Dear Parent/carers,
Following last night's government announcement, the advice has now changed. If anyone in your household has a persistent cough and/or a temperature, then the whole household need to self-isolate for 14 days. Further clarification of this is expected today. There is also additional advice for those in vulnerable groups (including those who have weakened or compromised immune systems, underlying chronic conditions including asthma, respiratory conditions, diabetes or heart conditions such as high blood pressure).
As such, please keep your child/ children at home if these measures apply to you.
As a result of the announcement, we have needed to survey our staff as these new measures affect their ability to be in preschool. Safety is of paramount importance and we need to have sufficient staff to operate safely.
Consequently, we have made the decision to remain open today, however we are running at lower staffing levels. If there are any changes today we may need to review this, so please check our website for more details. If there is no further update then we will be open tomorrow.
We are very sorry that this is a last minute update, however, I hope you can appreciate that we have needed to respond to the government’s announcement at very short notice ourselves. These measures are being put in place for everyone’s benefit and we are living in unprecedented circumstances.
We are expecting further information today and we will keep you updated.
Thank-you for your ongoing support and cooperation.
Yours sincerely,
Emma

Manager of Binfield Preschool
