Author: Well what a totally strange year 2020 is turning out to be.
We have finally managed to get our entire September School intake attending school. The School starts dates were carefully spread over September and into October to help with minimising the spread of the Covid Pandemic.
We have introduced some safeguarding measures in place here to help minimise the risk of infection of Covid and other infectious diseases.
2020 has been an ever changing world and we have what seems like new legislations to follow week in week out as the world develops trying to control the spread.
At the forefront of our care is all our children’s health, as the county restrictions are getting tighter, childcare settings with schools at this moment in time are able to remain open as usual. We have lots of communication methods and strategies in place for regular health updates for everyone that attends.
As we approach Winter we all have to remain focused on the end goal and hopefully over the next few months we are able to have some control over the pandemic and start to get back to some normality, whatever the new normality actually means will be the results of all our actions now and in the next few months.
Our regular seasonal activities have not really been affected and we are trying our hardest to maintain normality on our educational and physical activities, however our playgroup sessions remain off limits at present time although we fulfil the outcomes of the playgroups sessions in our setting and other outdoors areas.

Our 11 year daughter Kaia has become a Beat Bullying Jubilee Mentor.
Kaia took two days out of the normal school to study for this accreditation.
BeatBullying is all about young people helping and supporting each other online.
If you’re being bullied, or are feeling a bit low, or are maybe troubled by something and you’re not sure what to do or who to talk to, then BeatBullying is where you can go for help. It doesn’t matter how big or small you think the problem is, or whether you’re being targeted online or offline, our mentors are here to listen and support you.
The best thing about it is that mentors are young people too. Many young people have told us that they would prefer to speak to another young person about bullying. That’s why mentors are young people like you. They have been trained and are volunteering their time online to help you.
It’s still important to talk to your parents or teachers about bullying. If you don’t feel ready to do this, a mentor can help.
