Parents Information
The information below will be helpful for parent's of our nursery children, but can also provide a useful insight to those considering using our Nursery.
If you have any more questions, please give us a call on 01756 709 451 or email us at admin@st-stephens.n-yorks.sch.uk
Policies and procedures
We follow the policies and procedures of the main school. Please see this page for further details.
Uniform
It is important that your child is comfortable whilst at nursery. We ask that children wear the following:
- grey / black joggers, trousers or leggings (covered legs are best when they are climbing outside)
- white top and red jumper or cardigan
- red and white gingham dress or grey shorts
- sturdy shoes with covered toes
- waterproof coat, hat and wellies for outdoor play
Please ensure that all items of clothing are named (you can get fabric sticky labels made with your child's name on at multiple online shops). It is useful if the clothes are easy for your child to get on and off as it helps to encourage independence.
We encourage outdoor, messy and fun activities so easy to wash clothes are best. If possible please include a spare change of clothes in a clearly named bag for each session.
Keeping in touch
Please keep an eye on Tapestry, your emails, and the school newsletter for any information about activities in school and nursery.
Of course we are always on hand to answer questions!
Allergies
We are aware that many children suffer from allergies. It is important to let us know about any that affect your child. Please provide details on your child's information form and meet us to ensure that we manage your child's condition appropriately.
Illness and medicines
In order to keep the spread of infection to a minimum please inform us of any illness/condition which is affecting your child or immediate family e.g. viruses, contagious diseases and head lice. All information will be dealt with confidentially.
Any child suffering from sickness and/or diarrhoea should not be sent to nursery until 48 hours after the last episode.
Our Medicines in School policy is available here.
