Upon the parents induction, you will be given a copy of the ParentsHandbook by email. This handbook aims to tell you the information that you may need whilst your child is in our care. This handbook is designed to give information to parents of children attending Mini Scholars Nursery regarding their day-to-day dealings with the Nursery and outline the responsibilities of both the Nursery and Parents.
