Welcome back to our returning children and families. Hello and welcome to our new children and families. We also have a new Executive Interim Head Teacher at Lillian de Lissa Nursery School. Her name is Mrs Michelle Slymn and we are all very pleased to welcome her to our school. We will be sending out our newsletters every month via email from now on so please keep an eye on your emails.

Thank you for bringing in a bag for your child with clean clothes inside. Please note it only needs to contain clean spare clothes every day. Snacks and water bottles do not need to brought into nursery. Your child will have regular access to fresh water, toast and fruit every day. Please remember to label all clothing to avoid any confusion.

Please pay dinner money to David in the office.
Dinner money is £2.20 a day. Please also remember to pay school fund as this buys the lovely extras for our children. £1 per week for part time children £2 per week for full time children.

If you need help with accessing food banks, benefits, housing, finances, counselling, parenting courses, English classes or adult education please ask to see Mrs Sally Appadu. She can make an early help referral. There are many agencies that can help families at the moment in Birmingham.
You can also access Family Support by phoning Doddington Children's Centre on 0121 477 6440. You can leave a message with the receptionist and a duty family support worker will phone back. They will phone you back on the same day between 12noon and 4.00pm.

We have recently opened Lillian's in our entrance area. It is a clothes rail which has a variety of children's clothes. Parents can take up to 3 items of clothing per week and it is completely free. Parents from N1 are welcome to come to Lillian's.
Ask at Reception if you do not know where to find it.
