Our Policies

 

Collection of Children

Children must be collected by 6pm.  Children that are collected after this time will incur a late charge of 10 pounds for every 15 minutes.

 

 

 

Sickness

If your child is unwell, we ask you to keep them at home and inform nursery that they won't be attending. 

If your child is unwell at nursery you will be contacted and asked to collect your child, if necessary.

If your child has a prescribed medicine, please give it to a member of staff who will ask you to complete a medicine administration form.  Please do not leave any medication in your child's bag, as this could be potentially dangerous if a child found it.  We are not allowed to administer non-prescribed drugs to your child, other than Paediatric Paracetamol (i.e. Calpol) on the occasions when your child may be suffering from teething pain.

Fees are required to be paid in full for sickness or absence.


 

 

Holiday Entitlement

Two whole weeks per year can be taken as holiday, at 50% of your usual fee.  This is calculated on whole weeks, and not odd days throughout the year.  We require that you pre-book your entitlement, and would be grateful if you could give us a minimum of two weeks notice in order for us to calculate the fees.  The holiday year runs from January 1st - December 31st, and annual leave may not be carried over from one year to the next.  The annual leave entitlement may not be taken during a 'notice period', i.e. during the 4 weeks notice of termination of contract.

 

Personal Properties

When your child starts nursery, he/she is required to bring a small, labelled bag (not plastic please) with the following contents: (each item to be labelled with your child's name also please.)

  • Full change of clothing.
  • Plenty of extra underwear and socks during potty training.
  • Disposable nappies.
  • Sun hat and sun cream (weather permitting!).
  • Wellington boots (for when it's snowing).
  • Any comforter your child cannot be without! (i.e. dummy)

 

Emergency Contact Number

At the time of registering your child, you will be required to complete a section providing information on emergency contact numbers in case we need to contact you.  It is imperative that these numbers are available at all times, and if your mobile phone number has changed, please provide us with the updated information.
