COVID 19 UPDATES

27.05.2020

Everyone should have now been contacted to let you know the arrangements for re-opening nursery for working parents and parents of key workers. If you are returning to nursery we look forward to seeing you back at our magical little nursery on the 1st.

As always we will continue to keep you updated with our next steps, our risk assessments are under constant review and we will contact everyone further when we open up to more children.

The health and safety of staff, children and families is always our top priority.

23.03.2020

Nursery is now CLOSED following guidance from the government….we can still be contacted via Facebook and email – Dawn will get back to any queries as soon as she can.

Please rest assured that as soon as we are able to re open we will be, with open arms ready to welcome and settle the children. It is a very strange time for everyone.

For latest government advice please follow the link below, which is updated regularly.

Stay safe everyone

We are continuing to follow government advice regarding the Coronavirus so we wanted to provide you with some updates on how these measures could affect you.
The Coronavirus is changing almost hourly and we will do our best to keep you fully updated as and when information arrives. We are doing our very best to provide continuity for all of our families
As a parent/carer, you’ll need to take the following decisions:
~ if you believe your child to be at heightened risk of exposure, please act accordingly and self-isolate them.
~ if your child exhibits a cough or high temperature, DO NOT SEND THEM TO NURSERY. The child and the rest of the family who reside at home are to self-isolate for a period of 14 days (adults and children) as per new government advice.
THIS MEANS THAT IF YOU FEEL THE NEED TO SELF ISOLATE ONE CHILD, THE SAME APPLIES TO EVERYONE IN THE HOUSEHOLD.
~ As an educational setting that is open, we would expect only those children who are at heightened risk (underlying health issues) or those with identified symptoms not to be at nursery.
– however we fully understand parents concerns and choice with regards to keeping children off – we would just ask that you keep us informed and updated if you choose to self isolate for your own reasons.
NURSERY IS OPEN
While the Prime Minister has stated that public gatherings, restaurants, pubs etc are to be avoided, he has clearly stated that educational settings will remain open…. we will follow this guidance until:
~ The government advise us to close
~ There aren’t enough staff to operate safely
We receive emails everyday regarding COVID-19 from the government and will update as information changes.
We have children who are absent due to colds, sore-throats, coughs etc…..its that time of year and these families have self isolated as per government guidelines.
While the next few weeks and months are going to be challenging for us all, it is important that we support each other and follow guidelines provided by professionals.
If any of our families need any support please don’t hesitate to contact us.
