Important Notice To All Drivers
Could we please ask all parents to drive carefully into our car park. , We are noticing, on daily basis, that parents/carers are driving too fast. Please be aware that there are young children arriving and leaving our premises, therefore, we are asking everyone to drive with care. If car parking spaces are not available at the front of our nursery we have a large car park to the side of our premises. We do not want anyone parking outside our office waiting for a space become available at the front. We are very fortunate that we have off road parking just a few steps walk into our nursery entrance.
