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.
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.
Topic of the Month
Space
We are so excited to teach the children all about space and using our imaginations. We will be doing lots of building, dressing up and exploring with different messy activities. We will also be supporting the wellbeing of the children, as new children are starting their nursery journey. All the team look forward to working closely with all our families in the coming year. We would also like to take this opportunity to say a very Happy New year.

Parents involvement
We have sent out consent forms to support oral health in the nursery and with the children. If you have not received one of these please do let us know.
If you would like to come in to the nursery to read a story, please speak to one of the staff.
Please ensure you have returned your parents evening evaluation form, as this helps us to always improve and reflect on our practice, feedback is always welcome as well as parent’s ideas and suggestions. There is a suggestion box outside for contributions.
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
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.
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.
