Daily routines

Bringing and collecting children
Getting to school on time and making sure your Key Person knows you have arrived means that your child will be safely registered so that we know who is in school, and who will need lunch. We order lunches by 9:45am, if you are late and want to order a lunch for your child please let us know in advance. At the end of the session, children who are not collected on time may become upset as they are left in school when everyone else has gone. We do understand that in exceptional circumstances, you may be late, please let us know. To maintain the safety of the children in our care we also need to know when you arrange for someone else to collect your child. Please let us know the person’s name and their relationship to your child. It is important that children know who is collecting them.

Contacting you in an emergency
If your child is ill, or no-one has arrived to collect your child we need to contact you immediately. It is essential that you inform us of any changes in telephone numbers. We will ask for a number of emergency contact details from you so that a relative or close family friend can be contacted, if we are unable to contact you.

Snacks and drinks 
Children have free milk and fruit every day; water is available at all times. This means your child does not have to bring snacks to school – please leave sweets and drinks at home. It is very important that children do not share food with other children who may have allergies. If you would like to bring some food to share to celebrate your child’s birthday please talk with your Key Person.

Attendance
Establishing a good attendance routine will be helpful for you and your child for their whole school career and future in work. Please contact us on the first day if your child is unable to attend. If we haven’t heard from you then a member of our admin team will contact you.

Lunch
Lunch is provided at 11.45 am. They usually have a main course (there is always a vegetarian option available) with bread and salad, followed by pudding and fresh fruit. Please pay for lunches on Monday for the week to the Admin Officer. Please put the correct amount in the envelope provided and write your child’s name, date and the amount on the front before handing it in. This will ensure that the amount paid by you is recorded in your child’s accounts correctly. Your child may be entitled to a free school meal. The information to help you apply will be provided if your child is offered a full-time place.

School fund
We have a school fund that we ask you to contribute to. Contributions are voluntary, we ask that part-time children pay £1.00 per week and full-time children pay £1.75 per week. Please pay the Admin Officer; you are able to pay termly if you wish. The school fund supports a wide variety of activities including: - educational visits to farms, theatres, parks woods etc. - visitors and performers to the school - resources for parent/carer workshops.

Clothes, footwear and jewellery
We want children to freely explore the nursery environment and the wide range of activities on offer; sometimes the nursery is a messy place with clay, paint, glue, water and soil. Please dress your child in clothes that are easily washed and comfortable. Children are able to play safely both inside and outside. All children will be outside; climbing and running around for some of the day, so they need to wear clothes appropriate for the weather, and shoes that allow them to do these things safely. Jewellery can get lost easily at school; children sometimes give it to their friends! Jewellery that dangles can catch on climbing or play equipment and cause injury. Please be aware of this and use your judgement about any jewellery your child may wear to school. Elasticated waists let children cope independently with the toilet and this helps them be independent as well as avoiding having toilet ‘accidents’. Children have their own peg to hang their coat/jacket and a bag of spare clothes if needed. Names in children’s clothes mean they are less likely to lose things. Maytree sweatshirts and t-shirts are available to buy; please see Clare Kramo our admin officer.
