Starting Nursery
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 pleased to confirm that we have now returned to cooked meals if requested. 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.
Welcome to our new families.
We would like to welcome all our new families who have started with us recently. We are looking forward to working with you closely during your children’s nursery journey.

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. Thank you

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.
