Parents Together meeting - Monday 15th May 9.00 – 11.30

Child Safety Week 15th – 19th May

Please come along for child car seat checks on Tuesday 16th May 8.45 – 10.00 and 12.30 – 1.30. These sessions have proved such a success in the past. Parents who have previously had car seat checks have been extremely grateful for the checks.

The Road Safety Team will be in on Thursday 18th May to promote road safety with all the children, including some sessions for parents. We’ll let you know the times nearer the date.

On Friday 19th May there will be a First Aid session – please book on now at reception for a FREE place. First aid comes in handy in a variety of different situations. Accidents happen all the time, after all, so knowing what to do in an emergency is important. If you have children, though, knowing how to perform first aid becomes much more critical. While accidents can and do happen to virtually everyone, they tend to happen with kids a lot more frequently. This course will give you some basic information about what to do in an emergency.
