We Are Open

Giggles Day Nursery will continue to remain open as long as staffing allows.

Due to the new restrictions we intend to use limited emergency staff cover (agency workers) where possible 

Topic of the Month - We Are Amazing

Is your child registered with a Dentist?

It is really important that you register your child with a dentist from as early as possible. During these present times, dentists are offering limited appointments.

However, you can support your child by encouraging and supporting them to clean their teeth properly. Also consider how much sugar is in the foods and drinks that you are feeding your child. 

If you need any help or support, please talk to one of our team.

Photo of parent / family

Please can you provide a few photos of you and your immediate family. We are in the process of enhancing our family board and would like every child to have a family photo. It can be distressing to the children if they do not have one. You can email the photo if unable to print it yourself.

EEE (3&4-year funding) & 30hrs funding extra charge towards the costs of meals will start from October 2020. Please can I request that you complete the questionnaire and return it to the nursery as soon as possible. If you are not happy to contribute towards the cost of your child’s meals at the nursery, you will need to continue to provide a healthy packed lunch. This packed lunch will need to be a cold dinner and not anything that needs to be reheated please. 

Please contact your employer if you believe you are eligible for Tax free childcare 

Please can I request that all parents complete a temperature check permission form.

We will check the children’s temperatures before they enter the nursery daily. If their temperature shows above 37.6, they will not be allowed into the setting. If a child becomes unwell during their session at nursery, we will follow our measures in line with Covid-19.

Giggles Day Nursery takes Covis-19 very seriously and are doing everything possible to ensure that we monitor the current situation and ensure that we are doing everything possible to keep us all safe.

DO NOT FORGET YOUR FLU JAB!

Information sharing with parents 

If your child develops a temperature of 37.6 or above, you need to keep your child at home and the governments advice is to book a Covid-19 test.

You will be required to stay at home until you either you receive a negative Covid-19 result which you will be required for evidence or you will need to stay at home for 10 days and be cleared of any symptoms before returning to nursery.

Thank you for all your continued support in this matter

Please find Giggles Day Nursery QR code at the nurseries main door. If you have downloaded the government track and trace app you can scan the code to support track and trace.

Buggies and scooters 

Please can you take home all buggies, bikes or scooters or they can be left outside the building, but this would be at your own risk. 

• Please inform the nursery of any change of address, telephone number, email address, so we can update these details in your child’s personal profile.
• Please inform the nursery by telephone if your child is absent on the day​. 
• Can I ask that you hold your child’s hand when leaving the nursery as the carpark is a risk to the children. 
• Can you provide your child with a pair of slippers/ soft shoes and wellington boots please. 
• Lastly can I remind all parents with children in nappies could you provide wet wipes and cream as well as nappies please  
• Can I ask all parents to follow all up to date nursery guidelines to support the government documents to support covid-19
• Share any concerns, ideas or suggestions to the nursery staff or email the setting as soon as possible
