August 2026 Newsletter
We would like to welcome all our new parents and children to Rothley Park Kindergarten.
FEEE (Funding) Important Notice
In the July newsletter we informed you that, in line with Government Guidelines, we are moving to a 51 week spread for FEEE (funding). This will be effective from the start of the academic year and shown from the September invoices.
We need to emphasise that whilst there is no fee increase your invoices will look different because of the new Government Guidelines. Additionally, because the funding is now spread out over the next 12 months some invoices will appear higher and others lower than the current system. The benefit of this is that you will have equalised billing across the 12 months from September to August. If you have any concerns then please do just come and talk to us about these.
A full explanation of how everything we are doing moving forwards is available on our website, www.rothleyparkkindergarten.co.uk in the tab “Resource Hub”
All parents will be automatically transitioned to the “All In Flexible 30” Funding model as this will be the most appropriate, whilst stressing again that there is no fee increase involved.
Two Serious Incidents- Parents Bringing in Nuts/Products from Home into our Nursery
We would like to remind everyone of the severity of the impact these two incidents could have had on our children’s health and welfare, if nursery Practitioners did not act swiftly on discovering parents/carers bringing in nuts/products into our nursery.
It is our duty to minimise the risk of exposure on this high-risk allergen for the children and practitioners with anaphylaxis diagnoses. Anaphylaxis can be varied in severity; it may cause only mild itchiness and swelling, however in some cases, it can lead to sudden death. Anaphylaxis (also know as anaphylactic shock) is an allergic condition that can be severe and potentially fatal.
To help reduce this risk, we strongly advice all parents/carers to refrain from bringing in any nuts/products into our nursery.
We would like to ensure all parents/Carers that have child/ren who have these allergies that we are doing our upmost best to avoid these incidents occurring in the future.
Bank Holiday Reminder
The nursery will be closed on Bank Holiday Monday, 31st August 2026. It will reopen on Tuesday, 1st September at 8am. We wish you all a wonderful Bank Holiday weekend.
School Leavers
The moment has come to say goodbye to the class of 2026! Many of our preschool children are either departing or have already left. We wish them all the best as they begin their exciting new journey at big school. We encourage you to stay in touch or come by to showcase your new school uniform! We provide both full-time and part-time sessions as needed, based on availability, for all children under the age of five who are transitioning from nursery to school during the school holidays. If you need any further assistance, please feel free to contact us in the office.
