The safety of your children is paramount to us and we have increased our cleaning schedule with toys and resources being sanitised regularly.
• When staff arrive at the setting all door handles, taps, sinks, toilets, and tables are cleaned with antibacterial spray/wipes.
• Staff and children will have their temperature taken when arriving at the preschool and at lunchtime.
• Staff and children wash their hands when arriving at the preschool, after going to the toilet, blowing their noses and before eating.
• We also have a sniffle station where the children will learn to take a tissue, blow their nose, dispose of the tissue and then wash their hands.
Photos of this and other activities we have been doing to keep healthy are on our website.
• We will not be staggering start times at the moment, but this will be under review.
