Winter Clothing
As the weather is now cold and wet could you please bring in some indoor and outdoor shoes i.e. wellingtons and slippers. Also can you bring a warm coat, gloves and a hat so we can keep all the children wrapped up when we go outside to play. Could you please make sure that all these items are labelled with your child’s full name.
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.
We would like to welcome all of our new parents and children to Rothley Park Kindergarten
Contact Details
If your contact details change could you please notify the office, so that we can change the details on our database. This is for the safety of your child in case of an emergency. Thank you.

COVID – when returning from holiday and before returning to the kindergarten we will require a negative test result. We regret having to do this but, you will appreciate, it is for the protection of all staff and children.
Red Nose Day
Wear something red for Red Nose Day, week commencing 15th March.. Please feel free to dress up on any day your child attends.
Mobile and Other Recoding 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.
