Parents Evening

On Monday 3rd November we are holding a Parents Evening between 6.30pm – 8.00pm. All parents are welcome. Each room has placed a timetable on the door with your child’s name and their key worker. Just add your child’s name against the time you wish to attend.
NO CHILDREN TO ATTEND PLEASE.

Car Parking

Can we please ask parents to be more vigilant when parking in the nursery grounds as children, parents and staff are always arriving and vacating the buildings. Can you please ensure that you park your cars safely within the three parking areas. If there are no spaces directly in front of the nursery or bungalow, then please use the main car park. Our main priority is the safety of your children, and we thank you for your co-operation.

Late Collection of Children

All children attending 8am – 1pm must be collected no later than 1pm. This is a requirement due to the child staff ratios and the afternoon children attending. Could we please remind you also that the nursery does close at 6.00 pm and fees for late collection will automatically be added to your account.

We will be closing for The Christmas break on Christmas Eve at 2.30pm.

We will then be re-opening on Monday 5th January 2026 at 8am.
