Door security
Please can we remind everyone, that it is of the most importance that the nursery doors are not held open for any other parents to be let into the nursery building.
If this does happen, please can we ask that you wait to be greeted into nursery by a Senior Member of the Wonderland Team and that the nursery door is closed. These individuals will be wearing blue t-shirts.
Parents and carers Identification Cards
Please can we ask all parents and other adults (Grandparents, Uncles, Aunties, friends etc.) to nursey they have their own Identification Cards with them when they are collecting or dropping off at Wonderland.
If you do not have an identification card, please let a member of the Management Team know.
