Mud
As you may have noticed it is very wet and muddy at the moment. However, the children still go outside to play unless it is raining. Please make sure that your child has a coat, gloves, scarf and hat with them every day. Please also make sure your child is dressed in clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty. We provide fleece –lined waterproof overalls for the children to wear when it is muddy and always ensure that the children wear wellies, however, the children will still sometimes get mud on their clothes as they love splashing around in it!
Feel free to send in extra clothes e.g. jumpers/tops/socks, you would like the children to wear when they are going outside.

Bonus Ball Draw
DON’T FORGET to support the BONUS BALL. The maximum jackpot is €45, unless there is a rollover. If all 45 lines are sold that means there will be a prize of €45 for whoever chooses the Bonus Ball drawn in the Saturday night Lotto. The other €45 euro goes towards the cost of running the crèche.

Clothes Hangers for Dressing Up Clothes
If you have any extra clothes hangers for children’s clothes that you no longer use, could you please bring them in as they will be used in the rooms to hang up the dress-up clothes.
All donations would be gratefully
received! .
