I have new families started/starting and I’d like to put out a newsletter for next week, one of the things I want to speak about ( I know we have spoken on hear about it before and I have put it in newsletters before) is collecting from the front door / porch rather then have families coming in one after the other. I find that after I’d encouraged the children to tidy up they see the parent that comes in as a queue to get toys out again and also parents tend to talk between themselves ( which is very nice) when I want to get on and prepare tea etc.

I can’t remember how I worded it before, apart from during the pandemic that was easy... you can’t come in! .but I want to put it in a nice way not to offend anyone but also say if someone needs to talk privately I’m happy for them to come in for that. Anyone good at newsletters? How will I word this please?

Do you all let parents in ? I’m sure when we have spoken about it before some didn’t . Wish I could find the old posts.
