Winter weather arrangements

Good afternoon everyone ,

Following a Parent Forum meeting last night(minutes in each department) Id like to let you know about some arrangements should we have heavy snow/ice over the winter . We are fully stocked with grit/salt and have arrangements in place for snow clearing . However , given the awful conditions last year, and the subsequent problems this caused , we have decided that in the case of heavy snow , the carpark will be closed until it can be cleared , and then reopened when safe to do so . As we are unable to clear the carpark when its in use , this is the safest option . Notice of closures will be posted on the blog as soon as possible , but please be aware that if you have difficulty getting here due to snow , it is likely that the carpark will be closed .
Also , although we make every effort to ensure that the nursery stays open in adverse weather conditions , this is dependant on our staffing levels . We have several staff who live in Aberdeenshire , others who use public transport , and some with children at school. If roads are blocked , buses disrupted or schools closed , our staff are unable to get here - this means we may need to close early. Again this will be posted on the blog , so please make sure you check your mail when the weather is bad - thank you .

There are still a few gift tags available for the Giving Tree appeal - please remember to have the gifts back to us by Thursday 1st December as they will be collected on the 2nd .

And finally , don't forget its Parents Evening next week - Tuesday 29th November 6-7:30pm - we look forward  to seeing you then !
