In support of our "All About Me" learning theme, could you please send a couple of photos of your child's immediate family living within your household (including pets) to include on our display.  We would also like to invite you to send a photo or two of something you pass by everyday on the way to nursery from your home.  These will be used to re-create the community journey to nursery.

Please either send photos to James via email: james@chiswicktoddlersworld.com or via Whattsapp 07980 652219

Children who usually attend on Wednesday 23rd September are invited to wear clothes that represent their culture / nationality

We are celebrating children's and teachers' individual family heritage and nationally by dressing up in either traditional clothing or wearing colours to match your national flags.

All children have the opportunity to play and learn across age groups at different points throughout the day and this cross-generational aspect is an important part of CTW. There is also much learning within our different age groups too where, in particular, where our adult focussed activities support children's individual development. The groups are the Trailblazers (our eldest 3&4 year old children) who are in their final pre-school nursery class. The Adventurers (our middle group of 2&3 year old children).  We then have our Explorers - this group is a transitional group (children soon to turn 2 years old) between the Discoverers and Adventurers where they spend time in each grouping fully supported by their key person. Finally, the Discoverers are our youngest 1 year old children).

• Welcome to Naila who covered teacher holidays earlier in the summer from an agency and we've subsquently employed her directly. She joins the team on Mondays and Tuesdays. 

• Congratulations to Federica who has successfully completed her Level 3 Early Years Educator qualification.

• Key persons have been allocated for this academic year and James will email you directly with the name of your child's key person.

• We will be holding parent consulations later in the term.  This is a specific ten minute one-to-one meeting between you and your child's key person to discuss and share your child's learning progress both at nursery and at home.

• The exceptional hot summer looks to be ending as we enter the Autumn weather!

• A reminder please: your children must have an appropriate outdoor coat (not all in one type suits) everyday.  The team can refuse entry if children are not sufficiently prepared with a coat for outdoor play. Please help us by ensuring you bring a coat (with a hood) to nursery in the morning

• Please ensure your children's clothes are labelled with their name to aide jumpers & cardigans returning to them at the end of the day.

• Thank you for the kind gifts to teachers received from those children and families leaving CTW at the end of August.

• The words in the cards written by our pre-school Trailblazer parents sum up the home-from-home environment CTW strives for in developing children to be ready for their next stage of learning at school reception class.

• "Through grazed knees, tears, giggles, performacnes and art projects, you've helped make a wonderful kid" Trailblazer parents 2026

Children will be designing their personalised Christmas cards, wrapping paper and mugs!

During the week of 21st September, children will be making their own Christmas Card design, which will be sent home to help you decide if you would like to purchase a Christmas item.

More details to follow.
