Health Visitor’s are here to help!
Do you need any advice or support from the Health Visiting Team? Here are their details.
Nursery car parking spaces
Please can we remind all Parents and Carers that we do have a number of children, parents and carers who are registered disabled and in turn need the wider parking bays provided within the nursery carpark. We appreciate lots of cars are larger and are trickier to park within our nursery car parking spaces however if you are parked within the disabled parking bay and someone who has a disabled parking badge enters the nursery carpark, they are well within their rights to ask for use of this space and expect full cooperation.
If we know the arrival time of anyone who needs to use the disabled parking bay because they have an additional need, you may find a member of The Wonderland Team standing within the space to ensure it is free for those who need it.
