Attendance and punctuality at Nursery

Good attendance is everyone’s responsibility. Let’s work together to establish good habits from the start. Bring your child to nursery on time every day. Regular attendance helps children settle more quickly into simple routines & helps children’s development.

Children with high attendance in nursery start primary school with better learning outcomes and higher levels of school readiness. To protect group time learning, morning children should be collected from 11:20-11:30. Our attendance values are belonging, connectedness and curiosity. If your child does has not attended nursery, we will call you to find out why. We have a duty to ensure children are safe and well. You can help us by calling us on the first day of your child’s absence on 0121 675 4617. It can be tricky deciding whether or not to keep your child off nursery when they're unwell. There are government guidelines for schools and nurseries about health protection and managing specific infectious diseases. These say when children should be kept off school and when they shouldn't. Nursery uses this guidance found at Is my child too ill for school? - NHS
