Health Notice

Good afternoon ,

We have received a notice from the NHS that there is currently an outbreak of hand,  foot and mouth across the country , and we have had one confirmed case in the nursery today . This is a mild viral condition that can cause blisters on the hands , feet and mouth - though not necessarily all of these. The NHS have advised that if the child feels unwell or has a temperature , they should not attend nursery . If the child does not have a temperature , and is otherwise well , they may attend nursery . If you would like further information on this or any other illness/infection , I can recommend   www.patient.co.uk  . In the meantime , please make use of the hand sanitiser available in both buildings - thank you .

Some of you may have noticed that the mini bus has gone- many a happy journey was made in this , but it was time to say goodbye - we shall be getting a new bus in the spring time to be used for trips and outings . In the meantime , the extra space has allowed us to erect a new shed - the children and indeed some of the staff were fascinated watching our handyman Fred , build this- it was  a major undertaking!  The ongoing maintenance continues , with new windows in the sunflowers room and painting in the schoolhouse - this will be going on  for sometime as all work needs to be done while the nursery is closed - so please look out for wet paint over the coming weeks !

A reminder to come along for Parents Evening on Tuesday 29th November 6:00pm to 7:30 pm - hope to see you all there ! Please let staff know if you'll be able to attend - it always helps to know how many will be coming along - thank you .

And finally , the nursery will be closing at 6pm on Friday 23rd Dec and re-opening 8am Wednesday 4th Jan 2012
