Note to all parents
Please leave your buggy’s and
pushchairs out underneath the
shelter when you are dropping off
and picking up. Unfortunately, we
do not have enough room in
reception. In an event of a fire we
need to ensure children, staff and
yourself can exit safely out of the
building.
Parking at nursery
Please avoid parking in the emergency bay situated at the front of the nursery, this bay is needed to
be kept clear in case an emergency vehicle needs to access it. We also use this bay to load and
unload your children safely on and off the nursery bus. We have a carpark situated round the back
of the nursery and the provided drop off bays, you can use.
