Collection of Children and Belongings

the Brian Clarke Room is proving very popular to other users, which means we have to vacate the premises promptly at 12.30pm, having packed away all the toys and equipment. It is therefore much appreciated if you can collect your child promptly at 12pm (our policy states that persistent late collection will incur a minimum charge of £5.00).

Additionally, if your child is in nappies, please send a replacement nappy, nappy sacks and wipes in a named bag. For those little accidents, a change of clothes can be left on your child's peg in a named bag in case needed. We do have a few spare clothes, but find that children prefer their own. If your child does have to borrow our spare clothes, please wash and return them promptly.

Whe it's wet or muddy, we ask that you send an additional pair of shoes (plimsolls or slippers are fine) for your child to wear indoors. On arrival, they can be changed, and the named outdoor shoes left in the bottom of the rack.

Promotions Collections

We have now signed up to three new promotions to help us acquire new kit for the nursey. These are the Haven Holidays Pre-School Fun & Fitness Equipment Giveaway, Sainsbury's Active Kids 09 and Flora Let's Bake! To find out more, visit our new promotions page »
