Harvard Park Pre- School LTD.
Notes from the management team: Welcome to 2021 and although this may not have been the start that we were all hoping for, we are here
for the time being and we are open for your children. During this time, it may be hard for you to keep a routine at home, come up with continuous amounts of things to keep your children engaged whilst trying to deal with a range of emotions yourself but it is important to remember that you are doing an amazing job and other people’s opinions do not matter - whatever your choices maybe, it is what is right for you and your family and that is what is important. We would like to say goodbye to Gurpreet and thank you for all of your help over the month of December! We would officially like to welcome Asha to our team too. The bubbles will remaining in the same as they were previously and we will also be checking temperatures everyday on arrival. Let us know if you will not be attending the setting - we need to know for funding purposes. If you are off sick from pre-school, isolating at home or simply choosing to stay at home, it is important that you keep your children engaged throughout the day. Pinterest, YouTube and the internet are full of ideas with simple activities which you can replicate at home. We will continue to provide ideas for you via the EyLog and Facebook but if there is anything specific you would like us to help with, email us and we will see what we can do. For our older children in Freedom Zone and Pre-School, if there are areas of learning that you would like help or support with email us and your keyworker will be able to respond.

Reminder about agreements which were emailed to you in October:
Agreements (which were emailed to you in October) MUST be sent in and is a requirement from Early Years. They are coming in slowly but please send your agreement back if you have yet to do so. We will be sending them out again in December so please return them, this is a requirement. Clothing and the weather: Please bring hats and gloves! We don’t have spares on site so please make sure you write your child’s name inside the hat and each glove to prevent them from being misplaced! We also need you to be sending children in THICK winter coats or if in waterproofs, provide an extra layer for them. We are keeping the doors open to keep a constant flow of clean air through the room to reduce the level of germs within the building.
