COVID SAFE PLAN
In these trying times and learning to live with COVID we as a centre are doing everything possible to minimize the risk of infection and to ensure everyone is safe in the centre.
We wash all the toys each day, get professional cleaners in at the end of each day, wear masks at all times and all of our educators and anyone entering the centre is to be vaccinated.
The centre has also purchased rapid tests and if a staff member was to be a close contact or feel unwell we can test them immediately.
We ask that if you or your child are unwell that you please do not enter the centre. If a child becomes sick as the centre they will be isolated until you come and pick them up. Please ensure that you have given us the correct numbers so as we are able to reach you.
If you have any concerns over this please feel free to come and see me.
Until next month
Tanya
