Attendance at Pre-school
To help with efficient running of our Pre-shcool please note the following:
Children are only covered by our insurance during normal opening hours. We do no accept responsibilty at any other time.
Fees are payable monthly. Prompt payment is appreciated to keep running costs down and aid effective administration. Fees have to be charged as usual during periods of absence. Please inform us 4 weeks in advance of any changes or if a child is leaving us.
Please do not encourage the children to bring in toys or treasured items from home in case they are lost or damaged.
The children are encouraged to explore with different materials such as water, paint, sand and glue etc. They may well get messy so please dress your child appropriately. All fastenings should be simple so that your child can quickly and easily go to the toilet. Rainbow "T" shirts and sweatshirts are available to purchase. Please see a member of staff for details.
For safety reasons we ask that the children wear soft-soled shoes and refrain from wearing open toed sandals or wellington boots in the classroom.
