We are Covid Secure....

As an early years provider we ensure to offer a continuum of very high standards of practice of childcare and education. The fundamental principles to be outlined in our practice are set out to ensure physical distancing where possible, as well as the implementation of good hygiene practices to avoid coming into contact with infected children and adults or anyone displaying symptoms. We have protective measures in place for children, parents and staff to ensure the risk of transmission is reduced to the best of our ability.  We will continue to follow and adhere to our policies and procedures as long as they do not conflict with our Coronavirus Policy and will be guided by the EYFS as best as we can. The main areas we will be considering are:


• Minimising contact with individuals who are unwell

• Maintaining personal and respiratory hygiene (handwashing, ‘catch it, kill it, bin it’)

• Ensuring cleanliness of the environment (especially frequently touched surfaces)

• Minimising general contact and mixing (creating ‘bubbles’ and limiting numbers)

• The use of Protective and Personal Equipment (PPE)

• Testing
