Activity For Mothers’ Day
Ingredients:
Makes: 1 (350g) batch salt dough
125g plain flour
145g salt
120ml water
1 splash of oil
Sieve the flour into a bowl. Gradually beat with a spoon while adding in the salt. Add the water a spoonful at a time while steadily beating the dough until it resembles a dough texture. Add a splash of oil to prevent cracking and breaking up.
Mould into your preferred shape and place yours and your baby’s hand to leave and imprint. Lay them on some greaseproof or baking paper and on a baking tray. Cook them on a VERY low heat (around 100 degrees C/ 202 F) for up to 3 hours. If the shapes are over 1cm thick then they will probably need to be turned over during cooking.
Wait until cooled when removed from oven before glazing with paint.

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
COVID – Polite Message To All Parents and Carers
As COVID-19 restrictions have eased, Rothley Park Kindergarten must take a careful and a balanced decision regarding keeping everyone safe, therefore, we are asking you continue to wear your face covering when dropping and collecting your child/children to and from the nursery.
This is a parental choice and optional.
