Today marks the end of another school year, i cant quite believe how strange this year has been and im sure it is one that we will never see repeated again. 

We started the school year in September 2019, flowed lovely through to christmas returning in January 2020 with our Ofsted inspection where we gained our 4th OUTSTANDING!!!! Then from April - June the setting had to close due to the COVID 19 situation. We then managed to re open in June for our riser children only. 

Seven weeks on and our riser children are now due to leave us to attend Primary school, there is lots we havent been able to do for example our graduation, our snow white performace and of course our teddies bear picnic. As well as having the fun last few weeks of term where we stop observations and just spend our time making the last memories for the riser children. 

We would like to take this opportunity to wish all our families leaving us a safe, happy and fun summer holiday ready to start Primary in September. Your support, kind words and gestures really do go a long way and they mean so much to us. We mean it when we say we feel cheated this year that we didnt get to do all that we wanted with the children and get to say a proper goodbye not only to the children but to you as parents. 

Im sure you can all look back on the day your child first started with us, probably with mixed emotions and a little worried about how things would go, but look at them now a year on (two for some) and i can proudly say that your children are ready for their next chapter. 

Remember us, we will certainly remember you !!! 

To all our children returning to us in September and our new children who are waiting to start we wish you all an amazing summer and we cant wait to hear all about it when we see you next. Lets keep our fingers crossed that next year will be smoother and we can achieve all that we want to. 

I will be writing to you all over the summer break just to clarify a few changes that we will have to put in place to keep us all safe while the COVID situation is on going. 

With much love and best wishes from the Pre -School Ladies

I have updated the coronavirus tab on the website it is the lask link. Can i please ask parents to be vigiliant and any temperatures or coughing to keep children home, like wise if someone else in your family is showing these signs then the whole family needs to isolate for 14 days. 

We will be sending any children home that show these signs and they will not be permitted back for 14 days. 

We will remain open as long as we can provide hand washing facilities to the children, staff and parents, along with being able to source food for snacks. 

If the school closes then we will also close as we are on the school site. 

We are still staffed enough to be able to run to ratio however if staff have to start self isolating we will monitor the ratios and keep parents informed. 

Regards

The Pre -School team 

Dear parents please see the last tab for all the information regarding what we are doing with regards to the coronavirus. 

It may seem inconvient asking you to keep your children away if they have a cough or temperature but we are just following the guidlines set by the government. Even if your child just has a temperature/cough for one day they need to stay away from the setting for the next 7 days. 

We will be having a 0 tolerance policy on this even if you think it might just be a common cold we will be asking them to stay away if they have a cough or temperature. Likewise if children present with these sympotoms while at Pre -School you will be asked to collect them immediatly and keep them home for the remaining 7 days. 

We will of course keep you fully updated with any changes or developments on this. 

Can we also remind parents that we will be asking you to wash your hands on the way into the setting, this includes all children and parents/ visitors. 

Thank you for your understanding and co operation in this matter of keeping us all healthy and safe. 

Regards

The Pre -School ladies
