We have started welcoming existing children back into the Centre from the 1^st June, in line with the guidance from the Government and Local Authorities.  I am extremely proud of how everyone involved has dealt with this and would like to extend a big thank you to all staff, parents and carers, children and Governors for all their hard work, courage, resilience and ‘can do’ attitude that has allowed us to adapt and start to work towards the new, albeit hopefully temporary, normal.

In the menu on the left, the 'Covid-19' tab contains information on well-being and useful Contact numbers and all letters we have sent out to Parents and Carers.  We appreciate that not all children will be returning to nursery at this time and so we will continue to update the Home Learning tabs with all the Home Learning information and videos created by our staff.  Please note the Home Learning ideas are just suggestions and you should not feel pressured to complete them all - hopefully your children will enjoy seeing the familiar faces of their teachers. These Home Learning items can also be found on our Facebook page, which you can access below.

We appreciate that these are still very uncertain and troubling times and that with new changes to the restrictions there will be new anxieties and other issues that arise.  Physical, emotional and financial concerns won’t have disappeared.  Whether we are welcoming your child back to the Centre or speaking to you at home we are still here for you and if you would like a listening ear, need any support or need signposting to any services then please do call us on the Meadowside office number 01189 37557 or on Waterside Day Care number 01189 375677.
