PEN RECYCLING

We are having a big push this month on recycling pens in the nursery and have a collection box in the office for all finished pens, so please do feel free to bring any you have at home in to us here!

We have our fantastic Baby Learning group for new parents and babies starting at the end of January here at Broadwood. It is a completely free session but spaces are limited, please can we ask that you share this with any friends or family who are new parents and see if they would like to contact us to book in to these sessions.

Reminders

Cold weather!

Its still so cold and due to get even colder soon (BRRRRRR) so can we please ask all parents to remember to provide appropriate clothing for their children when they come to nursery, including Hats, Gloves, Coats and Wellies so we can continue to get out and about even though it is super chilly!

Drop off and collection

Can we please remind all parents that you must not hold the door and let other parents in to the nursery. This is essential to ensure the safety of all the children in the nursery. If there is another parent waiting to come in please grab the nearest member of staff who will be happy to help.

Mobile phones

Please can we remind all parents that this is a mobile free nursery and so we ask you to either leave your mobile phones in your pockets or the car and not use them anywhere on site when dropping off or collecting your child/ren
