48-hour Illness Rule – There is a lot of flu and tummy bugs around at the moment. To prevent these from spreading, please can we remind you to keep your child off for 48-hours from the last episode of vomiting or diarrhea nappy.
If you have any questions about how long to keep your child at home, please call us on 01753 855543 or email: info@theriversidedaynursery.co.uk
We recognise that social networking sites, such as Facebook and Twitter, are widely used by ourselves (nursery team members) and parents. It’s not unusual for parents of children in our care, and even close relatives of parents, to send friend requests to individual staff members. It’s important to highlight that our Child Protection and Safeguarding policy extends to our employees’ use of social networking sites. To meet the requirements of the policy, employees are unable to accept requests by family and friends of children attending the nursery. So please don’t feel offended if we don’t respond to personal social media invites.
If you’d like any further information, please speak to Emma Summersgill or Emma Yarrow.
Winter Clothing Now the weather is getting colder, please make sure your child comes in with clothes they can play outside in, including a winter coat, hat, scarf and wellies. Please make sure everything is clearly labelled with their name too.
Emma Summersgill, owner of the Riverside Day Nursery, said: [pb_blockquote] “We’ve opened up the space and divided the room into two sections using low-level storage, giving the younger babies and older toddlers their own space to play and learn.
“It’s worked out really well and everyone has settled into their new areas really well. The toddlers love having their own independent room to play in, whilst the area for the babies is calm and relaxing.” [/pb_blockquote]
Following the update to the layout, Jemma now leads the toddler area, whilst Shona leads the baby area.
Plans are underway to further develop the baby and toddler room.

[pb_blockquote] “We’re planning to open up the space and divide the room, using low-level storage, to give the younger babies and older toddlers their own space to play and learn.
“Each section will be equipped with lots of age-appropriate toys and activities that the children love, including sensory play, arts and crafts, a reading corner, cosy area and dressing up rail.
“The changes will be gradual over the next few weeks and carried out with minimal disruption to day to day life at the nursery. We’ll keep you up to date about the changes via email and the newsletter but if you have any questions please do pop in ask.” [/pb_blockquote]
