Dear Parents,

We write to let you know our plans for the coming year at St John's Wood Kindergarten. This will be an exciting year for the kindergarten. We shall be implementing the Government's new and improved Early Years Foundation Stage framework and we are also delighted to inform you that we have approved significant funds to update the teaching equipment, books, materials etc.

Julia Silver is a qualified teacher with experience in Menorah Foundation and North West London Jewish Day School. She is the wife of Rabbi Simon Silver. She is herself a young mother and is looking forward to working closely with you.

Alison Mazin is nursery manager of Danescroft Nursery in Hendon which Ofsted has graded as 'outstanding' and she will be assisting Julia with planning and administration.
