Following yesterday's announcement from Boris I can confirm that I will be open as normal including school runs

Your child won’t be sat on desks 2 metres apart
Asked to play in a circle chalked upon the floor
They won’t have toys removed, walls stripped bare and comforters left at home,
They won’t be told to wipe grazed knees, to stay apart and only give themselves a cuddle
They won’t have allocated toilet times or restricted times outside
They won’t be told to stay away from friends, stop sharing, don’t come close
They won’t be turned away from a hug, a story on a knee, or a hand to help their way
But I will do my very best to keep them safe each day
They will wash their hands on arrival and frequently through the day
I will wash their toys and spray surfaces, wipe and clean away
They will play outside freely with soapy water close at hand
They will be protected as is possible inside a safe, clean home
They will be hugged and helped, their hands held and rocked softly to sleep
They will play with friends and run around, build, make, sing, read, draw, and pretend
I will listen to their singing, kneel close to hear their words, hold them when they are sad or tired, play games and dance together
I will talk them though their fears and wipe away their tears
I will keep them safe as best I can with love, and care and play

With the announcement that schools and nurseries are being closed as of Friday afternoon, I wanted to make sure I keep all parents in the loop with regards to what is happening with my setting. At this time, we have not been made aware that we have to close so I am currently remaining open until told otherwise. Clarification is being sought about whether or not the nursery closure is extended to childminders so as soon as I have any more information with regards to this, please be assured that I will let you all know immediately.

With some of the schools announcing part closures I'm able to offer a limited number of temporary childcare spaces within my ratios, please feel free to pass this info on to friends if they need help

Just to let my minded families, I will be staying open unless the local authority tells me that i must close or if myself or any member of my family have symptoms and have to self isolate
