\n<\/strong>If your child is going to be absent from nursery, please phone or email the school office on 0141 570 7260<\/strong> before their start time. Although nursery attendance isn\u2019t compulsory, it\u2019s important that we\u2019re informed of any absences, especially if they are unwell or have an infectious condition. Keeping us updated helps us maintain a safe and healthy environment for all children and staff, allows us to follow the necessary health guidelines, and ensures we can communicate promptly with other families if needed. Thank you for helping us protect the wellbeing of our nursery community.Parent Appointments<\/strong>
