June Newsletter 2023
Last Month’s Activities:
The children, staff and parents had an amazing Coronation tea party. It really showcased the happy Giggles community. Thank you for all the support from parents.
The children had great fun making flags, crowns and playing on the throne being kings and Queens.
The children have also been playing in our Giggles shop, making shopping lists and serving their friends.
This month we have started our homework bags, which many of you have already completed and returned. There will be one more in July before some of the children leave to start school.
Teeth cleaning permission sheets
Please can I ask that all parents sign and return the permission sheets, which were in the homework bags and return no later than 9th June 2023.
We will then await the staffs training with the local authority before we can continue any further.
Starting school?
If you have not yet placed your child’s name and school on our school transition list, please talk to a member of staff.
We complete a school transition sheet, and this form will passed directly to your child’s school if in the Hounslow Borough. If you are attending a school out of Borough, we will hand this to you directly to share with your school.

Sun Hats and sun cream
The sun is now starting to shine
Please can you supply your child with a sun hat and sun cream which are both labelled with your child’s name. We require your child to have at least a factor 30 sun cream.
We will keep both in the nursery.
Special Storytime with parents
The staff at Giggles are now running active story times with a small group of two children and parents.
The nursery will send out invitations.
This month’s story is: Going on a Bear Hunt
New story bags
The nursery now has a few story bags to support children to give up their bottle, dummies & nappies. We also have a few bags to support children when joining the nursery and moving onto school. These can be borrowed for 1 night. Please ask one of the staff members who will sign out the bags for you.
Parents Evenings
Parents evening will be on 12th July 2023
From next week you will be able to book a slot so you can have a one-one conversation with your child’s key worker, and you will be given a report on how well your child is doing and what are their next steps. Your input is always very important to the progress of your child’s development, and we believe that working in partnership with parents is vital to a child’s success.
Nursery summer holiday closing dates have been extended
Due to a change of manager and some prebooked staff holidays we have had to decide to close for two different dates in August 2023.
Please see dates below so you can make alternative arrangements.
