CABIN KIDS CHILDCARE
                  Where  every child shines

NEWSLETTER – JUNE 2026

 

Dear Parents 

Well, it looks like Summer has finally begun.  The days are longer, and the sun is shining. As always, we just have a few things to mention. 

 

WEATHER 

RAINCOATS - Please ensure that your child has a light raincoat / waterproof jacket with them every day.  Some days are still a little chilly, so please also ensure that your child has a light fleece/jumper with them every day as well.  The children occasionally go on school runs, and some days are still quite chilly.  

HATS – We have a bag of hats that the children can wear, but they are welcome to bring their own (labelled) hat.

SUNBLOCK – We would like to ask that all children have had sunblock applied before they arrive at the cabin in the mornings. We will then reapply sunblock later in the day.  If you have forgotten to apply sunblock to your child, please let us know.   

 

SPARE CLOTHES 

We have a few items of clothing in our spare clothes box. If your child goes home with an item of clothing from our spare clothing box, please could you return these items as soon as possible.  Please also ensure that your child has a change of clothes in their own boxes and replace them when necessary. We will be checking their boxes this week to ensure their spares are appropriate for the weather.

 

SEPTEMBER 2026 

I am currently working on the 2026/2027 list. If your childcare requirements are changing from September 2026 or anytime in the following school year, please let me know ASAP so I can fill any vacancies that arise.

 

SETTING CLOSURE 

Jade is getting married on the 19th of October 2026, so we will be closed on the 19th and 20th of October. Carmen (who many of you know, is my sister and used to run Cabin Kids with me, before she moved away) will be covering for Jade while she is on her honeymoon.

 

 

SUMMER HOLIDAYS 

I am currently working on the summer holiday roster. If your child does not normally attend during the holidays and you would like space, please let me know. If your child normally attends during the holidays and you are going to be away at any point, please let me know. I need this information as soon as possible so that we can plan our own time off and ensure the holidays are staffed according to the number of children attending.

 

POLICIES

The policies of the setting have been updated, and all parents will receive our new policy booklet with a breakdown of what has changed. At the end of the booklet is a link to sign the form saying you agree to the policies. Please send this back promptly.

 

FEE INCREASE

From September 2026, there will be a fee increase, and this information will be sent out Asap.

 

MENUS

From September, we are considering moving our main meal of the day to lunch and having a smaller, lighter meal in the evening. If anyone would like to give an opinion on how they feel about this, please let us know.

 

 

We are looking forward to the new term.
