Writing notice letter to parents

[Mollycat1]

Hi,
I am going off on maternity leave in 9/10 weeks and want to give the parents official confirmation of the last date I will be looking after the kids. can anyone give me some advice of what to write. Never had to tell anyone that they are leaving before.

Thanks :)

Dear Parents

Please note that I shall be commencing maternity leave on XXXX and you should make alternative arrangements for your child/ren from this date.

Kind regards
