Sickness
Bright Beginnings Nursery cannot normally undertake the care of sick children.
The nursery must be informed of any child illnesses, sickness or problems before
attempting to bring the child to the premises. Each case can then be
considered strictly on an individual basis.
In the interests of other children and staff it will be necessary to exclude any
child who has been diagnosed with certain contagious illnesses and diseases.
This exclusion will remain in place until the child’s doctor has cleared the
condition.
Occasional absence:
No refund will be given in the event of the child been
absent from nursery for one week. Half fees will be given thereafter.
Nursery Closure dates: The nursery will be closed on all Bank Holidays and for a
period between Christmas and New Year. (See up to date Holiday Calendar).
Other arrangements:
The nursery will provide nappies as required during the course of the day.
Where possible, the children will spend some time outdoors each day.
Therefore, depending on the season and prevailing weather conditions, parents
must provide adequate and suitable outdoor clothing. In summer, a sun hat will
be required. As a matter of course, parents must also provide a change of
clothes.
