All about me

To help the children during the settling in

 period we will be focusing on ‘all about me’.

If parents could bring in a bag or box

 filled with items their child likes we will

 use these to support personal, social and

 emotional development and communication.

Septembers Policy of the month- Jewellery

Jewellery Policy

The welfare and safety of the children attending St Mary’s Nursery is paramount. The Management of the nursery feel that the implementation of this policy is required due to information which has been given to staff when attending training courses.

Advise and clarification of our statutory duty in relation to the wearing of jewellery has been sought from a number of agencies and experts, including;

Environmental Health

Health and Safety Officers

Equality of Human Rights Commission.

There are a number of items of jewellery which can be dangerous when in a Early Years Environment. Therefore all items of jewellery shall not be worn by children attending or staff/students/ visitor working within the nursery. Pins/clips used to secure headscarves, MUST be worn on the inside of the scarves.

There are exceptions which the law states are classified as ‘Articles of Faith’ and NOT jewellery. Our research has shown that these articles do not include;

earings,

nose studs

tongue jewellery

other piercings

necklaces

rings (excluding wedding bands)

Parking update

Please note the ANPR camera's monitoring the parking restrictions on west park road are now live. 

Parking restrictions

Dear parents,

Apologies regarding the parking on West Park Road, we are in the process of contacting the appropriate people and hopefully will be able to come up with some sort of solution. It appears ‘parking eyes’ are being installed to fine those parking on the yellow lines at restricted times so please be mindful of this. In the meantime if you live locally walking to the nursery may be the better option, or if you are arriving by car parking can be sought on Granville Road which is a short walk from the nursery(please see map below).

Please bear with us during this time.

Thank You

Sarah
