A member of the bubble team will ‘man’ the doors at key times during the day (8-9am, 1-1.30pm & 5-6pm).
The entrances will all be marked with social distance markings. This will ensure that the families stand 2 metres back from the door. However, the staff member will have available to them a face covering in case the child is hesitant to leave their parent. Staff must also ask parents to confirm verbally on arrival that “the child and family have been symptom free, especially a temperature”.
Parents will be advised that they MUST NOT bring their child to nursery if they have had a temperature. We will emphasise to them the anxiety that it will cause a setting to have to deal with a temperature on site. We will record this with the use of a Parents daily declaration sheet, which will be the child register sheet. The staff member admitting the child, will need to sign that they have asked the question.
A single parent will be allowed entrance to the nursery on the first settling in session for a child starting at nursery. They will be asked to not touch any items in the setting and to put on a face mask temporarily. .
Show-arounds will be conducted ‘out of hours’ and visitors will be asked not to touch any items in the setting.
