Children’s Attendance
At Glenbrae we encourage high levels of attendance to ensure the best possible early learning and childcare experience for all children. If your child is going to be off nursery for any reason we ask that you please phone and let us know. If your child is off and we have not heard from you we will make contact on the first day of absence to make sure everything is ok. Below is our criteria for monitoring attendance:

Between 89% – 80%

3 – 4 days

Good/ Satisfactory – gives your child a good chance to reach their full potential however better attendance will increase the chance of a better start.

Could be Better – Less chance of the child reaching their full potential and can have implications on learning and development.

Not attending nursery can have a negative impact on a child’s academic learning, friendships, wellbeing and overall development. Help us give the children the best possible start to life ensuring they come to nursery as much as possible.
Depending on individual circumstances and reasons for absence, a member of the Senior Leadership Team may meet with you to discuss this and any help or support that we can offer. Please remember that any discussions are to help get your child to nursery.
