Insurance
Sometimes children like to bring something special or new to the nursery for their friends to see. However, parents should ensure that valuable items are not left at nursery, particularly as the authority has no insurance to cover the loss of such personal items. Claims submitted are likely to be met only where the authority can be shown to be negligent.

Excursions and Consent Forms
When outings or excursions for your child are planned, a member of staff will advise you in advance. You will be asked to complete a consent form, which gives your permission for your child’s participation.
Please note that children cannot take part in outings unless completed consent forms have been submitted by their parent/carers.

Emergency Contacts
Parents whose children are in the nursery must provide us with the names, addresses and telephone numbers of two emergency contact persons.
Please keep the nursery up-to-date about any changes to this information. Please update us with new mobile numbers for al contact information.

Information in Emergencies
 We make every effort to maintain a full educational service, but on some occasions, circumstances arise which lead to disruption.  The Nursery School may be affected by e.g. severe weather, power failures or difficulties with fuel supply.  In such cases we do all we can to let you know about the details of the closure and re-opening.  There are a variety of ways you may be informed including; letters, notices in the local community, Glasgow’s website, twitter, the press and through the local radio and news channels.  We also use text to your contact number – an important reason for keeping us up to date of any changes to information given.

No Smoking Policy
A “No Smoking” policy operates in the school and within the school grounds.

Fire Drills
Fire procedure notices are displayed throughout the nursery. Regular fire drills are carried out throughout the year and we ensure that children evacuate the building as quickly and calmly as possible. If you are in the building at the time of a drill or emergency please leave the building via your nearest exit.

Mobile Phones
Mobile phones should not be used in the nursery for child protection reasons. We would ask for your support in this matter and if a member of staff sees you using your phone they will ask you to refrain from doing so.
