We looked into reopening in June but the demand for a place at this time was not enough to
make reopening financially viable and the decision was made to remain closed.
All staff remained furloughed for the period and we were happy to welcome children and
staff back to Preschool in September. Thorough risk assessments were completed and
shared with staff before returning. Everyone familiarised themselves with the government
guidelines and the risk assessment forthe building created bythe Thatcham Town Council
to whom we hlre our buildin&
The re-opening went smoothly and we encountered no issues. All children seemed very
famlliar already with the use of sanitizer and had no trouble followingthe new extra hygiene
measures in place.
We renewed Mlchelle's contrart with reduced hours in September as we no longer required
someone forthe initial position. Michelle later received an opportunity to work one to one
with a child in a school and decided this was more suited for her skillset. We felt it
unnecessaryto replace her at this time.
We have had no conflrmed case of COVID-19 amon& either the children or the staff. One
parent tested positive and advice was sought from the DFE who conformed no action was
required and the child completed the isolation period before returning. Two members of
staff have had to isolate on a number of occasions after beln8 contacted by track and trace,
neither developed symptoms.
No Christmas party was held this year.
In January Preschool opened as normal but due to a new lockdown and school closures
forming part ofthat, 12 children remained absent due to parental decision not to send thelr
child in. It was made clear we were open for all, notjust key workers. We contacted parents
via email. text tapestry and Facebook.

Safeguarding remains a priority as always. Risk assessments have been carried out to
ensure Preschool is a safe environment taking into consideration newly required
precautions and adjustments required due to the Covid19 pandemic and communication
with outside professionals including children services has still carried on via video and
conference calls where face to face wa5 not possible.
Children who are consldered vulnerable have been encouraged to attend and those that
haven't they have been contacted and their social worker has been informed to ensure the
child and family are still receiving support and regular contact with some fonn of outside
agencv.
