We are receiving an increasing number of telephone calls from parents asking if their child can attend school next week because one member of their household is a key worker. I would like to respectfully remind you of the following.
The fewer children that are in a Child Care setting then the less chance there will be for the virus to spread to staff and children. Together we all need to do what we can to reduce the spread of the COVID-19 virus. The recent scientific evidence on how to limit the spread of the virus is clear:
“If children can stay safely at home, they should, to limit the chance of the virus spreading.”
“Parents should do everything they can to ensure that children are not mixing socially in a way which can continue to spread the virus.”
Therefore, if you are a key worker, your child should only be in school if there is no other safe alternative.
Thank you for your continued support.
Mrs Leslie
