Keeping Ill Children Away from Nursery
As we enter the season of coughs, colds, and stomach bugs, we kindly remind all parents to be cautious about sending unwell children to nursery.
If your child is experiencing any of the following symptoms, please ensure they stay home:
- Fever (a temperature above 38°C)
- Signs of a cold or flu (e.g., coughing, sneezing, runny nose)
- Diarrhoea or vomiting
Children should remain at home until at least 24 hours after symptoms have fully resolved and their temperature has returned to normal.
This helps prevent the spread of illness to other children, parents, and staff.
Let’s work together to ensure everyone can stay healthy and enjoy the festive season.
If your child is unwell or you’re unsure if they should come in, please get in touch: info@theriversidedaynursery.co.ukor call 01753 855543.
Cold Weather Clothes
With colder temperatures on the way, please ensure your child has:
- Waterproof footwear: wellies, trainers, or other sturdy shoes suitable for outdoor play
- A waterproof coat or raincoat
- A waterproof all-in-one suit (for babies)
- Hats and gloves to keep them cosy on chilly days
Don’t forget to clearly label all items, including smaller essentials like hats and gloves, to avoid mix-ups.
Fee Payment Reminder
Please be reminded that nursery fees are due on the 15th of each month. If your child is absent for any reason, including illness or holidays, sessions are still payable.
If you have any concerns regarding payment, please contact Nikita, our Nursery Manager, as soon as possible in advance of payment.
