Notifying Us Through the FAMLY App

 

Please remember to notify us when your child will be absent from nursery via the FAMLY app. Absence because of sickness will only receive a meal and snack refund if reported before 8.15 am on the day of illness. If you are aware that your child will be absent for more than one day, you should inform us on each day of absence, or you can add several dates to one report. Absence due to a holiday should also be added to the app and you will receive a discount on paid for hours when 6 weeks or more notice has been given. There is no discount offered on term time contracts.

 

Is Your Child Moving Rooms in September?

 

If your child is moving to an older room in September and you have a term time only booking with us, you can book a settling in session for them during the August holidays, free of charge. This can be arranged with the staff in your child’s room or via email/ FAMLY app.

National Grandparents Week

National Grandparents Day takes place on Sunday 4th October. To mark the occasion, we are inviting grandparents to take part in our stay and play week. This will be held from 28th September – 2nd October, both morning and afternoon. You can book a space from 14th September with the staff in your child’s room. The sessions time are – 9am – 10 am or 13.30 pm – 14.30 pm. You can book a space for a single or both grandparents. Due to the capacity of the nursery, grandparents can only attend on the same session as their child. Grandparents not living locally? Bring mum or dad instead.
