SEVERE WEATHER

In the event of severe weather we would ask you to check NLC website to ensue that the centre is opened.  Caretaking staff within their remit have the responsibility of ensuring that the paths from the inside gate to the entrance doors of each building remain clear, however they are not responsible for clearing nor gritting the car park.  Therefore, if you intend to drive to the centre please enter with due care and consideration and park only in the spaces provided and not along the pathway/fence of the birth to three building as the safety of all users is of paramount importance.

It may be good idea to telephone the centre to ensure that staff have made their way safely to work before setting off, as without the majority of staff present we would be unable to let you leave your child/ren for their session.  Or if the weather turns severe during your child’s sessions and we are forced to close, it is essential that admin staff have an up to date telephone contact number.

We thank you in advance of your co-operation and understanding during severe weather situations.
