New opening times...

14^th August 2020

Dear Parents/Carers

Here at Bentley Child Care we value our service user’s feedback and work needs. We listen to

what our parents want and evaluate how we can best meet those needs.

We are aware that a lot of parents have to do a really quick drop off at 8am to enable them to get to work on time, with that in mind we have decided to change our opening time to 7.45am from Monday 7^th September in line with the children returning to school. We are hoping this will help to stagger in the children, providing a safer environment for both children and parents when they arrive whilst helping to maintain social distancing in and around both Reception Areas.

We would like to thank you all for your continued support through these unprecedented times.

Regards

Andria Holmes

Nursery Manager
