After careful consideration of official advice, consultation with parents, and extensive discussions amongst staff/trustees, we have re-opened our preschool nurseries on Monday 8 June 2020.
Re-opening of preschool nurseries from Monday 8 June 2020
In light of the government COVID-19 regulations announced on Wednesday 17 March 2020, we closed the nurseries at The Elizabeth Foundation from the end of Friday 20 March 2020. We continued to provide support, education and therapy for our children and families, keeping in regular contact with all parents of children attending our nurseries, providing learning activities for use at home and other support and advice.
After careful consideration of official advice, consultation with parents, and extensive discussions amongst staff/trustees, we have re-opened our preschool nurseries on Monday 8 June 2020 on a reduced capacity basis, with a wide range of measures in place to lessen risk for children, parents, staff and volunteers – as specified in our COVID-19 Policy (link to PDF). We will monitor and reassess this decision on a regular basis, taking into account factors including: the practicalities we encounter implementing this policy; our parents’ feedback; changes in official guidance; and any information we might receive about local rates of infection.
We remain absolutely committed to all our families and will continue to support them during these unprecedented times.
