Interest Table – don’t forget to bring items in for our interest table that link to our weekly topic or book; we can share these items with our friends at circle time.
We have added a new member of staff to the Treetops Team: Rosie. Rosie is a local mum and her children used to attend Treetops. She will be with us on Monday and Wednesday mornings, working closely with children as an enhanced support worker. We also have a student with us on a permanent basis on Mondays and Tuesdays, her name is Jesse.
As the chilly Autumn months are now upon us, can we please ask for children to bring in appropriate shoes and coats - we are still out and about in the garden, as well as the Daily Mile and outings. Also at Treetops, we promote independence with self care including dressing, therefore, we would appreciate the children having shoes with no laces as these are very difficult for children to put on and off themselves.
School application for September 2024 - don’t forget online school application opened on 6th November 2021.
Treetops September 2024 - if you have not already spoken to Rhiannon or Terri about your child’s session please do so asap; it may feel like a long way off but we are filling up fast and we would not like anyone to miss out on any sessions.
Bookbags – don’t forget to purchase a Treetops Bookbag to keep all your children’s lovely art work safe! We sell them for £5 – just ask a member of staff.
Christmas clothes – to get into the Christmas spirit, we will be wearing Christmas clothes from December 1st; we would love to see all your Christmas tshirts, jumpers, dresses, hats, scarves, gloves and hair accessories too!!

A few reminders;
- Please label everything your child brings to Treetops coats, bags, pots etc.
- Please shut the red gate behind you when leaving Treetops.
- Please wait at the red gate to be waved down by a member of staff at collection times.
- We do ask that no mobile phones are used on the Treetops premises
- When your child attends please provide them with a fruit or vegetable snack for each session.
- Please wait to speak to a member of staff at collection time, if you have any questions or would like a rundown of your child's day. This is a very busy time for the team and our priority is to ensure every child gets to their parent/carer. Once everyone is happily reunited the team will be more than happy to answer any questions or have a chat.
- Please only put your child in a pull up if they are actively potty training.
- Please no shoes with laces, as we encourage independence when getting dressed and undressed
