Health Information

Good morning ,

I have downloaded a fact sheet about Vitamin D in children's diets - this will be on the noticeboards today . It is estimated that 95% of pre-school children in the UK don't obtain the recommended daily amount of vitamin D. Current government recommendations for vitamin supplements for under 5's  have a poor uptake with only 20% of this age group taking a vitamin D supplement . For more information , please read the factsheet .

A reminder of some security points . Please ensure that you close and chain gates in the garden area every time. Do not allow your child to climb on the fences or gates. Drive very , very slowly in the carpark as there may be children there. Please don't let anyone into the nursery buildings, and if anyone other than you will be picking up your child, please call to let us know (you don't need to do this if its  a regular arrangement that we know about). If your child will not be attending nursery for any reason , please tell us . Written notice of holidays would be appreciated(an email is fine-  marion.barker@clns.co.uk))and in the case of illness we need to alert other parents - Even if you're just having a day at home please call and let us know .

Please note that our late-pick up policy also applies to children only in for the morning . Children not staying for the afternoon must be picked up before 1:30pm . If you are going to be late , please call and let us know - otherwise you will be fined - the current fine is £10.00 /15mins or part . The full policy is in your welcome pack , and all nursery policies are available in each department.

So January is finally over(been a long month!) and we are looking forward to Valentines Day 14th Feb(dont forget that one!) and Shrove Tuesday 28th Feb(Pancake Day) as well as the arrival of spring!
There is a Parents Forum meeting scheduled for Wednesday 22nd Feb - if you have anything you'd like raised at this meeting , please see any member of the forum - this year's representatives are: Angela Bichan , Lyn Cowie , Hazel Farquhar , Mirjam Green, Claire Molloy , Alison Siggins , Sacha Waldin and Susan Yule.
