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.
Building works have finally finished
We are pleased to confirm that we re now returning to cooked meals if requested. These meals are chargeable unless your child claims 2-year funding. Please discuss this matter with Tanya or Shabana. 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.
Starting School?
Your child can stay at the nursery right up until their first day at school. Please can I ask all parents to notify the nursery of your child’s last day.
New starters:
We would like to welcome all the new children who will be starting the nursery this September. All the other children and staff will make you feel welcome and supported.
