Coronavirus update - 5 January 2021
ALL CHANGE AGAIN 2021
Due to the Government announcement on the 4th January for a national lockdown we have had to adapt and change yet again.
This lockdown is a little different for us because we have to stay open for ALL children. This creates a few issues, firstly we are on a school site which is closed for most children, secondly we have staff who have children at home needing to be home schooled and thirdly some of my staff have health issues themselves.
All this said, we are here for you all and after contacting everyone we have about a third of families who want sessions for their children.
Therefore we will open every morning from WEDNESDAY 6TH JANUARY 9am-12.00
This will be reviewed every week, so if your situation changes please contact me.
PEASE REMEMBER TO SOCIAL DISTANCE WHEN YOU DROP OFF AND PICK UP.
PLEASE WEAR A MASK AT DROP OFF AND PICK UP.
PLEASE DO NOT BRING OLDER SIBLINGS TO DROP OFF OR PICK UP
PLEASE REMEMBER TO STAY SAFE.
We assume that we will operate like this until February half term, but nothing is certain.
I will be posting activities for you to do with your children on both Facebook and our website - please spend quality time with your children and enjoy their company.
Chewton Common Playgroup was registered in 2005. All children share access to a secure enclosed outdoor play area. There is provision for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities, and those who speak English as an additional language.
A maximum of 26 children aged from two to the end of the early years of age range may attend the playgroup at one time.
Eight staff work directly with the children.
