Illnesses
We have had 5 confirmed cased of scarlet fever (4 children and 1 adult), we have attached a fact sheet from Public Health England. There has been no more cases of chicken pox and a few cases of tonsillitis and hand, foot and mouth. Please see NHS guideline for advice if you are concerned. We have still had some high temperatures this week. Please can we remind parents that our policy state that we do require children who have received Calpol at nursery to be collected within the hour. We do appreciate some parents have to travel for work and that can make getting back may take a little longer. However, although we do try our best we cannot provide one to one care for children who are unwell.
Extra Sessions
Please can we ask that if you need to book any extra sessions or breakfast clubs to email Toni. If you require a permanent change of sessions, please email Corrin. If Corrin receives extra sessions emails, she will forward these on to Toni who will get back to you as soon as she can.
Lost Item
We have had something handed in from the car park this morning. If you think you have lost something, please let management know and they will return it to you.
Thank you all for your continuing support. From the Wonderland team.
