With the warm weather spell continuing please ensure that children have appropriate light clothing, such as shorts, sunhat and sandals (fully labelled). No crocs or flip flops please, due to the risk of trips and falls.
Holidays
Please let us know of any holidays that you have planned as it assists with staff annual leave planning during the busy summer months. In turn, this helps us to ensure that we maintain a strong staff to children ratio.
In addition, we do ask that you let us know your child’s last day at nursery (in writing) before starting school. The terms of our notice policy are set out below:
