Important information for parents 

If your child is returning to Nursery on the 1st of June we have put the following procedures in place to ensure social distancing:

• We ask that only one parent drops off and collects children
• Parents to remain in their cars until the Nursery is open at 8am and then use the 2m indicators to keep a safe distance
• Both entrances will be open- Extended Services and Tweenies please use the 1st Reception and Rainbows and Explorers please use the 2nd entrance
• Children will be collected and brought to Reception by a member of staff to reduce the amount of people in the Nursery, except for Babies 
• Please send your child in with a clearly named juice bottle and lunch box
• Children will have their own educational resource pack and will be taught in very small groups of no more than 8 children
• The centre has detailed risk assessments that covers every aspect of your child's care and education

If you wish to discuss anything please do not hesitate to call the centre and speak to a manager. 

Everyone at Bentley Child Care is getting ready to welcome the children back. The rooms are inviting and provide a safe environment for your children. The staff have been very busy painting and even doing some woodwork...

IMPORTANT INFORMATION!

Following the announcement by Boris Johnson on Sunday we are preparing to accept children from the 1st of June. We have attached guidance for parents. It would be really useful if parents could contact the Nursery to confirm their child care requirements to assist us with forward planning.
