Harvard Park Day Nursery LTD.
Notes from the management team: Although this may not have been the start that we were all hoping for, we are here for the time being and we are open for your children. During this time, it may be hard for you to keep a routine at home, come up with continuous amounts of things to keep your children engaged whilst trying to deal with a range of emotions yourself but it is important to remember that you are doing an amazing job and other people’s opinions do not matter - whatever your choices maybe, it is what is right for you and your family and that is what is important. We are keeping up with the updates and will inform you accordingly - we ask that you do the same and if you are away from the nursery, please inform us as to why. If you are off sick from day nursery, isolating at home or simply choosing to stay at home, it is important that you keep your children engaged throughout the day. Pinterest, YouTube and the internet are full of ideas with simple activities which you can replicate at home. We will continue to provide ideas for you via the EyLog and Facebook but if there is anything specific you would like us to help with, email us and we will see what we can do. For our older children in Freedom Zone and Pre-School, if there are areas of learning that you would like help or support with email us and your keyworker will be able to respond. For those parents in Small Steps who are dropping children off and picking up from the back gate, we have purchased a bell and hopefully this will speed up the process for you as we feel that this is something we may be doing for a while before we see any government changes. Thank you for you co-operation and understanding to make this process as safe as possible. We would like to extend that thank you to all of our parents, you support is forever gratefully received. Please beware of bring food from home: for ALL rooms
We have VERY severe allergies which require life saving medication DO NOT bring in any snacks in children’s bags! If children are eating on the go, please inform a practitioner what they are eating and we will handle the situation accordingly. We are a strictly NO NUTS setting which means children can not be eating nuts or bring nut products into the setting under any circumstances.
Clothing and the weather: This is a serious issues and needs to be addressed Please bring hats and gloves! We don’t have spares on site so please make sure you write your child’s name inside the hat and each glove to prevent them from being misplaced! Children MUST be dressed in trousers and jumpers with t-shirts/vests underneath. We are keeping the doors open to keep a constant flow of clean air through the room to reduce the level of germs within the building. This means no summer dresses or skirts with tights!
Dates for you diary and reminders: Please make sure you are informing us if you will be away from the nursery for any reason!
