Letters for parents
Rosemary Lane Governors would like to say an enormous thank you to each and everyone of you for your ongoing patience and understanding during these challenging times. Mrs Jones and her team have worked hard and maintained keeping the nursery open for the children of key workers, which has been very successful. Mrs Jones and her team have our full support as they endeavour to follow government COVID-19 guidance and social distancing rules in planning to support children’s safe return to nursery.From the Governing Body of Rosemary Lane Nursery School
