All children attending morning session should be collected by 11.57am. Afternoon sessions Monday to Friday 11.57am – 3.09pm All children should arrive for nursery between 11.57am and 12.15pm. All children attending full day and afternoon sessions must be collected by 3.09pm. Doors open for collection from 3pm. Access to Nursery There is a dedicated entrance for nursery pupils, parents and carers between the primary. Parents are required to press the buzzer on the secure door entry system or doorbell to alert staff and gain access to the nursery if the door is not currently held open by staff. The nursery has a designated route for collection of children at the end of the morning session to minimize the disturbance to school classes through the nursery playground. A member of staff will open this when it is time to dismiss children. The afternoon session on arrival enters the nursery via the main entrance and collects via the same entrance. Please do not attempt to gain access via the playground when morning children are dismissing. We need to know your child has made it safely to nursery and is registered in the building. 6
