Parents as Partners
We at ASN recognize the important role that parents play in their children’s development and progress. All parents are encouraged to be involved in their child’s learning and take an active role both at home and at the nursery. We encourage all parents to become familiar with the routine to ensure that there is consistency between their home life and pre-school.
Parent’s afternoons are scheduled every term to discuss their child’s development. We are committed to providing a happy, safe and secure environment in which each child can develop at their own pace. Parents are expected to give their support and encouragement.
Once a place has been offered you are required to give four (4) weeks’ notice or you will be charged for your place for that month.
Parents must inform the Nursery if the child has a known medical condition or health problem or has been in contact with infectious diseases. The child must not be brought to the School if he is unwell. Nappies, wipes and nappy creams are to be provided by the parent. Fees will not be refunded or waived for absence through sickness or holidays or for any other cause.
ASN is taking extra efforts to ensure that the child learns a new skill. Extra-curricular activities are offered as a part of the afternoon club for no additional charge to parents.
Once we have received your registration form, we will contact you to arrange settling in sessions for your child. If you wish to discontinue or reduce your attendance, we would require four weeks of notice in writing. Failure to do this will result in four weeks’ worth fees being charged.
In the event of a Parent/Guardian withdrawing a child immediately the Parent/Guardian shall still be due to pay the four weeks’ fee’s in lieu of notice.
Persons acting in a suspicious manner, under the influence of drugs or alcohol, or displaying offending or aggressive behaviour will be removed from the pre-school property and dealt with accordingly. Any parent, who displays any of the characteristics detailed above, may result in their child’s place at Alphabet Street Nursery being terminated, with immediate effect.

No responsibility will be accepted for the loss or damage of items.
