New Gardens

Our new garden installation will begin week commencing 9th May. Whilst the work is being carried out, the children will be sharing the bungalow play areas for their outdoor activities. The completion of the nursery gardens should take approximately between 2 – 3 weeks. Health and Safety Risk Assessment will be in place and will be carried out daily whist the work is being completed. The installation team hold a Disclosure and Barring Service certificate so that we are assured of your children’s safeguarding. There will be no members of the installation team inside the nursery premises at any time, they will have no contact with any children whilst carrying the work, for a smooth installation process with minimal disruption. We apologise for any inconvenience, however, in a short time we will have an accessible and attractive space for all children, embracing the new gardens to become valuable and fundamental part of our practice. The children will have a great outdoors environment to explore and escape to play.

We would like to welcome all our new parents and children to Rothley Park Kindergarten

Summer Clothing

As the warm weather is approaching (we hope!) please can you provide sun cream and a sun hat clearly labelled with your child’s name. This will allow us to take your child outside to play in the sunshine. Unfortunately, if your child has no sun cream of their own, then they will have to stay inside and not be able to enjoy the out-door play. Thank you for your cooperation.
