Notices for Parents
Please Don’t Bring Food into Nursery
We have children attending nursery that have food allergies, including allergies to peanuts, oats, and dairy products. Although a reaction can be mild, a child (or anyone) with a food allergy is at risk of having a serious, life-threatening anaphylaxis reaction.
To keep everyone safe, please do not allow your child to bring extra food, even small snacks, to nursery at any time.
Fee Payment Reminder
Please be reminded that nursery fees are due on 15th of each month. If your child is absent for any reason due to illness or holidays, sessions are still payable.
If you have any issues regarding payment, please contact Nikita, our Nursery Manager, as soon as possible in advance of payment.
Labelling Clothing
It is the time of year when the children need coats, hats, gloves, scarves, jumpers, and wellies – that’s a lot of clothes! If you want to make sure everything comes home again, please ensure everything is labelled with their name.
Cold Weather Clothes
Jack Frost is most definitely nipping at our nose. As the weather becomes colder, please make sure your child has everything they need to stay warm and dry when they come to nursery, including:
Please make sure everything – including hats and gloves – are clearly labelled. Thank you.

Here are this month’s parent reminders for you:
Fee Payment Reminder
Please be reminded that nursery fees are due on 15th of each month.
We’d also like to remind you that as per our nursery Terms and Conditions, if your child is absent for any reason due to illness, holidays, or circumstances arise beyond our control which force us to close at short notice (for example, extreme weather conditions or government closure to minimise the spread of Coronavirus) sessions are still payable. It is also not possible to swap nursery sessions.
If you have any concerns regarding payment or would like any further information regarding the above, please contact Nikita, our Nursery Manager.
Nursery Famly App Reminder
As you know from time to time we send out updates via our nursery Famly App. While we always endeavour to respond to your messages as soon as we see them, the app’s feed isn’t constantly monitored throughout the day. If you have an urgent message, please contact the Nursery office: 01753 855543 or email info@theriversidedaynursery.co.uk. Many thanks.
Warm Weather Clothing
The British weather has finally got the memo that it’s summer, hooray! With the weather set to stay warm for a while, please make sure children come to nursery in light clothing and sun hats – please make sure everything is labelled.
Please also ensure the children have suitable footwear, such as toe-covered sandals or trainers. Please avoid crocs and flip flops, as although they are easy to put on, they do cause slips and trips.
Sun cream Reminder
We supply Factor 50 Hypoallergenic Children’s sun cream but you may wish to use a different make. If you do, please can you supply the sun cream and make sure it is clearly labelled with your child’s name.
