It is natural to have some concerns regarding sending your child to nursery at the moment, however, we would like to reassure you that we are following all the government guidelines at Foxglove, including a strict 3 point plan:

1. Children not attending if they have any symptoms
2. Hourly cleaning procedures
3. Regular hand washing

As you can imagine, young children are not able to socially distance from each other or from the staff, and so there is an element of risk involved with attending nursery. We therefore politely request that you have a read through the information below:

If your child or any member of your family has symptoms of Coronavirus including:

• Cough
• Fever with a temperature over 37.8 degrees celcius
• Loss of sense of taste or smell

You should stay at home and self isolate in line with current guidance.  Please notify nursery at the start of your period of isolation.  If your child, or another member of your household has a positive test then please notify us immediately as everyone they have been in contact with will need to isolate for 14 days.  We will notify Public Health England and they will advise us on our next steps.

If your child has a negative test result they can return to nursery following our normal policies of staying off for 48 hours after the fever has gone.  We will need to see the negative test result please.

If you are contacted by the Test and Trace service please follow all guidelines and let us know if you are isolating.

We want to make sure that we keep our children and staff as safe as we can, while still offering a stimulating and thoroughly enjoyable nursery experience.

If you have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
