We realise that some of you need to collect your children early on certain days as they have extra curricular activities which they attend. However, we have found that if they are picked up between 3.00 and 3.30pm, this is very disruptive for the group. The final half hour of the day is our ‘wind down’ time, when children have a quiet story or circle time and reflect on what they have done during the day. For this reason, we ask that children who need to leave a little early are collected by 3.00pm, so that this is not interrupted. Thank you for your cooperation with this!
