🌱Creating Positive Habits for Life
At Pennywell Early Years Centre, we believe that regular attendance and good punctuality help children feel secure, confident, and ready to learn. Just like in school, establishing these routines early on gives children the best possible start, building habits that will support their future learning journey.

📅Why Attendance Matters
Every day at Pennywell is filled with opportunities for your child to play, explore, and grow. From developing early friendships to discovering new skills, each moment builds on the last. When children attend regularly, they begin to understand the rhythm of the day, build stronger relationships with staff and peers, and feel more settled in their learning environment.
Even though they are still very young, routine and consistency make a big difference in helping children feel safe and confident.
⏰The Importance of Being on Time
Arriving on time helps your child start their day calmly and confidently. It allows them to join in key parts of the routine, such as morning greetings and group time, and ensures they don’t miss out on valuable learning experiences.
When children arrive late, it can be unsettling, not only for them, but for their friends too. A smooth, timely start helps everyone get the most out of the day.
🤝Working Together
We understand that life is busy, and unexpected things can sometimes get in the way. If you’re ever struggling with attendance or punctuality, please don’t hesitate to speak to us. We’re here to help and support you in any way we can.
Together, we can make sure your child feels happy, included, and excited about their day, every day.
📞Just a Reminder…
If your child is going to be absent, please let us know as soon as possible by calling the centre. It’s important that we know your child is safe, and it also helps us keep everything running smoothly.
