Covid-19 protective measures still in place:
Now restrictions are over, and life is starting to return to normal we have adjusted our protective measures. However, we still believe that some measures are still advisable so we can continue to protect the children and staff at Giggles. Measure in place
- Children not to be brought into nursery if unwell
- If your child develops covid-19 we request that you keep your child at home for 5 days and whilst they have a temperature. This will help protect other children and their families, as well as our nursery workforce, which will help to keep the nursery open so we can deliver the education to all children.
- Children’s temperatures will continue to be checked on arrival
- The nursery will continue to carry out deep cleans of the building and equipment.
- We request that parents wear a face mask unless they have a medical condition or are pregnant.
We are really excited to announce we will be having a Christmas dinner on 14th December for the children. If you would like your child to have a hot meal at nursery this will be chargeable unless your child claims 2-year funding. Please discuss this matter with Tanya. All our meals are nutritious and healthy. Nikki takes great pride in providing hot delicious meals daily with fresh ingredients.
Please ensure you have informed the nursery if your child has any existing or new food allergies.
Important Notice
The nursery will close on 23rd December 2022 for Christmas and re open on 3rd January 2023.

We have a parents evening coming up, starting from 5th December. These will be face to face or via telephone. If you haven’t booked, please speak to a member of staff.
We have arranged a Christmas party for 16th December at 3pm. We kindly ask if your child does not attend on this day and you would like to attend then parents must stay with their children for the duration of the party. We will be playing some party games, having food which parents can contribute to. If you would like to contribute, please speak to a member of staff for the list. There may also be a little surprise visit.
Staff changes
We would like to welcome Shabana who has recently joined our team. Shabana is looking forward to working alongside you as parents and your children.
1 piece of fresh fruit per day
Please ensure your child brings 1 piece of fresh fruit to the nursery per day. This promotes healthy eating, oral health and sharing with their friends. There will
be a bowl outside for you to put your daily piece of fruit in to.
30hrs funding for 3 years old
If you are claiming 15hrs funding and working, you may be entitled to 30hrs free funding. Please ask Tanya for further details
Sickness/Absence’s
We would like to remind all parents that if your child requires Calpol (Paracetamol) for any reason, they will be unable to attend nursery for 48hours. Children must be clear from medications containing paracetamol for 48hrs before returning.
We also ask parents to inform us if their child will not be attending via telephone or email.
