Signing in and out: Please read this important notice
It has been brought to our attention that not many people are signing their children in and out of the building. This is a LEGAL requirement, an important health and safety document as well as a child protection one. If there is an evacuation for whatever reason, we use this to check who is present. This could be the difference between a child safely out of the building and a life at risk. Please sign them both in and out. Our practitioners try to remind you where possible but they are often very busy so please remember to do this yourself. Thank you for your co-operation and understanding
We are a no nut setting! Please respect this as we have two very severe nut allergies in the building. One of which is air born. If your child has nuts before nursery, please brush their teeth and wash their hands before you leave and do not give them to them on their way! We really do not want to have to administer an EpiPen and put a child through an allergic reaction. Under no circumstances are they allowed in the building. Suncream:
If your child does full days (even if it is two) please supply a bottle of sun cream for your child. We will label it and return it to you at the end of the week. If your child does a morning or afternoon session, please apply some before you come to the setting! We will be going out and about much more making use of the vitamin D from the sun (when it appears).
If your child is going to school in September:
Please inform us of your choice whether it is staying with us, going to nursery or reception and if you have a last day in mind. Please look at our itinerary to find more information about when funding will cease and other party dates.
