I asked Rachel for some notes, so I could provide you all with the inside track on what it’s been like this past week, but I think she’s sleeping this weekend!

Hahaha!

We opened up again for everyone on Monday.  There was lots of frantic activity during the week before, with Rachel, the staff, Trustees and Committee all pulling together to make sure we were ready.  Even I got in on the act by fully updating the website<\/a> to include the latest guidance for parents and staff.  Yes, we have been open all the way through the lockdown to ensure keyworkers’ children were cared for, but the measures we introduced to keep up to four of them safe at any one time (and us) needed upgrading to cater for the fourteen or so a day we were expecting.

Anyway, Monday arrived and the nervousness we were feeling, quickly melted away as parents started to bring children into Nursery.  Our new post-lockdown timetable<\/a> had been circulated to returning parents beforehand, so everyone knew what to do and they did it with great aplomb!

The first surprise for the children (if they didn’t notice that they were coming in ‘the wrong way’) was the garden.  Rachel, Laura, Lisa C and Lisa R (Cookie) had been very busy during lockdown, but found enough time (and some of their own time) to make some new things for the garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
