Going to work for a meeting today to discuss how we'll be implementing safety measures next week when the nursery re-opens. Haven't left the house by myself in over 2months feels weird.
Although I am glad to be getting back to some kind of normal. It still feels a little unfair having to go back & send my kids to school but we still can't see family. Think there's going to be mass hugs & lots of tears when we do get to see everyone 😭

We had our meeting at our nursery today too.
How did yours go? You feeling ready?

I'm ready to go back definately. What we're going back to is going to be interesting. We're still not sure on exact numbers as not all parents have gotten back to us as to whether their coming back from next week.
We're attempting this whole bubble concept. It's going to be hard. Saying to the children you can't go over that side, this is our side etc. As we don't have enough rooms to split our pre-school group. And they stay with their bubble group all week. What did yours say?

We are the same. Not sure how many are coming back. We’re a small nursery but it’s looking like only 10 children each day with 3 staff. The children are all going to be so unsettled.

Oh wow. We're quite big. I have 56 on our pre-school registera alone. Only 3 have given notice & won't be back at all. I reckon a lot will be in. We have mostly working parents but guess we'll see.
We'll be doing bubbles of 8-10 probably with 2 staff in each bubble. One of these bubbles is the garden so a group will be outside all day (hopefully doesnt rain during the next couple of months!) & we'll rotate the areas each day. Going to be interesting. We have a couple children on a senco plan who I think won't stick to these 'bubble' areas all day. The rest will find it hard I think. If they wanna go over the other side to play with another friend but we're saying no...
They did say it'll all be trial & error it might not work but we cam only try. I imagine some children might be reluctant to leave parents at first but a bunch might be excited to see us & their friends after so long!

We can take 36 at any time as a nursery. We have around 60 children on the books but only 16 are coming back 1st June. I imaging come July we will be busier. I hope so anyway for the sake of peoples jobs. Then it will be the 6 weeks holidays and they’re quiet anyway.
Looking forward to Sept when hopefully things will be at some kind of normal. We’re loosing 16 to school this time
