Attendance
26/02/18 01:28 PM
We have many children with a very high absence rate.
This has a major impact on their Early Education. We may also have to inform KCC regarding the funding, which then may be withdrawn!
If a child is unable to attend nursery due to illness, please contact the nursery as soon as possible.

Drink Bottles

Please make sure your child's name is on their own drink bottles in lunch boxes.
We have purchased a plastic drink bottle for each child, to allow them to access drinking water at all times during their session/s. However, these are to remain at the setting. If they are taken home and lost, then we will ask parents to pay for a replacement.

Bikes/Scooters/Pushchairs
26/02/18 01:25 PM
It is fantastic that some of our children ride their bikes/scooters to and from nursery, but can we ask that they do not come into the nursery.
We don't have the storage facilities to store them and we've had a few altercations amongst the children about wanting to ride them around the garden!
You can leave them outside, but this is at your own risk.
Please may we also ask for you not bring buggies/pushchairs into the nursery - there is a health and safety risk when we have a number of them at the entrance.

Please remember fees are payable weekly and still apply if your child is sick/absent or on holiday. Fees can be paid in cash at the nursery, using Internet Banking or Paypal. (See Fees & Payments page for details.)
PLEASE NOTE: If the nursery is OPEN, and you decide to not send in your child (sickness, holiday, weather, etc), you will still be responsible for your child's fees. If the nursery is CLOSED or closes during the day for maintenance emergencies, weather etc, you will not be charged for any missed sessions.
Please make sure fees are paid promptly either via our website or by paying cash within the nursery. If you are two weeks or more in arrears we reserve the right to terminate your child's place (this does not affect the 15 hours funded sessions.)
