Changes to Government Funding

As we have notified you already, there are significant changes happening with government funding for childcare across the country. You can download the parent agreement form guidance here which should be read before filling in the parent agreement form. Also if you need to use the stretched funding calculator, you can access it here. Please speak to us if you need any clarification with this.

Please return your completed PAF (Parent/carer agreement form) as soon as possible as this is a requirement from Essex for your funding.

Nursery Phone

Our new Duckling phone number 07359754682 is now in use.This will be manned for calls and texts in the nursery hours only, any other enquiries outside of these times can be sent by email to enquiries@ducklingnursery.co.uk.

Drop offs and collection

Please be on time when dropping the children to nursery and when collecting them at the end of their day unless you have spoken to me about other arrangements. Also, if children are bringing toys with them can you ensure these are popped in their bags before coming into nursery.

Reminders

  • All clothing should be named including shoes wellies and slippers.
  • All lunch boxes/bags and water bottles should be named.
  • Children should only have water in their bottles rather than juice.
  • The nursery is a nut and egg free zone due to children’s allergies.
