Guide for using parent spaces
Child supervision
Please make sure your children are constantly supervised when using these spaces.
Use of the fridge
Breast milk and/or a child’s lunch may be stored in the refrigerator during the day, but please ensure it is in a clearly marked, dated container and removed at the end of the day (there are pens and sticker labels in the room).
Care of parent spaces
If the room doesn't have a nappy disposal, please be considerate of the space's other users and do not leave your rubbish behind.
