Tips from the Nurse
As the weather continues to get warmer, please apply sunscream each morning before sending your child to nursery. It is also a good idea to put sun cream and sun hats in their bag each day, along with their change of clothes.
We are pleased to report that we have recently replaced all the toilets and towels in the nursery with brand new ones!
