2022 Term 2 Wk 6-7

👋 LIVE FROM THE HIVE … 👋

Welcome this week to new recruit GRACE, who joins us from GymKidz, Newtown and brings big smiles and awesome energy to the team! And next time you’re in the Hive room, check out our WHO’S WHO WALL - can you spot which child pic is which Educator?? In fact, we’ve thrown one into this newsletter, just to get you started… 👀 🤷🏽

We’ve been so happy to break out the DRESS UP RAIL once again. The kids are having the best time with all the wild and wonderful outfits, as you’ll see from many of this week’s photos…

NEW STAFF UNIFORMS will soon be making an appearance. We’re still in red hoodies, but instead of stripes, our t-shirts will soon be yellow or black, with STAFF printed on the back. All staff have name badges too, so please get to know our new faces when you’re dropping off or collecting!

Thanks to EDIE for making the kids delicious FRUIT SMOOTHIES in the mornings. Such a delicious and nutritious way to start the day!! 🍓🥭

🏖️ HOLIDAY PROGRAM 🏖️

Our July HP program is now open for bookings!
We have limited spots available, so please book early and double check the cancellation policy.

🐝 BEE OF THE WEEK 🐝

VASILI in YK, gets a special mention for being super helpful every day - and always offering to do what he can, without being asked.

We also especially love that he’s always thinking of his friends and acting with kindness.


Awesome stuff, Vasili!


💡 PARENT REMINDERS 🤔

Remember: children must be SIGNED IN & OUT at the iPAD. We’re grateful for the overall smoothness of the transition back to this process - thanks for being awesome, everyone!

From 30th June, we’re no longer able to WAIVE THE GAP FEE for Covid-related absences. This means they will once again count as normal absences, with parents being charged for the non-CCS element of the session fee (i.e. the ‘gap’ fee). This will be the case during July HP…

⛄⛄⛄ Remember: it’s COLD!!! please pack warm layers for the kids… ⛄⛄⛄

🛠️ GOING TO A GOOD HOME… 🔩

We bought this great little role-playing tool bench at the start of the year. It’s been great, and the youngest ones love it, but it’s not quite sturdy enough to survive in our busy Hive environment. It would be much better suited to a home setting, and perfect for kids aged 4-6 years…
If you know someone who could really use a lovely little freebie, please email Ellie to organise pick up. It’s in great condition, just needs a little wipe. It took 3 minutes to take down and will go up again just as easily… and it’s all ready to go, in an easily-carryable box!
