Early Morning Risers
We have noticed that an increasing number of parents are arriving very early in the morning.
Please note that staff are required to use the time before 8:00am to prep the day’s activities, therefore, they are not permitted to take on the responsibility of your child any earlier than 8:00am, the time nursery is officially open. This is also an OFSTED and insurance requirement.
We would like to welcome all of our new parents and children to Rothley Park Kindergarten
World Book Day
Be your favourite book character on World Book Day; 5 March- however please feel free to dress up on any day your child attends.
Government Funding Early Education Entitlement
FEEE is available to all children the term following their third birthday, for a minimum of 38 week’s per year. This is claimed by the setting and throughout term time only. Each term can vary between 11 and 15 weeks. The funding hours will be shown on your invoice each month. Please do not hesitate to see us in the office if you have any queries regarding your child’s funding. Funding is offered only over term-time, no funding is available in August.
Health & Safety
Please can you provide your child with nappies, wipes, creams, sun-cream, Calpol or Nurofen when required. We do not have any spares and we are finding this difficult to change your child accordingly without any of their own products. This is for your child’s personal needs to be met. Thank you for your cooperation.

Activity for Valentines Day
Here’s a pretty sun catcher heart to display in your window for Valentine’s Day. Children will enjoy tearing the tissue paper and creating their design.
You will need:
Card
Tissue paper in red, pink and purple
Glue
Instructions:
Using our template (below), cut out a heart from card. Cut out the middle carefully.
Turn over so you are working on the back.
Paint the acetate with a layer of clear drying glue. Stick on ripped up pieces of tissue paper. Stick down any loose pieces with more glue.
Leave to dry.
Collection of Children
Could we please remind you that we do need to be informed if anyone different is picking up your child. A form is available in the office and is to be filled out giving all descriptions and contact details of the designated person collecting on that day.
