In our setting we adopt Fife Council’s guidance and procedures for non-attendance at nursery.

Although attendance at nursery is not compulsory, it is in the best interests of the child to have a regular pattern of attendance.

There may be occasions, however, when attendance becomes irregular or may stop altogether. This may be due to difficulties in the family or because the child is finding separating from a parent difficult or for other reasons that nursery staff should be aware of. We will always take every possible step to discuss the situation with parents, carers or other agencies and to encourage and offer support to the family on returning to nursery.

If you have concerns about your child’s attendance at nursery, please get in touch with us.

If your child is going to be absent from nursery for any reason, whether they are unwell, on holiday, having a family day, or for any other reason then please remember to let us know.

We would like to ask if you could please contact us using either of the following:

Tel: 01383 602457

E-mail: dulochnursery.enquiries@fife.gov.uk

If we haven’t received notification of your child’s absence through either of these methods, we will contact you to check that everything is okay.
