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 share we are going to be trying out some new foods for our menus over the next few weeks, these will include foods such as vegetarian sausage with mash potato, peas and gravy, vegetable fingers with homemade sweet potato wedges and broccoli. These meals are 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.
