Important Parent Reminders

Notices for Parents

Sunny Weather

Sun cream and clothing reminder – if you haven’t filled in the consent form to allow us to apply sun cream, and you wish us to do so, please complete and return it to us as soon as possible in this warm weather. Also, please ensure that children have appropriate warm weather 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 future holidays that you have booked as it helps us plan staff annual leave during the busy summer months and ensuring 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 before starting school. The terms of our notice policy are set out below:

Withdrawal: I agree to provide ONE CALENDAR MONTH’S NOTICE (i.e. 1st to 31st of the following month) to leave or to pay the fees in lieu thereof. (Please note that no exceptions will be made. Notice of withdrawal or to change hours, must be received by the Riverside Day Nursery by the 1st of the month for the calendar month ahead. Notice periods of withdrawal or changes cannot be given mid-month to mid-month).

Data Protection

Data Protection has changed. As you are probably aware, new Data Protection laws came into force at the end of May. To comply, we have issued new registration forms to all parents. Please ensure that if you haven’t already returned the completed form to us that you do so immediately to allow us to continue to communicate with you in writing. Many thanks.

Policy Reminder: Data Protection

Data Protection is changing. As you are probably aware new Data Protection laws will come into effect later this month. We have issued new registration forms complying with the new laws to all families. Please ensure that if you haven’t already returned the completed forms to us that you do so as soon as possible. Thank you.

Spare Clothing

Getting messy! Part of the children’s learning experience involves occasionally getting messy at nursery. If you don’t want your child’s clothes to get wet or a little bit messy through art and sensory play, please either send them in to nursery in old clothes that aren’t best or provide them with an old top to wear at these times. We do pop aprons on the children, but they often manage to wriggle out of them!

Development Folders

Child Development Folders You are very welcome to view your child’s development folder at any time or indeed take it home. Please can we remind you that we do need them back within a couple of days so that we can continue to populate them with your child’s ongoing achievements and developments.
