Pre-school Portraits
Beki from Beki Young Photography will be visiting the Pre-school during the week beginning 4th October to take individual photographs of the children for keepsakes, these also make lovely gifts at Christmas time. The photographs will be taken outside and Beki is an amazingly talented photographer who specialises in taking less formal and more relaxed photographs, to learn more about Beki please visit her website www.bekiyoung.co.uk
If you are happy for your child to have their photograph taken, please complete and return the attached slip. Beki will then send out your proofs closer to Christmas allowing you to order directly from her.
All About Your Child
We appreciate that children grow and their interests change, which is why we are asking parents/carers to complete a new All About Your Child form (unless your child has recently started with us), and return it to Pre-school as soon as possible. The form will be in the child’s pocket to take home, thank you.
