Attendance On Time Every Day
One of the best things you can do for your child is to make sure they come to nursery on time every day!
Why Attendance Matters
Regular attendance makes a real difference to your child because:
They will learn more and do better throughout their education
They will feel happier and more settled coming to nursery each day
They will build great habits around attendance that will stay with them when they start school
If Your Child Is Unwell
Please keep your child at home if they are unwell. If they are absent, let us know by calling 01274 543282 before:
9:00am for morning children
1:00pm for afternoon children
If your child has sickness or diarrhoea, they must stay at home until 48 hours after the symptoms have cleared.
Holidays
Wherever possible, please try to book holidays during school holidays. If you need to take time off during term time, please fill in an Application for Absence form, which will be signed by the Headteacher.
Up to two weeks of family holiday is usually authorised. In exceptional circumstances, such as an extended visit abroad, up to four weeks may be authorised. Please note that if your child does not return after four weeks, their place may be given to another child on our waiting list.
Monitoring Attendance
We keep a close eye on attendance and will always get in touch if your child is absent. Attendance is also discussed at your child's Better Together meetings.
Bad Weather
We very rarely close due to bad weather and always do our best to stay open. If we do need to close due to snow or ice, we will list the closure on Bradford Schools Online. If we need to close early, we will contact all parents by phone or text to make sure every child is collected safely.
Bringing and Collecting Your Child
Please stick to the agreed drop-off and pick-up times these routines help keep children safe and settled. Anyone bringing or collecting a child must be 16 years of age or over. Please let a member of staff know in advance if someone different will be collecting your child.
Remember regular attendance at nursery is just as important as attendance at school. Thank you for your support!
