Today we wore GREEN for Mental Health Day 💚

Hi parents

I hope everyone is well.

I have been advised by Tracecovid19 to close the nursery from 06/08/2021 until the 16/08/2021, we will then resume business from 17/08/2021.
All children and staff that attended the setting during the dates of 4th, 5th, 6th August should isolate for 10 days from when last in the setting (if last in on the 4th isolate until 14th, If last in on the 5th, isolate until 15th) and then resume usual activities if well enough to do so.
If anyone develops symptoms they should test and isolate for 10 days from the point of a positive result.

Many thanks Jo
