Nursery Coronavirus Risk Assessment.
28/05/2020
Our Coronavirus Risk Assessment is now available within our Parent Portal Area for all our parents and staff to read. It is planned this document will be amended in the light of experience and as Government Guidance changes.
We have remained open throughout the current crisis, albeit with reduced numbers of children, so that we could provide care for the children of NHS and other key workers. We have used this time to learn how be can best operate safely during during these times. We have therefore, through our operational experience, changed and enhanced many of our daily routines, pracrtices, procedures and policies, ready to start taking more children.
However, we do not consider it safe for any nursery to allow all children back within the first week of being allowed to do so. Therefore, we have planned, in consultation with individual parents, a four/five week phased return for our remaining children.
Government guidance states that all Nurseries have to make their Coronavirus Risk Assessments available to their parents and staff. We would really welcome parents comments, feed back and suggestions on ours.

The benefits of outdoor learning
We passionately believe that children experience a huge range of benefits when they are playing and learning outside in natural environments. The natural world provides an infinite amount more learning resources and opportunities that can ever be provided in a single room or playground. This why we have purchased a completely secure and private nine acre field in Denholme, which it is in the process of developing into our own forest school facility, where children can be taken to enjoy playing and learning all day in a totally natural environment. We are not alone in believing this as a large number of studies show that children benefit from learning outdoors in many ways.
