About Whitchurch Pre-School Nursery (Shropshire) Ltd.
Whitchurch Pre-school nursery is divided into different age ranges, to accommodate the diverse stages of development and we provide a variety of activities and equipment to meet those needs.
We also have a spacious outdoor play area because we feel that outdoor play and learning is essential to early year's development.
We are registered with Ofsted and our unique reference number is EY416501. In March 2011 we received an impressive grading in our Ofsted Inspection, a copy of the report can be viewed by visiting www.ofsted.gov.uk

The nursery is open from 8.00am until 6.00pm, Monday - Friday.
We are now offering 7.30am starts for an additional fee, subject to availability.
We provide full and half day sessions but we request that children are picked up and dropped off on time; this is so members of staff can spend time to prepare for the following session/day.

Any queries or concerns do not hesitateto discuss them with Julie or our nursery manager, Jo.
Absence
We would appreciate it if you could phone the nursery before 10.00am if your child is to be absent. Please abide by our sick child policy to reduce risk of infection throughout the nursery, and if your child is taken ill during the day you will be contacted.
If there is an emergency, the Nursery Manager or Deputy reserves the right to seek medical treatment.
Unfortunately there is no reduction of fees if your child is absent, you will still be charged full price.
Personal Belongings
We recommend that you send your child in 'comfortable' clothes, we offer messy play & creative activities so please avoid 'best' clothes.
What do the parents/carers provide?
- We ask parents to provide at least one spare set of clothes, in case of unfortunate messy incidents due to water play/soiled clothing, etc.
- Label all belongings to avoid confusion or loss.
- Provide a sun hat & sun cream for those lovely hot summers we have.
- Wellington boots so we can make the most of outdoors in the winter.
- Ready bottled formula milk for babies. * You can provide your own baby food if preferred but we do puree our cooked meals.
- Barrier cream for sore bottoms.
- Please provide your own nappies.
We ask children not to bring toys/snacks/sweets from home as this causes conflict and toys may get lost or broken.
