Clothing:
All uniforms, underwear, socks and shoes must be clearly marked with a permanent marker.  We will not be responsible for any lost,  torn or soiled items. We also will not take any responsibility should your child bring any valuables to school and it should get lost. You can check at reception if you have any lost items. Every child must have a change of clothing in their bags.  If you wish your child can bring his/her own blanket  and small pillow (optional), we do provide a thin mattress.

Sickness:
Clifton Hill Nursery School reserves the right to decide whether your child may or may not attend for health reasons.  A sick child  cannot remain at school according to City Health regulations.  Please do not send your child to school if he/she has a temperature,  is vomiting, has diarrhea, has head lice, has a bad cough.  It is unfair to the other children.  Please notify the school as early as  possible should your child not be attending school.

Medicine:
We request all parents to hand in any medicine and medical instruction at reception.  Please make sure that clear instructions are given in the homework book and is signed by the parent.  Note that no medicine will be administered unless it is written up in this book.  Clearly mark all medicine and make sure that no medicine is left in your child school bag.  It is the parent/guardian’s responsibility to collect the medicine at the end of each day.

If your child had contracted any contagious illness and was kept at home, you have to provide the school with a medical certificate when your child returns to school.

In the event of an emergency, Clifton Hill Nursery School reserves the right to obtain medical assistance from any doctor available, and the cost involved will be the responsibility of the parent/legal guardian.  In any case of emergency we will first attempt to contact  both parents/legal guardian and the nominated family doctor before we proceed with any of these steps mentioned above.

Security:
It will be the parents’/legal guardian’s responsibility to obtain a disc to be granted excess to the estate to drop-off or pick up your child,  should you not live on the estate.  This is an estate rule.   For more information please contact the office.

Lifts:
If the parent/legal guardian is not fetching the child, they should advise the school so that arrangements can be made at the gate for  easy excess and security reasons.  Once the child is fetched please make sure that your sign-in slip is stamped before leaving the school. Should you wish to apply for an extra disc, it will be at own cost.

Overtime:
Our school hours are strictly from 07H00 to 17H00 and 07H00 to 12H30.  If the parent is going to be late, please phone the office.  NOTE: Staff have to be paid overtime if working later than 17H00 which means that an overtime fee will be charged when children are being picked up after 17H10 even though the parent has informed the school.

Personal Details:
It is the responsibility of the parent/legal guardian to advise the school should there be any change to  their address, contact details or email address.  This is especially important in the case of any emergency.
