From the beginning of June the government has asked nurseries to begin to plan to open for more children. They have issued guidelines for us as to how this can be done as safely as possible for staff and children, and to help to reduce the spread of Coronavirus within the community. In accordance with the guidance, we have had to make adaptations to both the environment and the number of children able to attend. In response to this, we are currently only able to offer places to the children of  Key Workers and groups of vulnerable children and as of 15.06.20 we have reached our capacity. We hope to welcome more children back as soon as it is safe to do so and we are looking at ways to support families with this.
