Well at least the Early Years Alliance are try to get us priority vaccinations.
-
Definitely!!!!!!! not if there is someone home. I thought I'd added that!!!!
-
I think ours will do it if it enables other childcare to remain open this time? If my deputy couldn't come in we would potentially need to close, I think the LA have got involved this time. Our part-time/ term-time hours are not going to be paying any mortgages if her husband had to stay at home.
-
Well I would say no in that case, unless your open for a fair few more and it make economic sense -that and sometime a few more children are easier than just 3 or 4. I know we're going to have an issue if we go down to keyword only. We have two...HOWEVER both of these parents use us as a 'top up' as the other full day will not honour the 30 hours!! -so they do a few with us. I'm going to tell them they will need to use their first choice for universal funding and ww will transfer the 30 hour funding that we get for them!

ehm...arhh...arhh emm...emmm argh.... don't go out, unless you have to go out, hmm ahh ehmmm.....open, unless you have to close.... hmm...

I think it's one of those grey areas. During first lockdown it was both in our area. I think it's more flexible now though. I know few setting are giving priority to both, then depending on availably opening it to just one key worker. I know my deputy has a space for her son and last time she wasn't eligible.

Thank you that zigzag - hopefully won't need it though!

What kind of things have you put on your do/dont's ? We've said about dressing appropriately as will have the doors/windows fully open throughout the session. We also have a cold hall, and we won't be putting th heating on with all the windows open! I like the idea of calling them if the child isn't dressed well. (ours mainly seem to come as Disney princesses) We have also pointed out the children will have free access to our 10ft square complete mud-pit of an outside area.... so please do not send them in in their new white trainers! We have dropped to morning only sessions- as our lunchtimes would be our flash points for infection transmission. We've also asked for parents to temporarily drop the amount of sessions they attend. It really is a difficult one about whether or not childcare should open or not. I feel if you are in a purpose built building you can usually have small bubbles of children etc, and can probably open reasonably safely. If you're in one rented hall big hall you're actually pretty stuffed really.

Well it's funny you should mention that. Just before Christmas we didn't have any hot water, it's going to be a shame if I go in next Tuesday and there's still no hot water. Obviously I could have checked it all and got it sorted by now.......... however I'm in T4 and have been asked by Boris to stay at home.....
-
I am more than envious !!!! I don't think I can take the backlash if I send out that kind of letter- I already having moaning parents
-
Happy New year everyone
-
It's the same as before - something like 'ideally children should only attend one if possible'
-
We might just be top in east of England but still ....
-
Well its official! Our LA topped the number one chart for Corona this Christmas!! sunnyday- I'd write to our MP but pointless as she does nothing at the best of times, and, as deputy speaker she's pretty limited to what she can do anyway 😤 I stand corrected - East of England number one, not sure about the the whole country- but I know we're pretty high.
-
Told to open as normal!
-
I'm actually beyond fuming now. We are in the 2/3rd highest LA area in the country and they still think it is safe for us to open. I think I'm going with only opening mornings for the first few weeks- as lunchtime is definitely our 'pinch point' of the day.
-
Actually my question has been answered by my LA (very quick of the mark I must say!). Our staff are critical workers so their children can attend school.
-
Same here 🤣 Well I lie- I do have one whippersnapper who has child in year 6 - but they have an older brother that will be off college... phew!
-
Just a thought- are settings going to be massively understaffed if the staff them selves have children in primary school? given that they shouldn't really be ask friends and family to look after them.
-
Well, we open for children Wednesday, and I'm very much sad to say we will be offering a babysitting service rather than childcare and 'education' if you get what what I mean. Luckily we have a large hall- and I plan for children down one end....staff up the other!🤣 We haven't actually got a proper outside area 😬
-
I can pretty much guess what my lot are thinking - I fully expect 100% attendance !
-
Love it! I'm in the epicentre !!! (I think my LA is 2nd/3rd in England) All I want is to get the vaccine as a priority
-
Well it seem us in parts of Kent and Essex (plus a few others). Are to open form the 4th for all children - but primaries only to critical and vulnerable children!
-
sounds good to me....
