealth of experience between them. They are both based mainly in our out of school but Lisa will be in Preschool from time to time also.
I hope you have all seen our Closed Facebook page to see our wonderful new refurb we have done recently in preschool! Please look out for your invite to come and look around with your child in the new environment.
We also have a new teddy bear here at Tots and Juniors called Benny! Benny is our setting bear that comes home with the children until their next session. We love to see what your child gets up to with Benny so please post a career observation on Parent Portal.
Parent/Carer Challenge
Challenge your child’s curiosity!
At Tots&Juniors we like to involve our parents/carers.
We believe there are lots of opportunities within nature to learn. Our challenge this month is a nature walk and to share what treasures you find along the way.
- Can you find different sized sticks?
- What bugs can you find along the way?
- How many different coloured leaves can you find?
This is a great opportunity to incorporate a book into your nature walk...
Why not take a look at the “Stick man” book.
See if you can recreate your very own stick man using the twigs and leaves you collect along the way?
We would love to see your creations, so don’t forget to send us some photographs!

Attention
Reminder...
With the colder weather approaching we will still be outside in all weathers so please remember to bring coats for your children to wear outside to play in. Please name all items of clothing.
If you have borrowed any of our TJ's spare clothing please can you bring these back.
I would like to take this opportunity to remind parents about parking and consider where you park when dropping off and collecting your child(ren). We have previously mentioned on Class Dojo and on our Closed Facebook Page however, there are still some cars being parked in front of our neighbours driveways. Please support us with this and ensure you park appropriately, Thank you.
