CORONAVIRUS NEWS (updated 06/03/2023)

​

These are some of the steps we’re taking in our setting to continue our focus on keeping everyone healthy.

Our number one priority is the safety of our children, adults and staff. At Hemblington Pre-School our staff and children always follow strict hygiene procedures. We have reinforced these in line with the latest Public Health England guidelines. These include:

​

  • At our hand-washing stations there is hand wash for the children to use. Children (and adults) wash their hands on entry to the hall.

  • Children are encouraged to use tissues and bin them after use. If no tissue available, then to cough/sneeze into the crook of their arm.

  • The hall is adequately ventilated to ensure a good flow of fresh air.  

​

The most common symptoms of Coronavirus (COVID-19) are recent onset of:

​​​

  • a high temperature – this means you feel hot to touch on your chest or back (you do not need to measure your temperature)

  • a new, continuous cough – this means coughing a lot for more than an hour, or 3 or more coughing episodes in 24 hours (if you usually have a cough, it may be worse than usual)

  • a loss or change to your sense of smell or taste – this means you've noticed you cannot smell or taste anything, or things smell or taste different to normal

  • If you have any of these symptoms, get a PCR test to check if you have coronavirus and stay at home until you get your result.

​

If your child, yourself, or any member of your household, have symptoms of Coronavirus infection (COVID-19), PLEASE CHECK AND FOLLOW CURRENT GOVERNMENT GUIDANCE.
