A reminder for all parents/carers the nursery will be closed for the bank holiday on Monday 25th August.

Nappy Changing

Could we please remind all parents/ Carers to provide enough nappies, wipes and cream for nappy changing. We do a minimum of 4 nappy changes a day but use more nappies should your child need changing in between those scheduled times. Thank you

Crocs

Could we please ask all parents/carers to provide alternative footwear to Crocs in Baby 1, 2 and 3 please, we are finding the babies are having more tripping accidents, while the children are wearing them. Thank you for your understanding in this matter.
