COVID-19 Update
COVID-19 Update
Being a child care provider the health and safety of your child, your family and our employees is of utmost importance. As a result we are regularly reviewing our COVID-19 risk assessments and policies in accordance with any changes in restrictions, all of which we will forward via email upon a space being requested.
We request that if a child or family member develops any COVID-19 symptoms that they notify us immediately if they have been in care recently or plan to be in care within the following 2 weeks. We strongly recommend that upon noticing symptoms that the relevant member of the family goes for a test at one of the many testing centres and notifies us as soon as they receive the result.

All of our surfaces are wiped down before, during and after sessions to ensure that your child is spending their time in a clean and safe environment to give you that added peace of mind.
We ensure that the children wash their hands on a very regular basis but due to COVID-19 we have increased that even more regularly now to work in tandem with our increased cleaning protocols.

Healthy Food
Healthy Choices
We strongly believe in teaching children at that young ages the importance of healthy choices and how healthy food they see as “boring” can be made fun and tasty at the same time! This is how we intend to equip them for making healthy choices at high school and into later life as we know the multitude of unhealthy options made readily available for them.
Dietary Requirements
We understand that there are a wide variety of dietary requirements out there and in that we aim to accommodate this as best we can, providing fun and healthy snack options that are safe for your child! Please ensure to notify us in advance if your child has a specific dietary requirement!
Healthy Habits
As well as our Healthy Choices we like to promote Healthy Habits such as spending time outside as often as possible, going for regular walks and the benefit of sports in their lives. We recognise how easy it can be for them to slip into unhealthy habits at high school so by giving them a positive mindset when they are still in primary school we hope to equip them to make those choices themselves in later life!
