Other Information 

Our Nursery is open from 8.00am

Monday to Friday morning 8.00 am-12.40 pm.                                    Please do not be late to collect your children.

After these times, the children are not insured to be on the premises. If there is a problem, please can you phone ahead.

Snack: Morning  snack is provided by the Nursery so please do not send any food or drink. If your child has any specific dietary requirements or allergies please let the Nursery know.

Illness:    If your child is unwell please remember to contact us and keep them at home until they are better, as children need to be fit to cope with an energetic session in Nursery. Health Board recommendations are that children who have been unwell, particularly if with sickness or diarrhoea, need to be kept at home for at least 48 hours since the last bout of sickness or diarrhoea, to prevent the spread of infection. Your co-operation with this is greatly appreciated. 

Wednesdays:   Foreshore (Beach) visits are taking place every week. We are always looking for support to help walk the children safely there and back. If you can assist with walking with your child for these visits can you please let the Team know. The more names we have – the fewer times you would be called upon to help!  There is also a “sign-up” sheet in our front hall.

Thursdays:  We walk along to school for gym at approximately 9.00am returning approximately 09.50/10.00am.

Nursery Contributions:  We ask for voluntary contributions of  £1.00 per week.  We ask you to pay this by 3 instalments of £12 and 1 of £13.  Milk and snack are free of charge.

Security: Children should not press the door release button for the front door.
