Mobile Phones & Other Recording Devices
To ensure the safety and welfare of children in our care we operate a personal mobile phone usage policy which stipulates that personal mobile phones cannot be used by parents, visitors or staff when in the presence of children, on the premises. All staff mobile phones are placed on silence or switched off and are kept in their lockers. Staff can only use their mobile mobiles within the restricted (staffroom) area. As a reminder ‘Phone Prohibited’ signs are displayed at the entrance of both nursery and the bungalow premises. A sign is also on display outside the nursery staff room. Our main priority is the safety of your children and we thank you for your co-operation in this matter.
We would like to welcome all our new parents and children to Rothley Park Kindergarten.
Health and Safety
Please can you provide your child with nappies, wipes, creams, 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 co-operation.
STREP A
MOST IMPORTANT – PLEASE DO NOT COME TO THE NURSERY IF YOU OR YOUR CHILD/REN ARE DISPLAYING SYSTOMS OF STREP A. PLEASE INFORM THE NURSERY IMMEDIATELY WITHOUT DELAY.
Common symptoms of strep A include:
• flu-like symptoms, such as a high temperature, swollen glands, or an aching body.
• sore throat (strep throat or tonsillitis)
• a rash that feels rough, like sandpaper (scarlet fever)
• scabs and sores (impetigo)
• pain and swelling (cellulitis)
• severe muscle aches.
• nausea and vomiting.
Winter Activity – Snow Sensory Box
Why not try our winter snow activity! Create some fake snow using 1 bag of cornflour (approx. 450 grams) and 1 cup of conditioner, then mix together!
Add some natural resources for your child to explore from the outdoors such as pine cones or some small world toys such as winter animals to create your winter play scene!
We hope you all had a very Merry Christmas and wish you happiness for 2023.
